Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you HomeSealed. I have gone to the Sunrise website and had to put in my information and a contractor did contact me, but he did not serve my area. I will try to call them directly. Thanks again for all that you pros contribute to this website, it is priceless for us homeowners.

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Are there any installers in Southeast Michigan that you would recommend to install the Sunrise patio doors? A few I have contacted do not come to my area. I don’t know if this is a question that is acceptable to ask on this board.

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you WindowsDirectCinci! That helps with me visioning how it all works. I have had such bad luck with installers hopefully when I finally do replace them in the spring the company I chose will do a great job. I wish one of you experts could be in Michigan to do the job for me :D

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you HomeSealed for clearing that up for me. And also thank you for the great advice on the dealers. Since the Sunrise is not welded, then how do they guarantee their air infiltration numbers...meaning when the patio door is installed, how do they fit the pieces together to insure no air leaks ...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you Homesealed. I would imagine that the Sunrise Restorations patio door and the Softlite are both good, from what I have read? Would you choose one over the other and for what reasons? How do I know if the Softlite dealers are true dealers and not just selling them as part of their repertoire...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Great to know Homesealed. I very much appreciate your expertise and comments. I will keep all of this in mind. Like I mentioned before this "fix" is to just get me through the winter. Unless it turns out to be the best repair of all the previous 5 repairs and replacement of parts that I ha...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you Homesealed. Sorry for the late reply. I am still waiting to hear back from the company. Their concern with removing the door was possibly damaging it. The other piece of the puzzle is because it is 10 years old can they still find parts. I did appreciate how honest the guy was in his asses...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you so much Homestead for your detailed answer! The guy who measures came this afternoon. He was very honest and stated to me that the new Marvin Infinity doors do not have the same look as the older one that I have from 10 years ago. The bottom part that the door sits on the sill is different...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Masterext,..I do not believe he said it was a Sunrise product,..Good Question! He said it was the same as the Sunrise Restorations. The way it happened was I was looking at their website and noticed that they sold Sunrise Products, which I only thought they sold Marvin. So I asked him specifically a...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thanks Randy. I know you are correct in terms of what I read. Even though the Sunrise Restorations is a thinner profile door,...it still has better specs???? Perhaps I should just wait until I can get a dealer with the Sunrise Restorations patio door and not the Solace patio door which the dealer is...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Ok,..thank you for that opinion. So I guess my only option is to go with the Marvin Infinity :( I would perhaps consider replacing the other patio door next year, financially I just can't do both at once. So do you still think the Sunrise Restorations is a better door though as compared to the Marvi...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

My dealer and installer is saying the Marvin Infinity is the better door. And since I already have another Infinity next to the one being replaced I should go with the Infinity so they could match. I live in a condo and do have to abide by the rules, I just want a good door. The current one I have i...

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

I agree also, I can not find specs on the Solace door. But in one of the posts on the forum one of the installers here stated that it is the same door as the Restorations, and made by Sunrise but sold through Owens Corning? Not sure how that works but it was in one of the posts here on the board.

Re: Solace patio door is it the same as sunrise restorations?

Thank you WOW. The company is a Marvin dealer but also sells Sunrise and a few other brands. He just told me in an email that the Solace is the same as the Restorations, but is stating the Marvin Infinity is the better door. What is the CPD number?? I saw on their website and did not know that they ...
