Re: replacement casement window options?

He said Sunrise doesn't use Cardinal glass. Is their glass as good as Cardinal? Also the two openings in my garage, I'd like to use a real good glass package to keep the heat out. I've been putting up a plastic shield over the windows in the summer to keep the heat out. Is there a certain glass pack...

Re: replacement casement window options?

I went to the Topeka home show today and spoke to a few companies I got bids from but most didn't have any casements to look at there except the Marvin Integrity casement. I also talked to my neighbor which is my insurance agent about windows and mentioned I got a bid from Continental Siding for Okn...

Re: replacement casement window options?

I want to ad that because that I have a woodaire fireplace that I heat my home with, it's more important and beneficial to me to have windows with a lower solar heat gain # than a lower U factor because when it gets colder, I throw another log on the fire but when it's hot, my electric bill goes up....

Re: replacement casement window options?

I called Okna and they said Continental was the only dealer in my area. The salesman here called someone and asked if a vinyl casement was available and they said it was not. When I mentioned also being interested in Sunrise and Soft-lite he was adamant about the vinyl windows sagging and warping a...

Re: replacement casement window options?

All windows have been quoted as pocket installs....the same type installation on all bids. The 11 openings there are 5 twin casements, 2 twin picture ( didn't need to open in the garage) 2 small singles each side of the fireplace, one triple(2 side casements with one center picture) and a quad ( 2 c...

Re: replacement casement window options?

I'm in eastern ks so a cat 5 hurricane should be out of the question but a tornado is possible but then the windows would be the last thing I'd be concerned about :)

Re: replacement casement window options?

He was also saying how much better the Okna was and that any vinyl windows like the others I mentioned would tend to sag and leak because they weren't near as good as the Okna polymer windows.

Re: replacement casement window options?

He mentioned the air leakage .03...said that's the best there is.....Is the Okna triple pane at $41,016 almost twice as good as the Sunrise restoration windows for $22,721 or Softlite Elite for $21,340 though? I'm 66 years old so a 50 year warranty on the Okna isn't as important as it once might hav...
