Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

+1 ... You could do worse, but I definitely would not call it a "good" choice.

+1, talk to wow. You would be hard pressed to find anyone with a higher degree of knowledge when it comes to the energy efficiency
of your home.

Actually MI does offer a couple "exclusives", but they are just re-labeled 1650's .

It is very common for manufacturers to have only a few years of coverage on the labor of a lifetime warranty window. This is one reason to go ahead and have your windows installed by a professional company who picks up the labor portion after the manufacturer no longer covers it... I don't think tha...

+1 on talking to wow

In my area, you'd should be able to find a white double pane version from those manufacturers for under $600. I'd also add Sunrise and Plygem as worthy of consideration... Please understand though that every market is different, so pricing can vary substantially.

+1, You should be satisfied as you purchased a nice window at a good price.

Superior, Congratulations on your recent success. I admire the way that you do business as I run my company in the same fashion. You won't find any high-pressure or unethical practices in my company. As I said, I agree with the content of your post, I just think that: 1. Ethical sales practices are ...

EDIT.Superior, your present and past posts clearly show a vendetta against them (Great Lakes)... As for the content, I agree 100%. These energy-savings pledges are misleading and unethical. Here's some info for you though: Softlite, Sunrise, Gorell, and Milgard dealers in my area make these claims C...

Sorry, I just had to say it :wink:... Now that...

I would have swore it was his Mom, even brothers wouldn't speak so glowingly. .... It's always nice to see a satistfied customer come back with such a positive review.

Polaris is nice, although the Softlite is better imo. Also check out Gorell.

+1 to buddy's comments. Regardless of how this reward is handed out, Gorell and Alside should never be used in the same sentence except to describe the "right" and "wrong" ways to design, manufacture, and service a product.

I've heard good things, but have yet to see it... Do you have a link or anything? If so, post it on the contractor's section.

I have not seen the show, but I know that a few manufacturers are starting to offer double-pane's with U-factors in that range. They seem to have very low(numerically) SHGC's though which won't do well in a cooler climate. As for the plastic strips, maybe it's a pre-manfactured piece that snaps into...
