Let me guess.. you are a car salesman? A politician? Work at a flea market? A pawn shop? I know that we don't haggle and many other reputable firms don't either. This is because we offer our best deal the FIRST time, instead of playing games with other people's money. Simply put, we try to earn busi...

MD "As far as the Loe3 goes, whether or not it will lead to lower energy costs depends on which area in California that you live. Generally speaking, if you live in an inland area where your summer cooling costs out-pace your winter heating costs, then it is a good value for you." I will c...

Truth makes the hardware for many manufacturers... and their warranty is only to the window manufacturers. "Most" windows are only warranted to the original owner. Therefore, most window manufacturers intentionally keep their names off the product. You can purchase Truth hardware from any ...

Consultation rates depend on the needs. We have manufactcurer and government services, in-house consumer services, contractor/architect services, etc. Is it about comprehensive entire home systems or do you just want to cut to the chase about windows only?

"I guess I will find out just how much Anderson name in the market place helps me to sell there top of the line." The Renewal by Andersen is not even Andersen's top-of-the-line. Their higher-end (although mid-grade) is the 400 series with the 200 series being the bottom end contractor win...

It appears Sunrise does have listed U-factors as previously stated, I must have missed it. My apologies. 1 & 2) I never questioned that the NFRC is the source used, I simply stated that the numbers given on a tested model may not apply to every window manufactured under the same number depending...

Interesting discussion... few thoughts to share. First of all, the NFRC numbers posted here for Sunrise are incorrect. I believe their best DH has a U-factor of .19. While we are on the subject of "U", I'd like to point out something. All materials can obtain a U-"value" by conve...

My guys are instructed to cut right at the edge of the window and cut through the old fin... leaving it in place. Then we break a "lower case'- sideways h-channel in aluminum that works as a "J" and with another bend or two it covers the new stops. Original appearance, great protectio...

SBLF There are other benefits to doing a full frame replacement anyways and I can safely say that about 40% of ours are done this way. You get original size windows without the extensive glass loss and a more original appearance. You will also get better performance as I can GUARANTY that the old ja...
