Re: IWC or Milgard aluminum
Condensation on the glass (not in between) is usually indicative of humidity issues in the house and not reflective of a problem with the window

Re: Aluminum capping over a vynal window.
I agree with everyone one else here. We do not do it that way but is very common. We would do that with 3 pieces so 2 seams or with polyurethane flex trim. Only drawback to the polyurethane is it will need to be painted. It takes a lot of patience to do those in 2-3 seams. I would call them and have...

Re: AI on Window Nation's Addison?
.17. I agree with the window nerd. They have clever marketing but don’t provide any value in going with them. Their value is terrible. (Price vs product quality) and you’ll likely get terrible service. Private equity owned companies don’t have the consumers interest in mind, just its investors

Re: basement window replacement
Well both are right. It can be done either way. The issue with removing the steel frame is it could damage the concrete around it or the drywall. If installer 1 is telling you he will not damage the drywall and you prefer that method just hold him accountable to repair any drywall damage. We primari...

Re: OKNA 800 ENVIRO STAR VS SUNRISE RESTORATION
Thats great that you won some free windows! Are they able to convert those free ones to the 800 series. Sounds like that deal is to good to pass up. You're comparing to great products but that price spread makes it an easy decision in my opinion.

Re: replacement casement window options?
There are a couple of thoughts about that. Do you have the money to afford the price increase. The TP will probably give you a $600 tax credit. That would offset the cost by almost half. The n3200a will not qualify for the tax credit. The only two options that would qualify are the s3210a or n3210a...

Re: replacement casement window options?
He said Sunrise doesn't use Cardinal glass. Is their glass as good as Cardinal? Also the two openings in my garage, I'd like to use a real good glass package to keep the heat out. I've been putting up a plastic shield over the windows in the summer to keep the heat out. Is there a certain glass pac...

Re: replacement casement window options?
I'm sure you could get all of those products in your area & it looks like your considering some good choices.... Going to a homeshow is a great way to see products almost side by side and get a feel for the quality of each. I would start there. Im a big fan of the design of the Sunrise casements...

Re: Expectation vs. Reality
I’d recommend calling the company and verify they were ordered the NRG glass. They could have made a mistake. You may also be able to tell a difference of the inner pane and outer pane by tapping on the glass as one is thicker than the other and theoretically sound different. There are numerous vari...

Re: Provia vs. Seaway
They're may be a few different options other than sliders such as double hungs or casements. I agree with you sliders are my least favorite of pretty much all the styles for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they are the best option for certain situations such as sizing of your window openings. If you...

Re: which side is the bead on?
Its sometimes visible to the eye on the opposite side of the glazing bead. I wouldn't plan on removing the IGU taking it to the shop and reinstalling it unless your ok with having plywood in place of the glass for however long it takes to get one made. If its wet glazed id give you about a 5-10% of ...

Re: Opinions on Sunrise/Vanguard Interior Laminates
I've done a few job with their Paintable/Stainable interior laminate. It comes in a pine laminate material and can be painted any color for that "wood" feel. This is as close as you're going to get and has turned out great each time someone wants the look and finish of natural wood. Also I...

Re: After Install Questions
It wouldn't hurt to send them the photos to ask them to clean it up a bit when they come back out.... I wouldn't wait until they come back to address the missing window as they will be unprepared and may put up more resistance. Other than not being insulated I'd say overall those things are very eas...
