The frame material on the THV Compozit window is unlike any vinyl or fiberglass window out there. Insulation wise its 62% better than wood and over 200% better than vinyl. It offers a triple pane glass pack which in MN is well worth the investment. The frame actually has a lot of the same properties...

Re: quotes - by window
I had one guy say he could give me a quote by window but it would be more because he has to make the prices such that he can do what he listed even if the homeowner says they only want one window! News Flash! Any contractor who comes and does just one window will likely lose money on that job. That...

Why is it that consumers only seem to ask for these breakdowns from contractors? When you bought your car, did you get a breakdown on how much the steering wheel cost, and how much the guys on the line got paid to put the car together? When you buy a burger at McDonalds do they give you a breakdown ...

Well until one of the dealers answers my simple question I have no reason to doubt Schuco. pbiancardi I applaud you on your appreciation for the Schuco windows you had installed in your home. The window was (and I use that word on purpose) the best engineered replacement window on the market. It so...

I'm glad someone else is bothered by this thing. Its a complete rip off, ponzi scheme. Anyone who falls for it and buys windows thinking they will get their money back beware! They came in my office a few years ago pitching the idea. They admitted that they make the rules so difficult for the consum...

Its not nearly as interesting as replacement windows, :wink: but I do have a link you should look at. Monarch Manufacturing makes an egress window system, that includes a well cover. (Monarch owns Hurd windows, btw.) Here is the link to the whole system. You are on your own finding a distrubutor in ...

True there is a difference between the vinyl and the thermally broken aluminum in terms of efficiency. Lets face it -- the sunroom will be the least efficient room on your home, no matter which way you go. The room is 85% glass! People build sunrooms because they want a room that has maximum sunligh...

Do you have an opinion on performance with a vinyl clad frame vs. the aluminum with the thermal break? I'm still a little gun shy with Four Seasons vinyl room. Its a relatively new product for them and I don't believe they have all the bugs worked out yet -- making installatiion a little challengin...
