Re: Recent window install

This method is common, execution is key. Some pictures would help to evaluate it further.
What brand and model of window did they use?
The gap should have been foamed in.

Re: Provia Endure vs Okna (400/600) Long Island, NY

Ask them the same question you are asking yourself. Why you promoting Pro-Via on the others and Okna on the bay? I stick to the brand I sell and don’t mix the products .

Re: Okna vs Wincore vs Provia for small rental
