Re: Sunrise vs. Seaway Encore vinyl replacements
Sunrise is a great company and a great product. They have been "in the business" far longer than the 16 yrs, as the Delman family founded Great Lakes window company before selling to PlyGem. Sunrise as a company is a top performer in innovation, quality, and performance. You can search hig...

Re: Difference in SoftLite Lines
The Imperial Pro is a nice window IMO. It is not the "latest and greatest" offering from Softlite as WOW mentioned, but it still has some fairly strong numbers. To me, the choice would come down to how much difference there is in cost, and also who is installing it. It is unlikely that the...

Re: confused after first presentation
+1 to Anthony's comments.... I think most of the "sign now for a big discount" guys don't make time for forums such as this where the primary focus is helping consumers, so you won't see much of that around here.

Re: 3 Vinyl windows for $3150 installed!
$800 for a wood laminate on one window??? :lol: I'd be happy to take a road trip for that kind of mark-up.... Seriously though, you mention "big" window(s). Is one or more like a DH/PIC/DH or something like that? If so, that is actually 3 windows in one opening which would explain the pric...

Re: confused after first presentation
2 windows met in a bar one day. Both were vinyl. One said the other was crap because he did not have a little sawdust in him. The other turned and asked if too much fiber made him more pompous and air-agant. The barkeep told the one pompous window his days were numbered. Some day someones going to ...

Re: confused after first presentation
1. Crap.... has some bit of truth, but 3-5 yrs is a lie. 2. Total crap. I don't know how true that was of cheaper units 30 yrs ago, but it definitely does not apply to today's products. 3. WOW! Now that isn't hyperbole, that's a flat out lie! What kind of a disgusting person/company would look you i...

Re: Help: Provia Integra 300 OR Soft-Lite Imperial LS window?
Provia doors are top-notch, although I must admit I'm not familiar with their replacement windows. Softlite on the other hand is an excellent choice. I am also interested in how many units you are looking at because a difference of $650 for 20 windows is far different than for 2.

Re: Sunrise vs Window World
Sunrise's products are very highly regarded by most in the industry. I can say from extensive personal experience that it is a very nice product. This product is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Window World. They install Alside products, primarily equivalent to the Excalibur and the Sheffie...

Re: Simonton or Plygem Premium Series Double Hung Windows
Either one is miles and miles better than Lowes offerings... PlyGem and Simonton both make pretty nice products and you'd be well served with either choice. I have more experience with Plygem so I'm somewhat partial to them, but other guys can say the same about Simonton. Pricing shouldn't really be...

Re: Sliding patio door estimate Help please!
I agree. I can only speak for my own market, but $2000 is about right, give or take depending on options and quality.

Re: Will low e and argon windows make my house darker?
Eco answered your question extremely accurately and thoroughly... The only thing that I could throw in there is that when choosing a new window the VT rating (visible transmittance) will tell you how much light will come through... As Eco said, I don't know if I've ever run into a situation where a ...

Re: New Window
It would probably be fine for warmer climates. That SHGC is very low for anything else, and I would think the VT has to be terrible.

Re: Rotten wood MW windows, but only need replace a few
I agree with WOW... To be honest, most of people who are window "experts" say "yuck" about full wood frame window like the MW's that you have. High quality vinyl windows will offer the best bang for your buck without question. If you can't get over the fact that it's vinyl, then ...
