Re: Windows for a screened in porch.

Finding a single glazed( monolithic) unit as a single or twin will be difficult. If cost is not an issue contact a glass shop and ask them to quote with tempered store front. Twin sliding windows to fill each opening is going to be the simplest to get done. It can also be done as a single direct gla...

Based on the photo I would estimate those openings to be 9 to 10' wide and 7' high. You can do operating windows or patio doors. In PD or SGD you could do a two panel slider in each opening. If you can find a single glazed aluminum product this would be the cheapest way to go. If you want picture wi...

Re: Old Anderson Window Pane Replacement

I just recently reglazed my first AW DH sash. It went well.
But it was from this century.

Re: Andersen Fibrex vs Marvin Ultrex

Yes there is a real difference, but doe it matter? "Fibrex" is not fiberglass, and it is no were near as strong. Does it matter, not really, you do not need the added strenght. Look at the warranties and compare. Also look the air leakage actual test results. I lean towards the AW400 Woodw...

Re: Shims

the Op states "Every window frame is slightly wider in the center than at the top and bottom"
If the windows are hour glassed then either the jamb jacks were not used properly or they need to be shimmed.

Re: Comparing Window Option

Which way are you leaning?
Full tear or insert? How does your current trim look? Interested in changing style? What would be the advantages to you in either case?
The full tear add is a good price. Though this is not your full in cost. You need to add interior painting to your cost.

Re: Overwhelmed by replacement vinyl options

If you want the Okna 500DX then ask the bidder to sharpen the pencil.
In our area the that might cost $13,500. wh/wh, DX, half screen, 101Ui or less, no tempered glass.
