Re: Integrity installation question

I think a half an inch is fine, as long as it is smaller not larger.

Re: Alside - Excalibur or Sheffield? Or Power Windows

You should look at Simonton, Soft-lite, or OKNA.
My personal choice and we get rave reveiws from our customers is the Soft-lite Imperial LS.
You can go to soft-lite.com and use the dealer locator function.

Re: Pricing and product comparo. Just want some opinions

I do more wood than vinyl.
But the vinyl, best products, will out perform the wood, both in life cycle(lifetime) and thermally.

The Soft-lite and family business win based on price, thermal performance, and probably best install.

Re: Proper Installation of Vinyl double hung replacement window.

If the coil is run up under the window then the sill adaptor applied then caulked, it wont matter much if the caulk fails.

Re: Simonton 9800, Alside Sheffield, Others? Cost?

Simoton factory spec for windows over 63" is 3 jamb adjusters per side. Just went through this problem with 2 of my Simonton jobs.
Don't have that problem with Imperial LS.

Designer is a totally differnt glazing system , three panes of glass, options of grids and blinds or shades between the glass.

Yep, Pella, but the design sucks on Designer series, it is ok on Architect series.
