Re: Replacement window options with similar styling to Pella Architect series?

Good to know that HiMark is the same as Okna! I though their contact forms seemed very similar...

I found a good rep for Sunrise that does installs in this area, so we'll be taking a closer look at their offerings.

Thanks!

Re: Replacement window options with similar styling to Pella Architect series?

Thanks guys. I definitely do want to consider vinyl, but have yet to find any dealers/installers around here for the manufacturers I've seen mentioned on this board that are held in high regard. So far, no dice on Okna and Soft-Lite. Sunrise came back with an installer located in St. Louis (over 200...

Re: Replacement window options with similar styling to Pella Architect series?

Hi guys, thanks for your replies. It seemed that the outcome of my previous thread, about working within the existing Pella mulls and trying to replace the sashes, was that it was going to be a difficult/risky project to do. So I thought I would start anotheer thread about full replacement options (...

Replacement window options with similar styling to Pella Architect series?

Hi all, Our recently purchased home (built in ‘96) has all Pella Architect windows, many of which have badly rotted casement and picture sashes. Unfortunately Pella will not offer sash replacements for pre-2004 Architect windows, and their replacement quotes are quite expensive. We would like to con...

Re: Pocket window solutions?

HomeSealed, would you mind clarifying what you mean by replacing windows while "the mulls can stay in"? If the sashes in between the mulls cannot easily be replaced, wouldn't the mulls have to be taken out along with the rotten sashes to be able to install any replacement window(s)?

Re: Pocket window solutions?

Yeah, even though the Architect series is active, they are saying that any ones older than 2004 have been discontinued.

I am located in Northwest Arkansas (Rogers). Thank you.

Re: Pocket window solutions?

Thank you both for the helpful replies. Sash replacement is what we are leaning towards, as we really like the mull styling as is (seems to be hard to find in newer window products). Is Pella our only option for new sashes, or might there be options with other manufacturers, and/or alternative mater...

Pocket window solutions?

Hi all, Glad to have found this forum! Our recently purchased home (built in ‘96) has all Pella windows, a combination of casement, picture, and double hung. Some are badly deteriorated, and need to be replaced. As an example, I’ve attached a few pictures of one of the larger windows in the house. T...
