Pella Designer Series Competitors???


Hey guys, Im bidding a job w/ pella designer series clad doors

1- 3/0 12 lite w/ grilles and shades between glass
1- 6/0-6/8 french door, same specs
and
2- 6/0-6/8 Sliding Doors same design as above.

Is there any brand out there that compares in quality but maybe not the 11,500$ price tag?

The French door is only 300$ more than the 3/0 door. What gives???

There are numerous window companies that make vinyl windows and doors with between-glass blinds, but you're asking about a wood/clad product. There are also steel doors with between-glass blinds, but again not the same material as what you're looking at. Eagle makes wood/clad products with between-glass blinds, but not in all sizes, and their blinds are pretty crummy compared to what you're currently looking at. I don't know of a comparable brand.
