Re: Clad Wood Windows for new addition in New Orleans

You can install the siding.
Just make a 5/4 x 4 picture frame, temporarily tack it in place over your building wrap, when the windows come with ifns remove the 5/4 x 4 surround install windows, tape, cut surround to fit and permantly attach.

Re: replacement casement window options?

They will make wider than 36" casements, this is supported by their size chart that also presents different glass options and the limits.

Re: Clad Wood Windows for new addition in New Orleans

I have been in the industry for 45 years.
Pella has the most failures, lack of quality, lack of long term support. and general arrogance.
The Andersen 400 Woodwright is a good clad wood window, I also like the Marvin Elevate.

Re: replacement casement window options?

If any of the casements are large Sunrise seemed to have the most published engineering.

Re: replacement casement window options?

You have two hings you need to nail in this project, alright maybe three.
the product, the installer/install, and the company/contractor. A miss, less than 95%, on any one will end up with a deficient project.

Re: replacement casement window options?

How old is the company?
I like the look and design.
It is a 20/10 warranty. 20 years on seal failure Cardinal glass, 10 years on hardware.
What is pricing compared to Infinite?

Re: replacement casement window options?

I doubt you had two companies quoting Marvin Infinite. More than likely Marvin Infinite was one and Essentials was the other. Almost the same window, Infinite dealers almost always are more espensive due to their marketing model.

Re: Replacement window options with similar styling to Pella Architect series?

If you do a full tear out/ full frame replacement I would still suggest the Marvin Essentials as they will have the smallest frame edge to visible glass dimension. But take a look at vinyl, that edge of frame to visible glass will be much different especially on the transoms

You previously post this.
Either vinyl dead lite sash, or look at Marvin Essential insert replacement.
