Re: Harvey Tribute vs. Gorell and/or Okna?

Did you ever see a corner cut of a Harvey window.? Very thin walls. Harvey tribute is average with average performance numbers and an average (at best) design. Very flimsy sill wall and unimpressive welds. Gorell or okra are better windows. The tribute triple pane with krypton only renders a .22 u-...

Re: Two Toned Vinyl Windows

I don't like the painted windows. They fade quickly and scratch easily.The foil laminates are far better IMO. I think Sunrise still offers a true co-extruded exterior.. :?:

I agree with HS. I am using the timeless in my new home, but the simonton is also a good choice

Re: Gorell 5100 vs 5300

Is the 5155 a different model of Gorell window all together or a 5100 with a specific configuration? Buddy mentioned that a Gorell 5155 w/ FG reinforcement has an AI of .09 in the following thread. http://www.vinyl-replacement-windows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4018&start=0 I was mistake...

Re: Gorell 5100 vs 5300

The 5300 has a lower air infiltration rate .08 vs .17, but it comes at the cost of bigger (fatter) frame and sash extrusions. The 5300 also will get the identical numbers with AC master as will the 5100 with eco master glass packages. The eco master uses an additional layer of low e which might be m...

Re: High quality vinyl window companies?

This is to replace my old wood windows. I love the fiberglass Integrity and Infinity windows. But Integrity are only in some standard sizes that won't work for me. The standard size Marvin Ultimate Double Hung windows and Circle Tops will work, but the gaps between sizes are much bigger for Integri...
