"I have installed several of these windows since 2005 as I go around rennovating my house. It is a simple matter to pop out the old wooden windows and install these new windows. I think they are very well made and the ones I put in 2005 are just as nice as the 2 I put in last month " -Darvon
"The window is a slider-type. I do notice the trickle of air through the weep holes that someone else mentioned. It doesn't really bother me, though. The lock sometimes catches and you have to fiddle with it a minute to get it to lock. ." -Red Headed Step Child
