Difference between Okna and HiMark

#1 Post by JPM »

Are they the same window when looking at the 800 series? Is there a reason why there are two brands and which dealer network as larger.

Thanks

The classification of the HiMark brand was/is reserved for dealers that meet several standards as it pertains to customer service, install techniques, and volume.

The 800 series is the 800 series.

+1. Same window as things stand currently, just different dealer networks.

I found the "branding" within product lines cumbersome to say the least. I chose HiMarks/800DX, HiMark was optioned up 800 that included full screens. Other upcharges included grids, paint and TP. Pricing is dealer driven so hard to say what individual options cost unless they tell you. You will also see the 800's called EnviroStar.

Pretty much the old Biscayne, Bel Air, Impala GM marketing scheme. I also found Sunrise even more confusing, most Sunrise dealers did not know the difference between a verde and a venti. At least they weren't letting on. Also had Restorations guys that carried Sunrise base, but would not call the Restorations window a Sunrise window. All pretty goofy.
