Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

dont know much about Anlin but it seems like a decent product. good luck.

there may be some confusion here regarding lead. if the house is old ,as contractors , we only CONTAIN any potential lead , we do not remove or abate lead. removing lead is not the responsibility of the window contractor. a lead removal/ abatement is expensive and has absolutely nothing to do with a...

its really hard for us to comment on price unless its ridiculiusly low as this one definitely is or if its high. most of the pro's on thos board who devote their time helping homeowners out happen to carry the higher end brands. they also happen to be very established dealers so anytime a company cl...

The Polaris Ultra would be the best of that group while the Atrium would be at the bottom and not even a consideration.

those prices are just ridiculous and i would be very leary about a dealer claiming he can do a window job that cheaply when he is not making any money. i offer the Affinity Ultra Series which is a step up from the Elite and a better window. that said,the Okna 800 is a better window. i actually calle...

if you lived on Arthur ave, i would come from jersey to do the install..lol window world does not make a good window, its basically an alside excalibur. anything in the price range that was quoted will not render anything in the quality department. there are much higher quality vinyl windows that wi...

the pricing for the soft lite is totally in range. i would definitely go with the soft lite.

Robert, a good deal isnt just a good price, its a solid install with a solid window.
the soft lite pro is indeed a good product. 410 is very cheap for that window though..its usually higher than that. wonder why its being offered that low.
let us know how everything went.

thats an Okna casement i see .. looks very familiar.
pvc coated aluminum wrap on the exterior?
beautiful work.

i am not a fan of Gilkey due to them utilizing a pocket sill design. pocket sills are not only terribly outdated, but also a very flawed design. most pro's arent fond of pella vinyl.. they are just not well designed. if you are searching for a high quality window that not only looks very nice, is mu...

first, if there is any rotted exterior trim, it needs to be repaired/ replaced before installing aluminum coil. second, done correctly, aluminum coil is a great long term option. is pvc trim worth an extra 20%? beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i use it from time to time when requested but i hav...

Kyle there is a pro who frequents this board that i believe serves your area. his name is "Randy " . do a board search of his name and then click his contact button. i am pretty sure he carries the brands you are interested in. he is a true professional and an all around gentleman. fwiw, i...

this is somewhat common. some companies slightly change their name to fully encompass all the jobs they perform ect..example, joes windows.. now they do siding and roofs so its joes remodeling... i know power did this.. some companies have old names and just want a better sounding name.. and then th...

If there isnt a large enough gap around the window foam will not fit. In that case caulk is fine. Also, this is where the perimeter foam wrap that comes witth the window comes into play.

thanks for posting your results. this is exactly why we recommend Dave.
