I wish I had thought to put in a completion date into the contract. But still if it would have come and passed, what would I have said - "okay, pull the new windows out and replace them with the windows you threw away, and then give me my money back"? That wouldn't have been too useful. In...

It all started about a year ago

About a year ago I started on my journey to get replacement windows for my house. Of course I did lots of internet research. And I often came to this bulletin board (started on the old bulletin board). I, like all homeowners, wanted the best window, and didn't want to pay too much for it. Of course,...

How to best remove window sticker goo

When I removed some window stickers from my new windows, it left behind some sticky goo. Most window stickers come off with nothing left behind, but these were like the sort of stickers that you might put on an envelope and they left behind a pretty gooey residue. I tried a razor blade and it remove...

Schuco Window sticker - what does it mean?

We had some Schuco windows installed and they came with stickers on the windows and I am interested in what the date on the sticker means. Is there someone out there who knows? The sticker has on it (in the upper right hand corner): 12/08/04 - Is this manufacture date or the order date? It makes a d...

Is this how it should be, re window 'steaming' ?

In my bathroom, I used to have two big single pane picture windows (up high in a cathedral ceiling). I had them replaced with double pane glass. Now after taking a hot shower on a cold morning, the window steams up (or fogs up or however you say it). When the steam begins to clear up it starts in th...

I probably shouldn't have muddled this thread with bringing up Schuco. The more important question is really - How good are Sugarcreek windows?

Sugarcreek Windows?

A window company here in Atlanta recommended Sugarcreek windows http://www.precisionentry.com/. Said that to match the look of the Schucos in the front of my house and the old window which matches the neighborhood (double sunrise half circle top, internal grids, safety glass), that they were the bes...

R-value difference in room temperature

In our master bedroom we are replacing two big single pane picture windows with double pane windows. Going from R-1 to R-3 I guess. I know that is good, but what does that mean in terms of ability to maintain the inside heat in the winter, or the cold in the summer? Like is it that with R-1 we would...

Fenex, please, I have some questions for you. About your posting - are you saying that if a potential customer in those listed states has an interest in Schuco that you would be willing to put them in touch with a dealer that you would personally recommend? And in general, if you know, how many Schu...

Could someone attempt to answer my question? Is there value in doing just my east facing windows in triple pane, or is it better to do most (but not all - because not all can be triple pane) of my house's windows in triple pane, or if I can't do them all in triple pane (and I can't) then just do the...

Some triple pane, most triple pane, or all double pane ?

The plan is to replace 19 windows in our house in Atlanta. But I can't get them all as triple pane, and I'm asking you all should I get some triple panes, most triple panes, or all double panes? 2 of the 19 windows are in the garage - so those don't need to be triple pane. 1 is a kitchen garden wind...

Hmmmm - I was told that my order would take about 4-6 weeks from Order date to Install date. Nothing like that feeling you get in your stomach after you've given a big chunk of your money upfront to someone you barely know for a product that they promise will be installed at some vague future date a...

Guy, I don't have anything against sub-contractors per se- sorry if it sounded that way. In my particular case, the exclusive Schuco dealer said that they had their own installers. Several different people there said that. When the installer came out to do the technical measurement, he was wearing a...
