Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

Eric --- Give me a call sometime this week so we can talk about the energy conservation work that we previously discussed.

Pete

Amen, Brother. I second that.

P.S. --- FYI ... Jose is here today wrapping things up. He has been doing an absolutely terrific job. We are very happy with the quality of the windows and Jose's work .....

Tru2it --- You can feel completely confident dealing with WOW. His company will be doing an install for us in a couple of weeks, and during our previous meetings and conversations we've found him to be extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming. He's a straight shooter with a solid reputation.

For $60 or so, I'd take the Soft-Lites over the Simontons. For my monry, it's just a much nicer looking window.

Your timing is impeccable. Just last night, a contractor stopped by to show my wife and me some windows including the Simonton 5500, Soft-Lite Imperial LS and Vanguard Sunrise. Performance-wise, the Simonton was certainly competitive with the other two ... maybe a tad below. However, when it comes t...

With regard to double-hung windows, how do these windows compare in terms of performance, appearance and cost (for a given size), and what are the general pros and cons of each? We're planning to replace about a dozen DH windows this spring along with one bay window. I had previously dismissed the S...

Buddy 11 --- If you're trying to make a point, just spell it out. No need for bobbing and weaving. We're all big boys here.

WOW --- What is your first name and, if I were to call your company to get an estimate for replacement windows, would you be the guy who would come to our house? Also, can I assume you are the owner of the company? BTW, there is nothing self-serving about stating the facts. I guess you could say &qu...

WOW --- Do you sell Marvin? I ask since you always speak highly of them. Just checking ......

Thank you very much for the advise, WOW.

WOW --- If I were to use the Marvin Infinity, would you recommend going with the Everwood option for the interior even if planning to paint it white rather than stain? My concern is whether the Ultrex has a high-gloss plastic look to it or if it appears somewhat matted.

WOW --- Are you saying that the Infinity in 100% ultrex is a more attractive window that its Integrity counterpart, or that the Infinity in 100% ultrex is itself unattractive? I haven't yet seen either of them.

We're planning to replace our double-hung windows later this Spring and are considering, among other brands, Marvin Infinity vs Marvin Integrity windows and am curious about reviews. From what I've read, both of these windows can be ordered in either 100% fiberglass (Ultrex) or 50% fiberglass (exter...

I realize that price is almost always a consideration, but I'm interested in knowing which windows the pros would use in their own homes if they wanted ....... first --- the most attractive DH fiberglass window, vinyl window, wood-clad window? second --- the DH fiberglass window, vinyl window, wood-...

Toejam --- I'm not an expert by any means, but based on what I've read it sounds as though the spacer can influence the thermal performance of the window as well as condensation build up. Apparently, the various materials used to manufacturer spacers transmit hot/cold to varying degrees. I don't thi...
