Subject: RE: Windows in new home


YOU have to do the looking.Glitzy ads and over hype in windows happens all day long.

I put Gerkin windows vinyl double pane single hung replacement windows 20 years ago and happy as heck with them. Good quality with low advertize..NO leaks or bad panes

Gerkins are made in Sioux City Iowa. Tour a few plants and see differences

Windows I would NEVER buy under any circumstance,,,,casement anything,no roll outs,,no Pella,Marvin or Andersons for those above reasons

There was a thread on a DIY site a few years ago where some window rep analysed most all kins and didnt sell any of them. That person I would listen too with both ears. Had some named brands on there I didnt recognize,,,see above notes again

Research also about HOW windows are best installed. Metal flashed and couter flashed or it WILL leak in 10-15 years,,,rotted wood all around it.

I would never buy wood windows ever.

Roll out casements are a hardware nightmare 20 years down the road.
