Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

This is being built for OC by Armaclad I saw the fiberglass casement window at the remodelers show last fall.

Dazed:

Try Simonton's Dealer locator http://www.simonton.com/TopMenu/Locator/

I entered a zip code of 80012 and I came up with several distributors in the Denver area; I would be very surprised if none of them had additional samples.

Good Luck

I doubt he was looking at the Prism Platinum that would be the equivalent to the Reflections 5500. I don’t think anyone would view that window as being cheap looking or feel the Sheffield was superior in design or appearance. The 5500 beats the Sheffield hands down. I have a feeling he was looking a...

I sell the 5050, 5500 & 9800 that all have glass packages that qualify for the energy tax credit. I checked the order entry system and to my surprise there is not a qualifying glass package for the 5300. I assume they feel they have enough windows that qualify and can not justify the cost of tes...

Here they are; again they should enlarge when you click it.

Simonton just launched for the 5500 Series new hardware options and new laminate wood grains. Along with the new wood grains white is now available on the inside of the Driftwood and Tan Colors. This is an excellent addition because we had many people who liked these colors on the outside but they d...

We have not seen any quality issues since Fortune Brands purchased Simonton and the statement “running the company into the ground” is nonsense if anything I am very excited about what is in the pipeline for the future. You hit the nail on the head Sky; the large distributor in NY who will remain na...

Simonton Lists their air infiltration data in a form that is difficult to understand. For one they are posting the numbers on huge double hung windows in sizes that no one has in their home with various different design pressure ratings some with solid sill plugs and some with slotted sill plugs. Yo...

Simonton is the only window we have offered for the last ten years and with very rare exception we only receive positive feed back regarding the performance of the windows, even the lower end 5050 series. We are located in what is considered the beginning of north Jersey so we do get the cold weathe...

Simonton products on the West Coast are sold directly through dealers on the East coast they are sold primarily through distributors.

Your width is OK for the 9800 double hung but the minimum height is 24 1/2"

I’m in New Jersey and familiar with Ideal. I would go with Great Lakes over Ideal; there never as been anything special coming from Ideal.

I would focus on the bottom line cost that you are ultimately paying and not focus on the material and labor split.

He’s asking about the casement frame WOW

The main frame on the casement is ¾” wide on the outside where the sash closes into it. The sash will hit when you crank it open.

Will It can be done with the 9800 slider by selecting the Sensor Glass package and then adding laminate. U factor of .29 59 1/2" (T) X 59 1/2" (T) 9800 Impressions White Slider (XO); Tip-to-Tip; BOX; Colonial All White Sculptured (1V4H); 1'' IGU Thickness; Sensor Glass - LowE Softcoat; Sup...

You need to go with Super Sensor Plus 366 to get it to .30 This glass system is a 1" IG w/ Super Spacer & laminate on the inside. The way you had it was a 3/4" IG and the grids were killing the u factor 59 1/2" (T) X 59 1/2" (T) 9800 Impressions White Slider (XO); Tip-to-Tip;...
