Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

The new Soft-Lite Imperial LS windows were installed last week by Cornerstone Home Improvement of Kansas City. We are very happy with the windows and the install.

I am in search of quality replacement windows for the family homestead. We plan to live here until death, which I hope is at least 40 years away! From reading extensively on this forum I know that Okna, Softlite, and Sunrise are preferred by the pros on this forum. Does anyone know if all of these b...
