Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

I work with a non profit that does several hundred blower door/infa-red test a year.From talking with the personel that does the testing and writes the recommendations ,the windows being the biggest leakers is a myth.It is extremely rare that they would recommend to replace windows.Either way,a blow...

I would also check out Richlin and Gerkin for higher end windows.There are also some good mid grade windows by Atrium and others if you do a search.And as always a good install is key.You may want to have an engery audit done as well,old windows are usually not the weak link unless they have broken ...

Any word on the RBA air infiltration numbers?

So now I can only comment on price if it is to high or to low and have good timing?

alot of these local manufacturers appear to have decent wndows but looking under the hood you can see why they are so much ceaper..lower quality grade of vinyl,poorly engineered ect.. that is a very cheap priceand to me its somewhat of a red flag in terms of quality. any good quality window with a ...

Yes that's a very good price. In fact I really don't see how a company can stay in business with that pricing. We don't usually comment on price.we generally only comment on price if it is out of line.In summery, we are here to help the consumer sort through the complexities and BS of purchasing wi...

Actually most of the commenting on price is by you Todd. Much to the chagrin of the other Pros on here. Most of us agreed long ago that we were here to help consumers choose the right window. Not as a place to help them negotiate the cheapest price. If you have a problem with that, please take your...

commenting on price does a disservice due to complexities of pricing. if you find a good quality window,you like the company,and the price is reasonable for the quality you are getting then calling 10 more companies in order to start a bidding war is not a smart thing to do. example, a few years ba...

Wow, that is F-ing cheap if you are correct. I know of illegal's getting $35 for window wrapping alone without materials.I have seen some of WW's installs and they have done a nice job on the install and the capping was very nice.

Actually there is alot of commenting on price.Do a search and you can get a ballpark price.You will get more responce if you post your bids and give more details on the install.

Here in MN ,window world is a locally owned franchise.Homesealed,what is window world paying there installers vs you or your installers?Most workers are getting pushed whether they are hourly or paid per window.The EPA rules are in effect now,the only thing that has changed to my best knowledge is t...

Silverline 8700's are sliders and the 3100's are single hung windows.You probally meant silverline 8500's.I am not familiar with the 3100's but the 3201's are a nice window for the money and I would use those over the Silverline 8500's.Home depot also sells Simonton's but you sometimes have to ask a...
