okna 500 or sunrise verde
Replacing all windows in my house. About 20 windows in all. Researching the Okna 500 series and Sunrise Verde Solar 12. They both seem very similar but not sure which one to get. Any suggestions?

Both are good companies.
How were each of them quoted to you?

I got quoted $12500 for both. The Verde comes with slider windows for the 3 bedrooms instead of double hung. Not sure how that would look.

Re: okna 500 or sunrise verde

In terms of how they were quoted, I was referring more specifically to glass package/window options? i.e. deluxe double pane vs. standard, grids, etc.
As a matter of design, I prefer double hungs over sliders because of their superior air infiltration performance and structure. Also, if someone is quoting you larger sliders in place of multiple double hungs (i.e. removing a post and putting one 2-Lite or 3-Lite slider where there were previously 2 or 3 double hungs), it should not be compared apples to apples. The double hung project is costing the contractor more money and will wind up given you the more air tight (assuming they are both skilled) and substantial installation.
Both are solid windows though as masterext mentioned.

I agree with WoW. Keeping double hungs is preferable, if it doesn't conflict with egress requirements in a bedroom.

Whatever is there should be grandfathered into compliance.Randy wrote:I agree with WoW. Keeping double hungs is preferable, if it doesn't conflict with egress requirements in a bedroom.
