Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

its been a while since i chated with y'all and i wanna tank you for all your help. we ended up not getting the new windows since my wife's job requires us moving closer to town. we ended up buying a nice 2009 built home that some executive in minneapolis had as a vacation home upgraded it with a 98%...

Good, my wife REALLY likes the look of the casement windows. i noticed that the Sunrise casements dont just open they pivot out so technicly my wife could if she ever wanted to was both sides from the inside and out that was one heavy duty hinge and gears on that..much more durable than the Vinyllit...

all 9 of my windows are 32x46" none vary would that be a difficult size for casement windows?

Well went to two window places in la crosse today and looked at windows and talked about my needs and it was suggested for my windy farm to get casement windows because if properly installed casement windows have significantly less air infiltration than Double hung, and actually give us more viewabl...

HomeSealed it looks like that deckargroup in La Crosse you directed me towards carries the sunrise line and according to emails if a factory direct dealer says he has been doing windows 20 years for them and sunrise for 10 of them, they used to carry pella for a mainstream window before that, they h...

i know im not an expert at these things but if it was 158 F outside in wisconsin to melt his windows off wouldnt we all have greater concerns? i mean thats 22 degrees ever the highest natural temp recorded on earth (1922 in libya btw) i understand that when i lived in west texas if a car was left in...

i went to the great lakes site and they said that The Board Store ( highly recomended in my area) carries the the great lakes lifestyle line and it lists an air infiltration rate of .098 and total U rating of .26 with the trple pane and .18 at center glass. if installed correctly are these realisitc...

when looking at the sunrise website my wife fell in in love with thier garden window and the possibility of her growing small plants all year round. i cannot find any u ratings or anything at all on sunrise or just about anyone elses garden windows. is there such a thing or will it be basicly big en...

Odd that the email from sunrise never told me about deckers just told me that there wasnt any in my area. and Softlite never mentions clear choice i wonder if it was because Clear choice is an hour and 15 minute drive from me (thats a very slow route but very beautifull) ill try to contact both of t...

ok after getting emails back from sunrise,softlite gorell and Marvin NONE of them have a dealer/representative in my area. so it looks like my choices in the region are. 1. Rewnewable by Anderson (wich seems to have an OK reputation in my area) 2. World of Windows 6000 series (the one in eau claire ...

Thanks ECO and TLH!

Btw HomeSealed why cant you be in Eau claire or La Cross where it would be convenient :( btw looking at some of the window information from the brands that you recomended (im gonna use sunrise for example) what exactly is the solar clean glass option does it work or is it a gimick? whats the real wo...

Thank you HomeSealed that helps me alot then giving me a direction to look. Without much window knowledge there are thousands of different places on the internet seemingly contradicting each other and is really hard to get any real information that arent glorified sales pitches. you and the other pr...

Good points posted above... There are some other products (including vinyl) that also offer blinds in the glass besides Pella. I think that the Pella Designer series is a pretty nice window (although big $$$), but I don't think that you'll be happy with it in your application. One thing that is a p...

yes i noticed that but he is over 4 hours drive away from me :( there has been a man of time in the last 3 years i wish we were closer to madison or millwakee. dont get me wrong we love our hobby farm but some times its to rural :) first after digging around i found 2 windows installers from norande...
