Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

Schuco is announcing this week that they have failed to attract any interested buyers and will be shutting the Vinyl plant down in June or July of this year.

Could anyone familiar with Wisconsin codes confirm what is required, regarding NFRC certification and labeling of replacement windows, for residential replacement in Wisconsin .I refer to U-value requirements and NFRC certification. If a window manufacturer knowingly sold windows in Wisconsin on an ...

Yes they did (or do) have the Good Housing keeping seal.

Sorry FenEx, I was in the process of typing the previous message when you sent your message. I did not mean to step on your toes...

My advice to everyone who cares...do not respond further to Biancardi. He purchased his windows from a great guy, windows4u. I say that with sincerity, but he has his stated position. Let the two of them enjoy their relationship. DO NOT be baited into a situation where something is said that will ne...

Widows4U I think that without question, you should, but can't, admit that much said in this forum about bad service, poor quality, and sloppy workmanship is true. You know that the reason you are now getting your service parts in a miraculous two weeks is that A. Schuco is a shadow of their former s...

Does it make sense that they are going out of business? http://www.windowanddoor.net/latestnews.php?id=2541 Did you say going out of business? I am sure you meant to correctly say "sell the business" right? At this point I would have to suggest to anyone window shopping that it might be a...

Just wondering, what is the point of this post? To further bash Schuco? Amazingly I am a real world customer who has not witnessed any of the problems that you speak of, I have had (2) small issues (window that didnt fit and a window with a stress crack) both of which happened AFTER the "sky s...

This is assuming a high perf...

The PDF is a good, honest description of why ...

From the wording you described, I would say you are OK with cancellation. I do think it would be unfair to the Contractor to force them to absorb the cost of the Stucco tear out and redo. This may be a case were the initial contract price just won't stand the additional work that the measure person ...

Does your signed contract with the company mention or refer anywhere on it, the addendum that you typed?

Fen-Ex,

How did the conference call go?

Now, for more interesting information that Schuco never told you about. Schuco is actually a subsidiary of a much larger German company called "OTTO FUCHS". Otto Fuchs lists SCHUCO International as a subsidiary specializing in "Aluminum" building components. You can view this inf...
