If the date is less than 20 years, they are under warranty and you need to contact Andersen and tell them what you are seeing.. If the date is longer than 20 years then they are out of warranty, but if the frames are good you might be able to replace just the IGU and not the entire window if you so choose. Seeing multiple unit seal failure, even on windows much older than 25 years, is extremely rare for the IG system used in the Andersen windows.

Ask your Sierra Pacific rep, "Better how?" All manufacturers are going to have slight differences in their vinyl formulas but as long as you're selecting a premium vinyl, which both Windsor and Sierra Pacific have, you're getting good vinyl material. Really think about what is important to you and get those points checked off, when it's all said and done you are the one that is going to have to live with them.

Do you have any feedback on wincore 8800 windows. Looks like they use the cardinal stormbreaker glass.

I'm not familiar with the Wincore windstorm product. I've only had experience with their non windstorm products. The owner of Simonton Windows started this company after he sold Simonton Windows about 15 years ago. I've met him personally and I think he makes a great product. The only reason I don't like it is because of how wide the profile is which is going to be unavoidable when you're talkin about impact rated windows.

Do any of your vinyl lines have metal reinforced frames? I’m looking for a very hot desert environment and I heard vinyl expands too much in extreme heat. Do you think fiberglass would be better? And how about black frames in the desert? Thanks.

@HoustonWindowExperts 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching and your question. Vinyl is going to have a harder time in a hotter climate. Some brands of vinyl were specifically built for desert climates and have additional ingredients in their composition for that purpose. My favorite vinyl for the dessert is the Amsco Retoration series. It also has metal reinforcement and uses a capstock material instead of paint. (So you can have a black window). Fiberglass is also great, but don't confuse that with Fibrex. Fibrex is not fiberglass.

I'm impressed that they use Cardinal Glass, especially given that you say it's 90-95% of the window. Any experience with them? We're able to get a better deal on them then some other high end windows, but want to make sure we're in safe territory. Thanks!

Thank you for watching and your question. I don't know anything about this window company but I did go to their website and saw their windows. It appears to be a standard vinyl product with a thicker profile than I care for. It may be a great product but it's definitely very chunky. If that's okay with you, it looks like it might be worth moving forward with. Remember, more important than what window you buy, is who installs it. Make sure you're completely comfortable with the company you're buying the window from, and you should be safe.

@HoustonWindowExperts 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching and for your question. The problem with going with a black vinyl window that is also black on the interior, is it the price is so high that you might as well consider going to an extruded aluminum product at that point. For about the cost of a black on black vinyl window, you could go ahead and consider buying an NT aluminum window, a Don Young aluminum window, or the Pella and Impervia fiberglass window. I would look into those options as well.

@kchichak8638 3 жыл бұрын

Jeff, The Pella 350 series is designed to accept dual or triple pane glass, hence the thicker sash. AND removing the stops does not permit the glass to fall out rendering the window insecure, you still need to release the glass from the epoxy bond to the interior inside face of the the IG seat. That was misleading and I bring it up because its the same on the 250 series. I would advise you edit your report as the majority is very informative but should be truthful. AND 2 year labour is included in the warranty.

Coze is the name they gave to the Cardinal glass. Andersen calls it Low-e 4. (Low-e triple coat PLUS Argon = 4). Almost every manufacturer will give it their own proprietary came. The reason they do that is so that when you go to Google search for that proprietary name you keep running into their website instead of another company's website. However, the glass is still made by Cardinal Glass in most cases.

Do you have any thoughts on the Alside Mezzo window vs Pella 250? I am currently window shopping and the 2 companies that came out were offering these windows. Any guidance is appreciated.

@HoustonWindowExperts 6 ай бұрын

The Pella 250 it's the better of the two in my opinion. Of course, the installation is the most important part! Make sure you've got that handled. If you need someone, let me know, please.

@HoustonWindowExperts 2 жыл бұрын

I have heard a lot of good things about them. The latest thing I heard, was that they got bought out by another company. I could have heard wrong. If they did get bought out, it would be important for you to find out who bought them and what their reviews look like. Sometimes a terrible company buys a great one and ruins it.

Hi, thanks for your question. They have three vinyl product lines under the heading of next dimension vinyl. Their top product is called "Classic". It's not any better than the others but it has more options when it comes to colors, grid patterns, and operational choices.

Do you know anything about Alliance Hawthorne series vs Anderson 200 vs Simonton Impression series. And we want a wood grain laminate if we go with vinyls to match the stained frames we have in the house. Will the laminate curl or wear or tear as we have two dogs too.

@HoustonWindowExperts 3 жыл бұрын

I am not familiar with alliance at all. I do believe that the Anderson 200 would be the best product of the three you mentioned. It is made out of real wood. I used to sell the simonton products that had the simulated wood grain interior but found him to be very fake looking and easily damaged. Having a couple of dogs May make things worse for the durability of that window. Thank you for watching!

@@HoustonWindowExperts thanks for the quick reply honestly I wish u were in Michigan. I’m leaning towards the Anderson’s personally might be work to stain them but I want a good window as we never plan on moving from this house we’re in. The original windows are still in the house built 86 era and their all wood and the outside has been painted and they’ve taken a beating. So rather than have them repainted I just wanna get em replaced, and I’m only talking about the backside of the house 13 windows and a new patio door, now it’s a French and I want a slider and got quoted for an Anderson 400 series door too. I don’t want white vinyl in the inside as all the trim is stained so I want it to match.

@dml510 3 жыл бұрын

And Anderson’s being he price they are we may only do now like 8 that are pretty beat up plus the door just for cost measures. Idk if that’s something you’d recommend but I get everyone’s finances are different.

I know that OKNA is a good product. However, any company that only has one product line must be very narrow and their scope. If you're doing a great job for many different clients, you're going to need more than one product in your Arsenal.
