Re: Sunrise Vanguard, Soft-Lite Elements or OKNA 800

OK ... I'm convinced. The Andersen 400 inserts are out. I'm going with one of the other 3 that we previously discussed. Now, I have to figure out which one I like best. Again, I thank everyone for their input.

Raven .......... :D

Re: Sunrise Vanguard, Soft-Lite Elements or OKNA 800

Looks like you guys don't think much of the Andersen's ... correct?

Re: Sunrise Vanguard, Soft-Lite Elements or OKNA 800

In a double-hung, is there any notable difference in performance between the Vanguard and Elements that would give one an advantage over the other? If so, under what circumstances would those advantages (if any) become a significant consideration? Also, forgetting for the moment that the Andersen 40...

Re: Andersen 400 v Marvin Integrity v Loewen v Sunrise Vanguard

WOW --- You think the Andersen 400 insert would be a better choice than Sunrise Vanguard? If so, why?

Re: Windows With Built-In Mini Blinds

WOW --- Yep. I've already let it be known, it wasn't likely to happen but I had to ask just to give myself some cover. Thanks though.

Windows With Built-In Mini Blinds

We're in the market for replacement windows and now my "Kitchen Queen" wants me to explore windows that are available with built-in mini blinds. If anyone is familiar with this option, please chime in. I've heard that Pella windows offers this as an option, but I haven't heard too many oth...

Re: Andersen 400 v Marvin Integrity v Loewen v Sunrise Vanguard

Thank you to everyone for offering your thoughts and suggestions. I did forget to ask one thing ... is there any significant difference in the structural integrity of any of the windows that you have been mentioned as possible options?

Re: Andersen 400 v Marvin Integrity v Loewen v Sunrise Vanguard

WOW --- Is there a significant difference in price between the Bainbridge and other windows offered by Soft-Lite? Or might the other models have characteristics that don't fit my criteria? Like I said, quality, not cost, is my primary objective.

Re: Andersen 400 v Marvin Integrity v Loewen v Sunrise Vanguard

WOW ... please share. What "other brands" are you referring to? Also, you suggest that i am aimlessly wavering back-and-forth between wood, vinyl and fiberglass ... which I am since I don't have a real preference. My primary interest is purchasing a high-quality window that (a) is relative...

Re: Andersen 400 v Marvin Integrity v Loewen v Sunrise Vanguard

You say that there are better choices than the Andersen 400 series. I don't doubt that at all. However, how would you compare them it to the others (Integrity, Loewen and Vanguard)? Certain of our existing windows are starting to (1) show some condensation build-up between the inner and outer panes,...

Andersen 400 v Marvin Integrity v Loewen v Sunrise Vanguard

We currently have Andersen 200 Narroline windows in our 25-year old home that we plan to replace. We've read many reviews about the various replacement windows on the market and are more confused now than ever ... LOL. A local home builder who uses Andersen windows is encouraging us to use a special...
