Replacement window question
Replacement window question
We have a cracked window panel that needs to be replaced.
Picture window
51.5x48
grid
white
Very easy to take off the trim and just pop out the window. But I am having trouble finding the manufacturer / specs for replacement window.
stickers says:
NAMI
NFRC 100/200
Code: IAP
RATING: NFRC
SERIES: WELD II 4000 DH
MST: 4060
NFRC
IAP-1-014
99-M
Any leads to source this window or a viable replacement would be much appreciated.

None of those numbers are necessarily a serial number.
Can you post a picture? Worst case scenario, you should be able to get a glazier to replace the glass.

I am in the market for windows. I am from Lancaster County, PA and have no problem driving a few+ hours for a good deal. I will be installing the windows myself.
I did try that get a quote button a few days ago and haven't heard anything from anyone.

Re: Replacement window question
Installing yourself can void a warranty and many dealers of the higher end window brands dont sell directly to homeowners without them doing the install. It has caused far too many issues in the past.Jakester wrote:I am in the market for windows. I am from Lancaster County, PA and have no problem driving a few+ hours for a good deal.

Re: Replacement window question
I can see why they do that but I for sure won't be buying a window that has to be installed by a dealer. I'll find the best window I can get that I can install myself. I know I can get soft-lite, paradigm or simonton windows, just trying to do more research on what is the best bang for the buck.

Easy choice. Go with soft lite.Jakester wrote:I can see why they do that but I for sure won't be buying a window that has to be installed by a dealer.

Re: Replacement window question
What line of Soft-lite should I be looking at? I was quotes $229 for Soft-Lite Barrington double hung but I think Barrington is their entry level and i've heard many times people say don't get the entry level but again i am not sure and want to get a good window.

Re: Replacement window question
If you are going to remain within the Soft-Lite series, stay with the Soft-Lite Elements or the Imperial LS.
Re: Replacement window question
I will be installing the windows myself and my budget is $300 per window. I know was quoted $229 for Soft-Lite Barrington, around $250 for Simonton 5500 but I am sure Soft-Lite Elements or Imperial LS will be way above $300.
Curious what is wrong with the other lines from Soft-Lite? I don't necessarily need the best window, just a good quality average window.
