Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

thanks!

Not yet, I wondered if that amount of leaking is normal.

I have 2 Simonton 5500 sliding doors, both installed about one year ago. How much air should I expect to come in from the metal track that the door slides on that is exposed to the interior when the door is shut? This cold weather seems to be seeping in through in that track area. A very small draft...

Thanks, appreciate it. I'll go with the Soft-Lite.

Thanks for all the previous help from this board, I'm at it again. :D I am interested in replacing my 5 section bow window. I have Soft-lite Bainbridge windows throughout the rest of my house (happy with them) and would like to come close to the same soft white and try to have a thinner a muntin (?)...

I am deciding between the Simonton 5500 and the Milgard french style doors. I am leaning towards the Simonton, my window guy thinks it's a better value and also has had some other customers like it.

That is good to know, thanks. Can you share any other advice about sliding doors?

I will probably not get the wood interior, due to the cost, trying to get the look for less. The picture of the all vinyl interior on the softlite website shows mitered corners, similar to their windows.Are the mitered corners an aesthetic, or do they make a stronger joint?

Thanks! I got the Soft Lite windows and am quite pleased. I will look up their sliding door.

I would like to replace my MD home's ancient sliding patio door with a French Style Sliding Door. I have it on good authority that the Andersen 400 series is a nice door (thanks WOW :) ) I love the look but am on a tight budget. I saw that Milgard made a vinyl French Style Door. Any recommendations?...

Although I'm asking about a door, I thought it was really closer to a giant sliding window. I got so much helpful info here, I thought I'd try again! I would like to replace my ancient Anderson sliding door with a fancier French Style Sliding door. I'm in MD and have the standard 6" - 6'8"...

I have had my SoftLite Bainbridge Vinyl Double Hung windows for about a year. I am very happy with the look and performance of these windows. My Maryland house was noticeably warmer/cooler and quieter this past year. No leaks or any complaints. I chose the Bainbridge because of their thin profile, s...

I am in the Md area lokking to replace windows and I was just wondering what company did you choose to get to install your windows. Thanks I am in the DC metro area of MD and I got the name from the Softlite website using my zip code. He mostly sells a "private label" Softlite window, the...

Oh! That's disappointing. Guess I'm learning more than just windows on this board!

Consumer Checkbook has ratings on local firms... FYI, Consumer Checkbook is driven by advertising dollars of the firms that are represented in them. Oh, I was under the impression that they accepted no advertising and that the listed businesses were rated based on subscriber feedback. Do businesses...
