Re: Clad Wood Windows for new addition in New Orleans

Homesealed nailed that , it’s not uncommon to see price increases in 1 year that exceed a 5 year period from years past. The market is not stable by any means and don’t expect price cuts because Elon did . Yeah I hear you guys. Just more of a slimy feeling from this particular salesman that made me...

Re: Clad Wood Windows for new addition in New Orleans

I’d rule out the Pella and the Andersen 400 and perhaps the elevate. The Pella. Is designed poorly, the 400 uses outdated jambliners, the Elevate looks clunky. The Marvin ultimate has the Most traditional looks, the Andersen A-Series and Woodwright look great As well. The Ultimate is aluminum clad ...

Clad Wood Windows for new addition in New Orleans

We are enclosing a long side porch on our house to turn it into living space: mudroom, bedroom, bathroom, and breakfast nook. There's a total of 7 rough openings in these new rooms. The existing house is all wood windows so we wanted to go with clad windows in the addition so we could paint the sash...
