The old Pozzi product had lots of problems. That is what got them in financial trouble in the early 90's. They were bought by JELD-WEN and they have made an impressive turn on product line. They are high end wood window. I like them a lot. They have a ton of options and have one of the best, if not ...

Interesting thread. I like all types of windows. I like the knowledge and technology behind the manufacturing the most. That is where my expertise is. So, my opinions are based a lot on the company who manufactures the windows, and the market they are going after. Not everyone drive the same car. It...

They are both good windows. They both have upgraded glass spacers and are made in Northern California. I would say, go with the one you like the looks of best. Either one is a good choice. I personally do not think very highly of the manufacturing plant in california, but this year they have been do...

Randy is correct. We will most likely see the largest volume at first in the South. That is where the largest volume of 140 is also. The heat from the sun is intense. Man, the sun is hot! :shock: But again, this will become the new standard boys, so get ready. The price will fall and it will be some...

http://www.cardinalcorp.com/products_coated_366/366.htm This is Cardinal glass' new low-e. I bet a few more years and it will be standard because PPG, Gaurdian, and AFG will try to match it. I do not think it is worth the money. People a few years ago used to say the same thing about the low-e squar...

I hate to steal W.C.guys thunder but Some companies will manufature a storm windows with Low-e (SugerCreek for 1) They use pyrolitic Hard coat low-e on the side facing into the home. Don't let the term Hard coat fool you, the stuff is a pain in butt it will scratch up if not treated with care. How ...

I would lean toward the Milgard out of the three choices. I am very familiar with the Simonton and the Milgard in the Vacaville area. Who are the Milgard and SImonton dealers you are looking at right now? That could be the make or break for you on the installation and price. Comfort Design is a smal...

Looking at the original post, I would reply that the warranty is only as good as the company. I have dealt with companies that always try to get out of warranty claims and others who bend over backward to make the end customer happy. That can vary plant to plant with some of the large companies. (Mi...

Interesting, I have been hearing people say that the they have low E on 4 surfaces instaled of 1 or two. Are these triple pane windows? Another question for a West Coast guy, how are storm windows with Low E made? Are they dual pane? Is the Low E exposed if it is a single pane? I have a grandmother ...

If you purchased the windows at 84 lumber and are on the east or west coast, the are most likely Jeld-Wen windows. I looked online and they do not give their specifice reasons, but I do know that almost every manufacturer states the same thing about transportation of windows. The trampoline was the ...

I have used Gore in the past with good success. They carry many lines and are great installers. Also, look at Burnett and Sons. They are on the North side of Sacramento. They did a lot of work for the State capital a few years back and have been around for almost 140 years. Great showroom as well. I...
