Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

believe it or not i have had people ask me to leave them a completely filled out sales agreement so they can use it for the tax credit. i have no idea how they are going to monitor the actual homes that received energy star rated windows and those who simply have come up with a sales contract. remem...

homeowner, i can not believe i am going to say this but here goes, i agree with your post. see all things are possible. keep enjoying your new windows, and hopefully someday everyone will join us in the 21st century. dafreak, i like you because you always try to get the last word in. like myself. th...

okay dafreak you are right. with a u-factor of .50-.58 i can see the investment. and they are beautiful, i will start offering them this afternoon. and thanks for the help on the math, i have never been good at that. however, just one more thought before i try to get all the storm windows back from ...

i must be missing something, what the he@@ does it matter what your house is worth? it is all relative, take the two same identical houses right next to each other and put storms on one and new windows on the other. now see which looks better, will sell quicker,is more comfortable ect, ect. dafreak,...

yes, they are ugly and that is why i have never sold a single storm window. they were ugly in 1990 when i started selling and installing windows and they are the exact same ugly window covering system they are now. it has nothing to do with money. actually quite the opposite, as i am sure i have wal...

i for one will take that bet. a good quaility replacement window will not need replaced in 15 years. i do not know where you are getting that information. but it does prove that a consumer with misinformation will make a poor decision. fen exs post is 100% accurate and probably a little conservative...

there are too many goof contractors out there that is the problem. just kidding i could not pass it up. 5-600 bucks an opening will get you a window that will last years and be very energy efficient. good luck

doesn't fibrex come with a ten year frame warranty? and you think that will suffice? i believe you said absolutely. if ten years is all you are looking for then put them in your house. ten years goes pretty fast.

Guy, not throwing you under a bus by any means, just gathering information. sharing experiences and giving opinions.

no not at all. just the opposite actually. that is why center of glass values will always be better performance numbers. that is also why picture windows and casements will tend to have better u ratings. a big part of the difference in u-factors from window to window is wool pile being either double...

impervia ,better numbers than any other window out there except schuco?
i scrolled the nrfc for 2 minutes and found 18 windows with better numbers then the impervia. mid level at best ,u-.33best numbers? cmon guy head back to the coffee maker this morning. thats it drink up and rethink that statement.

forget about "lifetime", i want to see years. a good warranty will state 0-20 100% // 20-25 75% and so on. in other words a transferrable warranty with a minumum 20 years non-prorated. all operating parts should be addressed in the same manner. everyones lifetime means different times. i w...

attention all rba sales reps, your new updated sales manuels will be arriving shortly. there has been a slight change in the way we will be selling our renewal line. since we can no longer bash vinyl and make people believe their only other choice, by the process of elimination, is our windows we mu...

steelerfan, i feel bad for you. you waited patiently, you were probably the most excited person i can remember to get your new windows. post after post of how happy you are going to be. you didn't pay them anything for that did you?

my opinion is basic common sense and easy. if water is allowed to go out then air must be allowed to come back in. for this reason i never will recommend a pocket sill window, not to mention asthetically they look terrible. especially when the weep hole covers turn grey in 2 years.
