Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

I'm not sure I can follow the simonton site to get the available window sizes but in the new window sizes the two lite sliders stopped at 72". That series is called the "Brickmold 600". I can't get their window sizes pdf to load right now and it doesn't seem to be that I can download ...
