i am now joining windowman and saying wow. This is why i gave up on these type of boards. if you do not want windows do not buy them. coil the brickmold and call it a day. WOW ,, windowman seen it coming before i did. a little slow nowadays.

does the owner of the engineering firm you work for do all the estimating and sales presentations for prospective clients? the reason a company wants your wife to be their during the presentation is so us sales reps do not have to keep going out giving the same information over and over again. isn't...

virginia energy star mininum requirements are <.40 u-factor. which is pretty poor by todays standards. so if that is how energy star figures their estimated savings [probably do] then you could expect bigger savings then what they are estimating. however, the people trying to sell you windows are pr...

Maybe you shouldn't replace your windows. Although energy savings is very important it is only one factor in the equation. General appearance of the house seems to be the number one reason most of the people i talk to buy windows. Couple that with operational ability and overall comfort level in the...

duraseal and swiggle seal spacers are the same? what is the reference source for this info?

earwax i am not on the defensive or getting my feathers ruffled. did not mean to come across that way. to be honest with you i do not know what i would put in a window to make the perfect window. i have seen spiral balances fail i have seen constant force fail and i have seen block and tackle fail. ...

earwax, yea i guess you could say the owner is "making a go of it" only since 1978 in ten cities throughout the midwest. i don't think there are any plans to go out the west coast, however i will tell ownership that earwax doesn't think they would make it out there. that should put any pla...

window dan, all i need is the correct spelling of the last name and the city/state where the job was located in. also the name of your company and the approximate date when you were there. i can get the rest of the information and see what happened.

once again i must ask window dan or whatever. how many air-tite windows have you replaced repaired or serviced? thats right none. don't just join a board and feel like you are required to spurt non-sense. if you could read and follow the thread you would have realized that i already addressed your c...

windowman, how is it you know so much about the air-tite window? how many air-tite windows have you installed or serviced or replaced? not familiar with gilkey, i have never installed, serviced or replaced a gilkey window therefore my common sense and professionalism will not allow me to comment on ...

like i said contractors do not like the companies that make and install their own products. whats wrong no chance for a contractor to jack up the price? i am sorry i forgot whatever window you guys sell is the way to go. that is why this board has gone from good information to marketing tool. later

epc, of course there is a lifetime warranty. 20 year non pro rated and 50% parts after that. the warranty is fully transferrable and includes accidental glass breakage. look at a few different windows and judge for yourself. remember, if contractors or dealers can't buy the windows then unfortunatel...

fenex, i do sell these windows in the northern ohio market. and we also have offices in chicago so they probably are a competing window. misinformation regarding spiral balances. i used to have plenty of spiral balance tools to do service calls and had a bad taste with them in the 80's and 90's, the...

fenex and w4u, i always respect your advise but to just slam products that you have limited facts on is misleading. i have only two questions for the both of you. easy questions requiring only a yes/no answer and a number. ready? is this a competing window of yours? yes/no how many of these windows ...
