Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

“You could also walk through a kennel of pitballs with no pants and peanut butter smeared on your jewel pouch and not be harmed, but again, not sure that I'd take those odds.” i agree with Uncle Eddie. i tried that and i now have a permanently high voice. the good news is i get to use a trans gende...

At ~ month and half shy of four years now and still completely happy with my windows and the install. I felt need to visit here and again thank all of you that helped me understand finer points of window replacement. Earlier today I updated my evaluation of the Alside Casement windows at near 4 year...

As promised, this is update of endurance of these windows. At just short of 4 years since installation, I’ve had no problems with them other than actuator adjustments right after installation that I talked about in post #1 on March 23, 2016. This includes windows themselves and installation quality ...

Well shucks, I just got the popcorn maker working!

I own a duplex and its energy efficiency is not very good. I've insulated the attic and under the house and it hasn't helped enough. I figure the next logical step is to replace the windows (which are original to the private landlords ...1968). I don't have any experience purchasing windows...so I ...

Thanks Gentlemen. You are correct in that it doesn't feel like a sales funnel which is why I feel comfortable here. Its also why if it is a lead funnel its the best long term one I've seen. Being only an interested party and buyer of windows installed little over year ago. The information I receive...

I contacted the person a couple of days ago and got no response so I contacted Okna today and asked if there were any other dealers around and was told that they are so far away that it is doubtful they would travel that far. Good to know now because if the person and or company I talked to was not...

Thanks for the professional insight. I will keep eye out for this when open all day, especially on hot sunny days.

Alside only has one casement window which for some reason is distributed east of the Rocky Mountain area without an awning widow combination and Rocky Mountains westward that does include awning window combination. Below is my assessment (homeowner) of eastern region unit. Had these installed 2/25/2...

....... Now will the talent of installers be there I can’t actually say, but will be watching for poor practices that I can notice. ............. Maybe the installer is good but talk to me in a few years about your window world casement window and tell me you are still happy, im guessing you wont b...

Thanks Guy , I can read you’re sincerity into this post. I would truly like to thank you and a few others here that have greatly helped me better understand finer points of windows and installation, to go along with my general engineering mechanical knowledge to come to a decision. In my location wi...

uncle eddie , You’re advice is sound and I understand what you’re saying. I was aware enough to get the install process documented in writing on the signed contract from company representative. So when installation starts, if it starts to be done differently I will stop them and demand it be done a...

masterext , I will update after install in couple months or so (8 week delivery) and after few years as you suggest. You may be correct about quality that is not apparent visually. I was not looking for cheapest, I weighted window, installation and cost equally and went for best two out of three si...

......Have ya looked at Okna 700DX or Sunrise?..... Hey WindowNerd , I did look at Okna 700 at dealer in VA Beach but they didn’t service my area. The window looked good from an engineered mechanical stand point (my only abilities). As it happens I just signed contract and made down payment yesterd...

Guy, Thanks for your time and reply. I have come to recognize all you have said to be good information. What is puzzling to me, is when I question local contractors about how installation will be done, I always get either “don’t worry about it I know what I’m doing” or answers that represent what I ...
