Re: Okna Window and Patio door quote in-Line??

To be honest, i dont think you will find a more efficient window than the Okna. I think you you are getting very good pricing for one of the nicest looking and most efficient windows in the entire industry. The company offering that window ( HomeSealed) has one of the best reputations in the business.

Re: Okna Window and Patio door quote in-Line??

Its a beautiful window and considering hotel accomodations, that pricing is more than reasonable. I would also have to add this. You need to keep in mind, anytime they have to make a service trip for any reason at a couple hours away, that is pretty much a full day for a technician or two between tr...

Re: structural support for picture window.

We have done fixed windows that wide with no issues. The total width of that unit exceeds the width in which Okna will ship mulled. We field mull all the time. A field mull is no different than a factory mull. That said, your total width is 128”.. why not do a conventional 1/4- 1/2- 1/4 ( 32-64-32 )...

Re: Majestic vs Okna 600

I forget what extrusion the Ideal “ Majestic” uses. However, its very strong and has a very nice looking sash design.

Re: Majestic vs Okna 600

shgc has nothing to do with how good a window is. shgc is based on a specific glass package. both okna and Ideal “majestic” offer various shgc ratings. typically, a glass package with a low shgc will render a lower VT rating. one window wouldnt be better than the other based on shgc.

Re: Majestic vs Okna 600

both Majestic and Okna are good windows and nice looking.. Ideal “majestic” is nice looking and very efficient, so is the okna. Mike is a pro that serves your area, i would try contacting him. Either window will serve you well.

Re: Insulated Glass Units - Dallas

When you start looking for cheap alternatives you are making a big sacrifice on quality hence impending issues.
Unless its a rental or some kind of house flip.

Re: Opinions on Atrium 8700 windows.

Agree. When we say atrums “ higher end” we are only comparing to other atrium products which isnt saying much.
Okna is in a totally different class and much higher end than anything atrium offers in my opinon.

Re: Soft-Lite double-hung equivalent to Okna 800

Soft Lite’s top windows are the Elements and the Imperial LS which are comparable to the Okna 800 and Okna 600 “ Eco Pro”. Depending on what state you reside in, certain offerings could be limited.

Definitely worth it. Go with Elements over the classic if you can.
