Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

So was not able to get the windows ordered in 2021. I'd ask for clarification on a few things and the dissimilar glass and basically got crickets from the contractors. So I called Polaris today and was told that no, I could not get two different thicknesses of glass - the only option was laminated. ...

Re: Dissimilar glass in Ohio area?

Thanks Delaware Mike, my window terminology is rough to say the least but yes that is ugly looking and like a poor patching job. I am a cover free window type so I would be looking at that mess everytime I looked out. just dont think I can do it for 30 years. Todd thanks, the only Sunrise dealer tha...

Dissimilar glass in Ohio area?

Ok after extensive research I have learned that dissimilar glass (one pane one thickness, another pane another thickness) provides nearly as much reduction of outside noise as laminated glass, but it greatly less expensive. Triple pane only barely improves outside noise according the the research so...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

Todd, thanks a million. I wish I knew someone in MN so I could spread the word about you. I really appreciate your help. I asked for a revised quote for the Barringtons with the reinforcements, etc and dissimilar glass. I hope that Polaris is doing that but if not, maybe Soft-lite is. I might have t...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

Thanks ToddinMN. Yea they said about 18 weeks but said it could be sooner but well.. I have heard all the reports about the massive backups at the ports and well, the supply chain is jacked for sure. I am just hoping they come before the bitter cold does. I am not planning to do a lot of taping up f...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

Questions related to sound transmission. Are there any upgrades that impact the sound transmission? I have read that synthetic spacers do, is that true and if so, is that on option on the Thermalwelds? Are there other upgrades that are fairly inexpensive that would help with sound? I have a tall ski...

Todd, I think it said lifetime but not sure. I called a nusash place in Michigan asking for their input. No big deal if it doesn't happen though. If we sell the house I will probably replace it, if it ends up going to Medicaid it will be someone else's problem.

WindowNerd.... thanks... I am the person that might get lost in the weeds. I used to organize group camping trips with friends... like about 30 people... I was one with the excel sheet planning who was bringing what ingredients for the meals and making sure we had each item split between 2 different...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

On another front... just found my mom's replacement window paperwork. Nusash NWD2. Installed Nov 98 and except for one with fogging, they are still holding their own! They don't get heavy use of opening/closing but probably average. I think I just saw lifetime warranty. Tring to figure out who to ca...

You all really are awesome. I am not sure if you realize what a great and appreciated service you offer us and your patience with our questions upon questions! I really appreciate it. Did not realize steel would not be stainless, but again.. duh... lol... I'll probably skip the foam if it doesn't re...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

ToddinMN - thanks very much for the input. The brochure is kinda sneaky. I thought it had the foam but now I see that little asterisk meaning "optional" I am getting the full screens with the bettervue - that is what I asked for.. so I am waiting for clarification to see if he cut and past...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

Soft-lite Barringtons came in at $561 (installed) with full bettervue screens. Nice simple looking window. Specs are not as good as Thermalweld Plus, but I don't have a price for those yet. Doesn't seem like as good a quality window as the Thermalweld Plus and I can see why folks are like "meh&...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

Delaware Mike - It is amazing they leave that but I guess you are right, so many people have window treatments that keep them covered up. I am a wide open type and since I don't have close neighbors to peep through the windows and the traffic is going way too fast I keep mine open as wide as possibl...

Re: Vinyl Double Hungs in Ohio for $500 ish??? Screen options? VT and glass surface area... mind numb!

I tried to post a reply earlier but apparently it is lost in cyberspace. Really appreciate all the advice and the input about installer quality. That was the first thing I did, hunt down installers with longevity and solid reputations. I got quotes from Zen for comparison sake, but since they use &q...
