Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Take a picture of the entire window from inside approx 3 feet away. We may be able to determine the make of the window.

The Polaris is my preference. Viwinco is just a cheaply made window in my opinion.

First off, how many windows are you replacing? Double hung, twin double hungs ( 2 windows )? Any grids? The 2 window brands you want your installer to use are kind of at the bottom of the food chain. Pella is just a name, not a contender. So far, the only high quality window quoted is Newpro who off...

The Okna is a better window hands down in my opinion. Provia makes a very good entry door, which is what they are really known for. We have been using Provia doors for years but not the window. Definitely a decent window but not up there with Okna. What state are you in?

The vytex potomac is a very good window. You would be hard pressed to find someone who doesnt like it. Its the most money out of the three for a very good reason.

Nothing has changed on the Restoratiins window. The same workers are at the same facility that manufacture sunrise. They didnt alter the window. My partner was just at the plant.

The vytex potomac would be my first choice followed by the alside 8000. Although I am not a fan of alside at all, the 8000 is a pretty decent window. Which company is offering the 8000?

Okna is most certainly not involved because of “ price hikes”, that has absolutely nothing to do with your situation. Price hikes ( inflation) has plagued every industry the past few years, not just windows. Also higher interest rates make running a business more expensive. Again, nothing to do with...

Why do you think okna is overrated? They have nothing to do with the install or the installation company. Is there a chance you misunderstood the scope of the work from the installers?
What window ( series ) did you go with ?

Is that a total of 15 windows and 1 patio door?
Im a little confused with “ a casement and a double hung on each side”. Thats a strange configuration, you sure thats correct?

Think about this for a minute- Why would the installation company state they were doing everything with foam but only using foam for the slider “if necessary?” There is obviously a very good reason. Why insulate every other window with foam but then decide not to do one just for kicks ? I highly dou...

The okna and sunrise are far above the wincore, not even close. Yes, they are well worth the extra. There is a reason your contractor is so much cheaper.

Window world does not make their own window contrary to what they say. They use MI Windows and Alside and they throw the window world name on the locks.

Agree with the advice given above by homesealed, the Okna window is a great product offering .

I think the potomac represents the best value here. I like it better than the provia.
