Re: Additional Window Brand Options

Well, Brando shared two with you, that should be enough. Why don't you tell us what your qualifiers are? cost, energy efficiency , looks, accessibility, durability. At what levels for each, and do you determine? Is the project a flip, your home, or a long term investment? theWindowNerd Thanks. This...

Re: Additional Window Brand Options

Are you planning to replace more windows in the same home? If so, sticking with the same window used previously would be advisable. No. This is for a different property. Just curious as to what you guys think would be the next best if one wasn't using the typical recommendations. Just like some bra...

Additional Window Brand Options

All, You guys have been a great help in the past and I really appreciate the information you provide. I am familiar with the vinyl options from Okna, Softlite, and Sunrise. In fact, I have some nice Okna 600 windows in my home presently after consulting on the forum. However, I was wondering what ot...

Re: Okna Windows Questions-Thanks

Thanks. I take it the triple does have a larger total airspace on the 600 series, which might bump it a bit over the double. In regards to laminate, is there anything to be concerned about from a structural standpoint? Will the window last just as long and does it change the warranty in any way? Bes...

Re: Okna Windows Questions-Thanks

Thanks Homesealed. It's looking like the Okna 600 or Soft-lite Imperial LS for us. I would be happy with either. I'm trying to decide the best way to allocate my budget on double-hung glazing decisions. We are mostly triple pane but might be adjusting down to double in some areas for savings and up ...

Re: Why is shopping for windows so difficult as a homeowner?

Stardog, I know what you are saying. I'm in the same general location, and I find everything in our area to be equally as difficult. We are doing the window research thing, and the pros here have some great knowledge and advice. However, there's not much anyone can do to help with our location. I so...

Re: Okna Windows Questions-Thanks

Thanks WOW, Mastertext, and Homesealed. I appreciate the information. I have a few other technical questions maybe best served by a new post. Would other details on my job like glazing options for unconditioned spaces and laminate glass questions need a new post or should I just keep it here? Some o...

Re: Okna Windows Questions-Thanks

Thanks so much WOW for the detailed response. I think you got me squared away. Much appreciated. I do really like the 800, but I will have to see how the budget goes. I know some folks keep it and the 500 generally close in price. Others seem to go with the "base/premium" pricing and have ...

Greetings. I have been learning from this site for years and am finally looking at replacing my mostly DH windows in the North Central climate zone. Many thanks to all for taking the time to educate those of us willing to learn. I was hoping some of you could double-check my understanding of the var...
