Re: Replacing the glass from another identical window
I think post 6 missed the point. You are deglazing an existing IGU to reglaze into a different frame. That fixed CMR will stay in place till you demo the whole frame.

Re: SILICONE vs POLYURETHANE
We most often use Soudal medium modulus silicone, if we are doing white or clear.
Color is a judgement based on gaps to be sealed, clear can make for some ultra clean lines.
If we need a color and it has to be paintable Quad or quad max.

Re: Replacing the glass from another identical window
If the installers get one out in decent shape then you can use it.
Not only is it old, it is thin builders grade glass. Instead o 1/8 it is single strength and cracks easily.

Re: Anyone with Okna almond windows?
Eric is correct G8 window beige is a good match for Okna almond/beige. What Marivin color you thinking, Cashmere? It is the closest to Okna almond. Besides asthetics you will be concerned with budget and draft. If you are doing almond both side then you will look at the Okna 600, assuming DH. If spl...

Re: Nashville TN- Windows
RRP is not lead abatement. It is lead safe wok and protocols required by the EPA. We all hate it.
My partner just changed ours to $150 per window.
Good choice.
