Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

WOW,
I agree about the discount but most companies hire salesman and they want to maximize their profits. the company can be very good and back up all their work so bailing just because a salesman does the discount may be a bit unfair but i see your point.

yes,a bit misguided on the car analogy. a ford will get you from point A to point B reliably but will not start to leak air after a few years. a car is not made of pvc. cheaper windows use a lower grade pvc and are not designed as well meaning after being exposed to various weather conditions and ge...

a value upgrade? its either quality or its not and quality obviously comes at a higher price and rightly so. what many suggest when a customer has a budget is do your windows in stages rather than buy something percieved to be mediocre.

I'd have to see the window and play around with it but i like the way it s...

seems very good to me. Elements is a great window,enjoy.

i give you credit for admitting you made a mistake. most consumers go with the cheaper price and then when the windows leak air they want to blame everyone but themselves. window world is a lower quality window and with windows,when its cheap, its made cheap. no window company can have such an edge ...

this wa s a typical sheet rock return install. very common in condo's and town homes.

Okna will have the better performance numbers. the 800 okna is nicer than a gorell or sunrise in my opinion. i am not a big fan of the sill sunrise uses. that said,all three are solid products.

yeah,but stanek stll uses a pocket sill which you have not addressed as of yet.
