Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

You may want to check out your building code requirements as well.In MN they require new windows to meet a .35.

There should be more details on the install before commenting on price.

I would say the Simonton's are better, but Viewpoint is a good window.At 2/3rd's the cost I would take the Viewpoints.As usual install is key.

Why don't you give us the details and what the low and high range should be then.I am not that familiar with Okna pricing but have a pretty good idea from postings on this board(some of which have good details on the install).I also know that installs can greatly differ especially on a high rise.

Just the dtails of the install.

Some pictures would help with advising.Asking for water problems if window are to protrude to the exterior.
