Re: 1979 Dbl Pane Aluminum Frames are “SHOT”
I got a homeshow discount…I don’t know if that was actually larger than usual but passing that along since there is a home show in Sharonville this weekend. I had them install everything…did nothing myself. Sliding door: ~$2800 Windows: average price around $1100…I had many different sizes so it var...

Re: 1979 Dbl Pane Aluminum Frames are “SHOT”
I am in Cincinnati and had an outstanding experience (after great help from the pros here) getting triple pane Soft Lite Elememts and sliding door from Windows Plus in the summer of 2023. They were truly zero pressure, great prices, great to deal with. I was originally a little worried about the VT ...

Re: Renewal by Anderson Quote
I am a fellow consumer who learned a ton from this forum. Today was day 1 of my windows installation - softlite elements; as a reference, RBA quote was 150%+ more than the Softlite Elements. My advice having just gone through this process - get some more quotes from the recommended windows on this f...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Thanks for the confirmation and advice by all along the way. It seemed like a tough decision initially until we laid out the pros/cons based on everything we had learned. We ended up going with 4 double pane & 15 triple pane windows and one triple pane patio door. In case it could help anyone in...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
I have to say this board (and the others this group of pros frequent) has been an incredibly valuable resource. Steered us away from more expensive/lower quality options like RBA, Champion, and Gilkey…and in the end made me disappointed to not have Okna as an option (I did contact the company and wa...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
One additional question/twist as WDC called me today and I was honest that we were still debating soft lite TP windows and sliding door and the SL quote was a few thousand lower. He then informed me that Sunrise also hasa a promotion for upgrade to triple pane for free…but that DP with their high en...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Very helpful comments like usual. Since Okna is not an option here we are debating the 2 quotes and 2 companies for installation. Currently, wife and I are slightly leaning in different directions. Question on the restorations based on more reading…what is the best glass package for my area (Cincinn...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
All the quotes are in and we are down to weighing 2 good options with equally good and reputable installers. 13 sliders, 3 casements, 2 picture, 1 eyebrow, 1 sliding patio door 1. SL Elements, triple pane glass, ultra-s glass; $25k 2. Sunrise Restorations, double pane, HP SolarPlus12 glass; $28k (co...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Huge thanks for all the info and advice. Here is where I am at for quotes, 18 windows (majority sliders with a few casements) and one sliding door, all from different companies: SL Elements (TP): $24k SL Imperial Elite (DP): $28k (claimed it would jump to $49k if we didn’t sign that night…which we d...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
There are occasions where a “price is only good for today” has some validity. Example, a company has gone outside their normal coverage area in order to accommodate a homeowner. There are other reasons as well. Of course you also have some bs reasons. Valid point. This was Window Nation who seems t...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Thanks homesealed and wow. In fact, the Sunrise quote will be tomorrow night from Windows Direct of Cincinnati. I only hope that it isn’t another “good price only if you commit tonight” because I got that impression with some of those warning signs. I will post more when I have a good comparative qu...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Thanks for the additional info. I had not thought about or considered the weight of the door, but that is an interesting point to consider. In general it has not been clear to me if I should go with double or triple pane in the windows. Unfortunately there are zero Okna options here; I emailed the c...

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Is it possible (and/or recommended) to get triple pane glass in a sliding patio door? The SL elements I have a good quote for are all triple pane but the sliding doors were double…

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door
Thank you for the insights and especially to Delaware Mike for the explanation. I will avoid the ProVia since so little cost savings.

First of all, a HUGE thanks to all of the pros that spend the time to help educate people like me. I realize you don’t have to do this but choose to help. I am in Cincinnati and found this board after getting a ridiculously expensive quote from RBA to replace 18 windows and 1 sliding patio door (win...
