Re: Polaris Ultraweld Installation Question
Looks fine so far. They should insulate and trim those gaps before finishing.

Re: Very large replacement project
While I like fiberglass for my boat material I don’t see one single benefit in using it over vinyl for windows. Quite the opposite really, usually poor warranties, significant cost & subpar efficiency ratings. Saying it expands at the same rate as glass and that’s why it’s worth significantly mo...

Re: Strange rumbling sound in new Marvin Infinity windows
Could be the screen rattling or if you have grids in between the glass they could rattle slightly. I couldn't imagine an installation scenario other than not insulating around the window and something like exterior trim being loose and rattling

Re: Okna
Gilkey is a mid tier window at best. Bulky, not aesthetically pleasing, middle of the road performance & outdated design. Okna is a clear winner here

Re: Okna 800 vs SoftLite Elements vs GreatLakes ComfortSmart
I'm not a dealer of Softlite or Okna so no bias here. It is a known fact that soft lite has had major quality control issues the last several years. While I do prefer the sleek locks compared to Okna 800 that is about the only thing I can say is better. If the Okna is also less that's a no brainer a...

Re: Issues with Anlin Windows in Denver, Colorado
Wow is spot on here. I would first check your home humidity levels. Aside from humidity issues, the first photo looks like there is a fitment issue between the frame and sash. Almost like the window isn't fully closed

Re: Okna Starmark Evo Gut Check
Starmark is just built differently than any other window out there with solid construction. I'm not sure if 2x the price justification is there though. I'll also add that the Restorations price doesn't seem right and seems low for that product

Re: Very large replacement project
I’m not sure Todd. I’d have to do some major digging to find it. We’re talking 2016 or 17.

Re: Very large replacement project
I would make sure you verify the air leakage rate on the Lindsay windows. The window has some nice features but Last time I checked the air infiltration rate was pretty bad

Re: Brands to consider for Denver Colorado
The Kolby air leakage numbers are most likely just reported as a pass/fail of less than .30 Some manufacturers don't publish air leakage numbers which seams to be the case here

Re: Brands to consider for Denver Colorado
I believe there is a company near you Blue Bird windows that offers Anlin and Sunrise. Might be worthwhile to check out

Re: Recent window install
Im with the others, the spacing between the window and frame is normal and expected. The only thing is if the gap is on the smaller side of the spectrum 1/8" foam insulation isn't really a good option imo as I prefer 1/4"-3/8" void for foam. Fiberglass insulation or filling the void w...

Re: Looking for specs on casing sizes
If you get in touch with a specific dealer of those products they should be able to provide you with that info.

Re: Input wanted on proposed fix for improperly installed windows
Your willingness to pay extra for the extra work definitely has merit. The tape should also go around the entire window perimeter with proper overlapping….. another less expensive and effective option would be to add another row of flashing tape or house wrap under the flange and properly overlapped...
