Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

pricing looks pretty reasonable to me.

i like the Majestic a tad better than the platinum as i think its a little nicer looking. my installers like the majestic alot, they feel its very solid and installs nicely. i also like the sill wall better on Majestic although the platinum is still a good offering.

We already said we dont like the essentials.
the Element price is very goood.

I answered on the other site. Although i like sunrise, not a fan if essentials or alside. In his case soft lite is the better option. As far a screen warranty, most companies dont warranty screen mesh. That said, try to upgrade to the sunrise vanguard. I didnt realize that was Chris’s company. He is...

Vanguard is much nicer looking, built much stronger, more efficient. Its a much better window and in my opinion, one of the top 5 windows.

One of the most common responses i hear from a customer is “ im not sure how long i will be living here”. Thats usually a defense mechamism with the hopes that a window company wont try and sell them a more expensive window. That said, the second most common response is “ anything will be better tha...

The essentials is not highly regarded but the alside is $1000 cheaper. What does that tell you ?

In my experience customers like the bevel. Dont get me wrong, some companies have silly looking bevels. However, the soft lite elements/ Ls, Okna, or Sunrise have very slick looking bevels.

Not sure what you mean by that but every customer i come into contact with absolutely love’s the exterior bevels on the Okna 600 and 800. I would imagine the feedback would be the same from some of the others.
The extra structural features in the 600 and 800 make them extremely strong.

Whenever i have a customer who wants noise reduction, i recommend the Okna 600 or 800 in triple pane. The 600 also gets a .18 ufactor with argon. Another pane of glass equals more mass and combined with a foam filled frame and sash as well as spray foam insulation, noise is definitely reduced. In my...

I agree and prefer the 800. A happy medium without scarificing quality would be to ask for the 600 Eco Pro.

I would be more focused on the fact that the owner fixed the problem and the windows look good. The bottom line is the results which seem to look very good.

Soft lite or sunrise.

Mike, the lumberyards carry Ideal’s budget window. The Majestic series is a true welded sloped sill with no weep holes. Its a much nicer design. The Majestic is a solid window in my opinion.

Whenever you get windows installed, there can always be some degree of variability in terms of install or exterior trim among different homes in the same area. Some homeowners expect their windows, especially the exterior to look exactly like their neighbors and sometimes, for whatever reason, its n...
