Question about Crystal Windows Achi-Tech Series

[cosmo10]

All,

I've looking to replace 18 windows, and I have gotten a quote on windows from a company called Crystal Windows and Doors. The specific series is called Arch-Tech, series 600. The price seemed to be in line with other "mid-level" windows, but I cannot find any independent reviews of these windows on any website. If anyone has any experience, or even an educated opinion about these windows, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Cosmo

crystal windows is based out of queens NY; they are a low grade window. are you located in NY, is that why you are asking about them? THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS I WOULD CHOOSE OVER CRYSTAL.

Zago,

I replied the the thread in more detail in the "vinyl windows forum", but if you can elaborate just a bit as to what other companies you consider to be better (in the 600-700 dollar range per window) then Crystal, also a brief explanation to why Crystal isn't a good window.

Just trying to make the best decision within my range of affordability,

Thank you,
Cosmo
