Re: What to consider when replacing double hung with all casement windows?

The Okna is a great window and is the best of that bunch while pella is at the bottom.
The Okna 700 is their casement window. They also have double hungs and sliders as well.
Okna is known for their superior energy efficiency and structural integrity.

Re: MI Windows & Doors /Sunrise acquisition

Since windowdirectcincy is the only true sunrise dealer here, i would take his word. I have used sunrise on more than a few occasions including a large bow window and never had one issue. Its a solid product offering.

Re: During & After Installation Advice

If you hired a reputable company, you are good, simple as that.
Most companies that use higher end products usually do good installs.

Re: Is exterior trim required on Okna replacement windows?

The Okna window will NOT protrude 3 inches, you are incorrect. The jamb depth is 3 1/4” the same as every other window. Your exterior is very common and there is absolutely no issue with Okna’s exterior. With a replacement, you keep the existing J channel. The Okna has a decorative bevel which also ...

Re: Window pricing for MN

I am in agreement. There is nothing shady about them cashing your check. You cancel, they send you out a check. Whats the big deal with that?

Re: Okna Glass Options

Th casement that okna offers is thoroughly tested to handle the slight increase in weight by adding triple pane glass. I would not let the thought of extra weight from triple pane affect your decision. I have had triple pane casements on my porch for almost 10 years with no issues. The “ sun seal “ ...
