Question

Window Brand Suggestions


I've been asked to install replacement windows. The lady wants the awning style of tilt out window. Is one brand better than others? The important point is that the crank out must be reliable and low effort (just turned 60 years). Also, preferences include tinted glass (sunny south) and really big: 52" wide by 68" tall. Also wood inside, vinyl/aluminum outside.

Marvin. No doubt about it.

Ask them about the motorized units. That old lady should spend a couple bucks and never have to turn a crank to open that window ever again.

Marvin with motors? Marvin it is. The local dealer is one of my favorite supply houses anyway.
