"Permits for window replacement in Texas are a revenue generator (permit purchase + increased property tax value) and a way for bureaucrats to exercise control over what homeowners do with their own homes."
I agree, unless it is a clear safety issue, butt out.

Re: Name of group of windows that fits between studs? No header?
perhaps the OP knows the gable ends need little structural support for the little load.

Re: Okna vs Vytex vs Provia
I would suggest looking at the Okna 800DXor 600DX.
In Vytex look at the HP Potomac.

Re: Deciding which contractor/windows to go with
The starting recommendation for us in AW is 400 WoodWright, it is a completely clad exterior. The 400TW does not have a clad sash. As for performance high quality/high performance vinyl is vastly superior. You need to decide how much draft is okay. A little, a lot, or none. Certain high performance ...

Re: Name of group of windows that fits between studs? No header?
Agreed, quad mulled unit.
It is a non bearing wall, but code would require a structural header anyway.

Re: Mulling: Factory vs On-Site
As long as they do not do an H mullion which are prone to leaking you should be fine with either site or factory mulled. We drive most projects to the jobsite in a pick up truck with 8' bed. Anything over 94" pobably requires driving with the tail gate down. My guys prefer not to have the tail ...

Re: Name of group of windows that fits between studs? No header?
I am not aware of a specific name for that. Small no header, or headerless stud pocket. DE Mike and I could get creative: direct glaze IGU over the edges of stud then jamb ot studs, or Just paint or cap the studs gives you VG 14 1/2" or 22 1/2". I have not seen a 24" OC in ages. wayne...

Re: Pella Proline replacement options
For us, if we were to go through the agg of taking out that sill dam, we would just as well do a full frame. The Doylestown project I mentioned that we used Okna inserts. Forget to mention the existing interiors were staine, we used Melrose cherry laminate and split finished grids, looks great. Like...

Re: Pella Proline replacement options
Some of the first Proline windows were all roll formed, sooner after they were roll formed sash, extruded frames. It is easy enough to install inserts into clad frames. The salesman and installers just need to know how to measure and install. Our installers like to saws all off the outside aluminum ...

Fiberglass offers larger picture units.

Re: Window Quotes in Tennessee
It is beyond understanding why companies that are premium companies ( Pella, AW, Provia) to name a few, but not the best engineers think pocket sills are not a problem.
I asked an executive at Pella about it and they said what do you mean?
