Excellent information on window frame options and door options but very light on glass options. Given glass door & window is >90% of surface area, in most cases, seems like glass options would have been higher priority. I would also suggest these guys lack knowledge of high elevation glass options, not surprising given their Ventura location. We live and build at elevation, lowest is 6200’ asl Lake Tahoe. We use sealed igu’s w/inert gas, they however are filled at elevation and transported to job site at elevation. Of course this is not an option w/the 4 brands discussed but we also spec .15 or better U-value window and door assemblies which none of these companies approach. The video of the contemporary home and its custom doors was worth the watch👍

Here at Windowlux we fabricate both! Depending of the size and type of opening you want...you can select your best option. At my house, your house, I went all uPVC (european) with big triple glaze glass at bedroom areas. And Cortizo minimal thermally broken aluminum sliding doors at social areas. I'll probably install the small windows at the service area in vinyl (we actually call them the american PVC)

Window weatherstripping breaks down and is rarely, if ever, available. Look at your warranties. The window may be a 40-50 year window but the weatherstripping is warrantied for 10-15 years. Manufacturers have a vested interest in keeping replacement weatherstripping out of your hands.

How much thicker is vinyl vs aluminum windows? I currently have a 72" W X 60" H aluminum frame Anderson casement window. It has 3 windows. The center window is fixed and the 2 end windows crank out. We are looking to replace it with a vinyl double hung with the same design. The 2 end windows will open and the center will be fixed. The actual glass is 19.5" on each pane. How much of that glass width would be lost going with a vinyl window due to the vinyl frame being thicker?

Truth/Amesbury has been a leading supplier of quality casement hardware to the window industry for many years. One other thing I grade a brand of window on is their warranty/policies against glass/IGU failure. Andersen offers lifetime or 20 warranty replacement on failed foggy insulated glass. Nothing is more annoying than a home loaded with windows you can no longer see through.

Hey Matt - your black eye is perfect timing for my question! I’m in AZ, so, that full retractable hidden screen is pretty nifty. The “several thousand dollar” price tag gives me pause BECAUSE my current slider door screen has been DECIMATED by - yep - 4 month old puppies (mine and others) running smack into it at full speed over the years! Do any of these companies make reinforced screens - or does this just boil down to constant owner awareness/responsibility? (I’m pretty sure I know how you’re going to respond, but I thought I’d ask anyway! Btw - a couple of people have also done the same thing as the dogs, so it’s probably more common then reported..?) Thanks!

Several thousand dollars for a screen door is ridiculous, outrageous, and meant for people where money is not a concern. The fact is that there are options out there that work just as well to keep the bugs out, but they don't tuck/hide away quite as neatly as the screen door that costs $4-5k. Still, wasting money is not justifiable.

Marvin certainly isn’t cheap, probably 10% extra across their lines compared to Andersen or Pella. Delivery times for their mid range windows is 6-8 weeks and 6 MONTHS for their top of the line windows Cheap windows will cost you more in the long run, put the money into the things that keep the elements out and protect the structure of the house. Replacing cheap windows or dealing with rot isn’t going to be cheap down the road

One category I want to know more about are impact windows, the sort of thing you'd install in hurricane or tornado prone areas, and how these might relate to one of these newer high performance houses. The area I've always wanted to build a house in, this would be of concern. I already have decided I want some kind of insulated concrete construction. Was leaning towards ICF, but I see this other insulated concrete block that might make a simpler thing to put together, but that takes care of walls, but not windows and doors.

Very timely topic - my 22y/o, 6600 sqft home has 40 windows, of 10 different sizes, due for replacement. Having the usual suspects in, to up-sell and give estimates (Pella, Andersen, Jeld-Wen, local mfgs, etc)… it’s incredibly annoying, as these various mfgs seemingly use their own boutique terms and measures, so I ended up with a big ‘ole Excel file full of more normalized and harmonious data, hopefully leading to some insightful data and observations. We are a “value for money” buyer, as we are relocating, out of state, by June 2022. This should be interesting lol

Even though "home depot" home stores here, you'll pay 8 to 10k. Unless you have no side windows or such, then it's a bit less. Ending up getting one from Poland for 7K. Same door was 14k in Germany.

@@pablo4youtube Have you any personal experience w/Alpen? We did one house w/them, never again. Delays, promises, more delays. Not good quality, had damaged igu’s. They’re in my backyard and I would never consider them again. Zola is the best window we found in US. Schuco are also very good quality but their u-values can’t touch Zola. Of course these are both considerably more $$ but in this case, you get what you pay for. If you’re a builder or homeowner considering Alpen, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere

My experience with vinyl or aluminum wood clad windows is not good. The exterior seal between the cladding and wood fails and for follows.

Not sure that it even matters with regards to the seal. There is still air in there. Metal will heat much faster, which makes a temperature differential causing condensation between the layers. Over time, it will rot. Use a single material. Just order some European style vinyl windows. They are not that expensive, seal way better and will last you long enough that by the time they need to be replaced there are probably force fields or something instead of glass.

The lift and slide looked like a 20ft opening with a 10 ft operable door panel… so I am wondering if when he says a 10 ft door is $20k, is he talking about a 10ft operable door panel + 10ft fixed panel inside a 20ft opening - OR - a 5 ft operable door panel + 5ft fixed panel inside a 10ft opening?
