View Full Version : Windows?


08-20-00, 10:54 AM
I recently purchased an older farm house in dire need of new windows. Is there anywhere I can find a comparison of several manufacturers windows? (quality, price, features) I have heard that Andersen is the best. There are approximately 10 windows 27"x72" and 10 windows 27"x61". I have an opportunity to purchase 10 new Philips 30.25"x62.31" vinyl, low e, double pane with Argon, for $500 total. Seems like a great deal, but I want quality windows as well. Do you have any suggestions?

Check with several glass shops and contractors who install replacement windows. Compare the warranties, especially those relating to the frames and the seals of the IG units. How long will they gaurantee them to not fog up? (moisture between the panes.)
