Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

I am amazed at what some people are charging for gutter caps and leaf protection these days. How much should they be charging? Depends on the area of the country, product, etc... To broad a question without giving more information. Would you care to expand? Skydawggy, send me your email or email me...

The Alcoa product was probably "Leaf Relief" and is a decent product that I use. For retro installs, I have used a product called RainFlow that is a very easy install and seem to hold up well. It is a drop in product and not a helmet. For gutter and cap, we use a product called leaf guard ...

To expand upon windowmannynj's comments and perhaps shed a bit of light into the situation.... The Alside 6000 window that your are looking at is the Alside Sheffield. Quite a beefy extrusion and window. It has a clip in sill design which is not really desirable because of the impact on viewable gla...

I am not familiar with the Reece window, however, the Gorell is a well liked and respected product.

Has it changed...?

I can't seem to log in anymore.

Lowes sells many different windows. What manufacturer are you talking about specifically in the Lowes window.

The difference in the glass spacing makes virtually no difference.

Many times a balance will not be strong enough because the window is not shimmed tightly enough. The friction caused by proper shimming is part of the calculation to a properly operating balance. Tightening the screw jacks on each side of the frame may be just enough to solve your problem if your w...

Some constant force balance systems are not really designed to be adjustable. The old MacGuever way to do it was to just tighten the screw down that was holding the balance coil to the frame of the window. This would create slightly more tension by creating more friction inside the balance and there...

Air can hold varying amounts of water vapor or moisture. The warmer the air is, the more moisture it can hold. The amount of moisture in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount the air could hold at a given temperature, is called its relative humidity. For health and comfort, indoor...

Not alot of stucco out here on the East Coast, however, I would be very suspect of that nailing fin coming out without damaging 20+ year old stucco. Most west coast installers do what they call "jumping" the frame. I would call Milgard home office and see what they recommend. They made a c...

Milgard is a superior product and has a great warranty with factory service.

WW typically uses an Alside product line.

I would say that the number is more like 50/50.

50% product quality and 50% install quality.

Sears sells and installs Simonton products.

Basically a 5500 with the upgraded spacer and balance covers.

You can do the same window much cheaper by another private window company.

Better windows out there for much less.

Why did you select RBA?
