Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

JD Powers and the BBB are uselss.

no way they have the money to even consider this. large infusions of cash,whether by keeping interest rates artificially low or spending ;inflation always follows.

the PGT is an interesting window and seems very well made,particularly the 2300.

both are good windows but the okna 500 will render better performance numbers than the 5100; okna is a .25 while the gorell 5100 is a .30 .. okna also has a lifetime warranty whereas gorell is 50 year which is basically a lifetime.

I would not even consider the Lowes Pella. Pella make a very low quality vinyl window; its bottom of the barrel with American Craftsman/Silverline. All professional's would agree on that.

the Okna's are the the better of the bunch and the prices are definitely good. yes,more labor removing metal..

for an extra 200 i would definitely go with the Okna 500 series; its a no brainer. that is an excellent price for the Okna 500.

you're trying to say wndow world use a good product? are you kidding me ! they use Alside windows. have the OP do a search of Alside.

the contractor that praises Silverline has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. its a very poor quality window.

excalibur is a very poor quality window. do a search and you will see that. bad design and leaks air. united is a tad better but still not regarded as quality. you do not want to shell out a bunch of money on a product you think you are getting a good deal on simply based on price. it will prove to ...

Cellular PVC is a solid, foam-extruded material that expands as it cools and hardens. The foam extrusion process creates air bubbles that help to make cellular PVC lighter and stronger than most other materials. For instance, it is 140% stronger than vinyl, which makes it more stable. That stability...

are they "tilt in" sliders?
