Re: Polaris Thermaweld Plus install
Quality control with a manufacturer has absolutely nothing to do with installation quality, they are completely separate.
There will always be a certain level a variability when it comes to welds on a window , some may seem a tad cleaner than the other and well within the realm of acceptability.

Re: Help deciding on vinyl replacement windows
The Polaris “ Ultimate 2” with argon is triple pane and gets a .18 U value. That is a very good number with argon.
Ultimate 2 plus with krypton is a .16.

Re: Okna Window Price Increase? (Northern IL)
As long as the federal reserve artificially holds interest rates down from buying bonds to support an over valued stock market, the weaker the dollar will ultimately get and the higher inflation will become( look at where gold is trading). Inflation is already showing up in the aforementioned exampl...

Re: Okna Window Price Increase? (Northern IL)
Prices for virtually every home improvement product have gone up substantially this past year due to supply constraints. Its only going to get worse as inflation is starting to seep into the economy. Prices for windows, siding, roofing, decking, doors, lumber, metals, tile, oil, and of course the pr...

Re: Great Lakes ComfortSmart vs Provia Endure
option 1 and 2 are pretty equal. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on glass breakage, most companies find a way to replace that free of charge regardless of whether its in the warranty.
option 3 is not an option in my opinion.
what state are you located?

Re: Picking between Zenwindows and Feldco (Milwaukee)
Keep in mind Homesealed is using a much better product and Im quite certain his installers are much more qualified. I don't want to cast aspersions on the other companies but Im wondering if they are just using sub contractors. Have you had a chance to compare products? Its pretty much apples and or...

Re: Vytex Windows - Company Being Sold?
If Vytex does get sold you have no way of knowing what kind of cultural changes could occur within the company. The other company ( WOW ) has a proven track record in every conceivable category. I certainly understand not wanting "to leave any stone unturned" but with WOW, you don't need t...

Re: Vytex Windows - Company Being Sold?
News to me ( if true ). That being said, its quite common. If it is sold, everything usually remains the same and its usually an investment company. If I was a vytex dealer would I rather it not be sold? Of course.. But in the end, its common although I would be shocked considering its a family owne...

Re: Decent quote? - Windows and Door - ProVia
Im not trying to be rude but perhaps you shouldnt be concerned with how much money a contractor is making unless of course you can share your own tax returns to the contractor. Its very intrusive. i would never allow a customer to ask such questions.

Re: Provia Endure vs Aspect vs Soft-lite pro - Please help !!
There are more differences between the Endure and the Aspect, not just the tilts. The Endure is a heavier, stronger window.
The price he gave you is already super low, i dont know how he would come in lower on the Endure.

Re: Provia Endure vs Aspect vs Soft-lite pro - Please help !!
The Endure and the Aspect have the same exact performace numbers which are pretty good. The Aspect is a nicer looking window with a more narrow frame allowing more glass. It also comes with some very nice locks which can be upgraded to duel tech locks. A lot of homeowners including some pro’s think ...
