I've been having luck with tempco windows, my supplier has been trying to get me to try these alliance windows, I bid a few but haven't herd back on em yet

 

Possibly the best service we can render a client regarding their choices / decisions with window selection is to steer them as far as possible from choosing casement windows. Every "name" brand without exception, of casements is prone to sash fatigue,some sooner,some later,it is a matter of when not if.


When sash fatigue occurs,the only remedy is to replace the window.The three durable not disposable brands I mentioned are well aware of the nuances of sash fatigue;designing,building and warrantying their windows against that common short coming is something they build into their products.

If a consumer is unfortunate enough to choose a casement by one of the disposable manufactures they have set themselves up for a constant and continuous cycle of window replacement. Only exception.....if they never or rarely open their windows.

 

Only exception.....if they never or rarely open their windows.

Put me in that category. The only casement windows in my new house are in front of the kitchen sink. The rest are DH. If any of them get opened more than once a year I will be surprised. Panasonic fans in the bathrooms and an HRV for air quality.

 

If you are starting a replacement window showroom, I recommend -http://www.windowchoice.ca/window-tips/why-vinyl-windows-are-simply-better- go with vinyl replacement windows[/URL] not wooden or aluminium. Wooden windows are way behind in durability, maintenance and energy efficiency while aluminium windows can be durable, it can hurt energy efficiency and also both wooden and aluminium windows are expensive compared to vinyl windows. They are more durable, less expensive, less maintenance and better energy efficient. It’s popularity is increasing day by day. There are several companies producing vinyl windows. Having a little research in the market will help.

BOOOO SPAMMER

 

Marvin, Marvin E series (formerly Eagle) and Marvin Integrity primarily.

 

Not to disagree, but E series is actually Andersen rather than Marvin.

 

Has anyone tried the new Pella 250 series vinyl replacement?
I Had priced out a 30 x 53 1/2 double hung at $208.15, but didn't make the sale.

 

Just installed 11 of them and the homeowner looked at the 250 and 350 series. They good, not the best window out there, but definitely not the worst either...good value for most homies. I had them ordered with built in j channel to ease my pain when siding the place and overall I'd recommend them as a budget conscious window.

 

I've been buying mine from Northeast Building Supply. They make the Windows there. There about $190 for 105 UIs. Nice window, very heavy, lifetime warranty. I like them.

I hate the 2week lead time.

 

you want to know about windows that man ^^^knows about windows

 

Put my vote for sunrise. I have Kaskel in my house though no complaints i sell truck loads of them

 

I've been installing the Sunrise lines for about a decade now and I really wish that their engineers would have put a little more thought into not just maximizing viewable glass with insert windows, but into a stronger vinyl extrusion that didn't always have frowned sills. Their frames vary from .060" to .080" depending upon where you take readings.

It's about the most expensive vinyl product out there too which was fine with me until they brought in a bunch a new people and cut out of their dealer promotions. The QC last fall was terrible and lead times aren't as good as in the past.

 

I'm not a fan of Jeld wen. Idk if my experience came with their super low end windows, but they seem like junk compare to Milgard, or even Cascade.

 

Pella is a good brand. I don’t install them but being around the trade for 30 years. Pella is one of the better ones.
