Re: Searaching for Enerlux installer for NW Washington, DC

I'm not "stuck" on fiberglass; vinyl windows can't be installed on street-visible windows in the Washington, DC Dupont Circle Historic District. I don't know whether Inline is any more "supported" here than Enerlux is. Inline provided the name of a VA installer but the installer ...

Re: Searaching for Enerlux installer for NW Washington, DC

Thanks for the linked page but it was one guy's four-year-old opinion regarding a long-dead product (Serious) AND "Paul V" has, by far, been the most responsive and helpful of any fiberglass window manufacturer, installer, or dealer I've dealt with so far: Alpen: Had to repeatedly request ...

Re: Searaching for Enerlux installer for NW Washington, DC

I agree and would be happy to have a contractor/dealer/installer manage the entire project. However, Enerlux does not provide recommendations of dealers or installers for its products. I've researched dozens of fiberglass windows and really would like to use Enerlux windows and doors based upon desi...

Re: Searaching for Enerlux installer for NW Washington, DC

I am still searching for a company to install Enerlux fiberglass windows and doors in our 10-unit condominium building in Northwest Washington, DC. We have about 94 windows, 3 French doors, and 2 sliding doors to replace. The owners have selected the windows they want to install and I have quotes fr...

Re: Need Guidance on Replacement Windows!!

I'm glad your window-selection process is proceeding well.

If you're willing to share, I'd be interested to know what your Enerlux installation costs will be: either per-window or for the entire project (with the total number of windows disclosed).

Re: Simonton vs. BF Rich vs. Softlite and Price

Amateur here. :) Because our 1980's condominium building is in the Dupont Historic District, we are prohibited from installing vinyl windows and have had to search for an alternative material. We selected Enerlux fiberglass windows for our project. Enerlux manufactures slider windows but strongly re...

Re: Need Guidance on Replacement Windows!!

The Enerlux window prices -- excluding installation -- were surprisingly competitive with those of vinyl windows. You may even be able to take a look at them at the plant, something I can't do from DC. Enerlux is sending a 1/4 window so I can get an idea of how it looks.

Re: Need Guidance on Replacement Windows!!

The building is in a historic district but the building itself is not a historic structure. I know the rules are much tighter for historic buildings than for other ones that are in the district. I can't explain why vinyl windows are prohibited and fiberglass are allowed as they don't look all that d...

Re: Searaching for Enerlux installer for NW Washington, DC

Despite its name and the location it shows in this forum: "DC Metropolitan Area-Maryland/Virginia/DC", Windows on Washington does not do work in Washington, DC. It should remove "DC" from its forum location.
It does provide a lot of help on this forum, though.

Re: Need Guidance on Replacement Windows!!

You might want to consider Enerlux fiberglass windows (enerluxwindows.com) which are manufactured in Omaha. Their windows are my first choice for our 1980's Washington, DC condo window replacement project after reviewing and getting quotes on several fiberglass windows (we can't install vinyl window...
