Re: Spontaneous Shattering of Vinyl Windows
Glass breakage after 7 years in home is not normal, but also not unheard of. A manufacturer will not warranty glass breakage unless specifically written in the warranty. Simonton, Milgard and JELD-WEN have it written in. A house can settle and put undue pressure on the corner of the glass, especiall...

Vinyl is a more maintenance free window than wood. WOod will allow for a higher structural rating for wind loads and the such. Wood warranties and cladding warranties will depend on the manufacturer. Jeld-Wen and Sierra Pacific have the best wood warranty and the cladding warranties are usually ten ...

Like with Milgard, they have the two vinyl frames they use. (Classic and styleline). The Styleline is thier builders window. There are less options, thinner vinyl and usually lower energy ratings. That will not reflect the quality of the window as far as making the best product with the given materi...

I would not hesitate to order from the Vacaville plant right now. As far a Comfort Design, they are a small company that put a small office in California. They do not manufacture there. (At least they did not last year). Not to familiar with their product, because they are not a large player in the ...

When I recommend Milgard, it is usaually becuase of their ease of use to the customer. ORdering, options, quality, lead times, and service. Simonton in Vacaville has not always had a great reputation for quality and service. They have done great things in teh past year or two. They have a new Genera...

So I'm sure Airtite has it's place, but should be priced accordingly and not represented as an upscale window, when all of it's components are from the bottom shelf. I'd need more than 20 sq feet to make a window like that, but no where near $200,000 dollars I agree with your post. It was 20K (20,0...

I don't know if it is just me, or did we have this thread about a day ago, wait, it is still going. If you like fiberglass, simply state why. If you like vinyl, state why. It always seems like people in fiberglass use the contraction and expansion of vinyl and the vinyl people talk about the smell o...
