What model is the 2000 based upon?

Ask that question first and go from there.

They will get it to you soon enough.

Okna, Soft-lite, and Sunrise are a few off the top of my head that are pretty available.

Average to bad.

Very good double hungs leak 0.05 and less.

That is an insane price for that product. Look at some of the other installs this guy or his crew has done. Evaluate their work.

The fact that the guy doesn't know his arse from a hole in the wall is not uncommon for sales people.

While he gave you a steal of a price on the Bainbridge window at around, the fact that he said "R" factor doesn't matter as long as it is under 0.30 gives me pause. I guess if that were the case, they should just stop measuring below U-Factor of 0.30. The Bainbridge window is certainly com...

Hilar...

Which Prism model...platinum, gold, bronze...?

Yes they do. All windows expand and contract. The expansion rates of vinyl are typically overblown and touted as a design flaw by other material manufacturers (i.e. fiberglass, clad, etc window producers). In a 6ft patio door, the lineal (long section of the door) might expand or contract the thickn...

Okay.

Thanks.

J,

can you head over to the contractors forum and get my email?

Oh, clad unit. Most here are wood at that age. No brick mould, Clad frame, vinyl siding: we are going to loosen the siding, remove the existing window, flash the sill, install the full frame Infinity with silicone behind the nailing fin, except at the bottom, cover the nail fin with 8" protect...
