Hurd Windows or Anderson- I need to decide by tomorrow
Comments (17)I checked the sizes again and the next width up is 1 1/8" so it would be 1/4" larger. The 1 1/8" has a bolder appearance after the screens are put on the windows so I think that is why I like it. Most window show rooms only show the 7/8 or 5/8 on windows and the 1 1/8 on doors. So I drove around today and found a few houses. window from outside The top two photos are 1 1/8" wide grills. I like these but these are on bigger houses then mine, although window sizes are close. And show best with top sash only grills. House that has original 5/8 on left and 1 1/8" on right two windows 7/8" grill top and bottom I think this one looks too small and spaces are too long and narrow. I will have some 4 across if I leave them 7/8 that's why I am wondering if I should go up to the 1 1/8" and make them 3 across. Opinions please, I am down to the wire....See MoreAny new reviews on Hurd Casements? (X Post to Windows Forum)
Comments (3)Thanks for the feedback bdpeck....I've seen a couple of positive comments, but there seem to be a lot of unhappy folks out there too. I don't think I'm willing to take that chance....See MoreInsect screens - Hurd windows
Comments (1)Far as I know the standard is an aluminum frames with charcoal fiberglass wire. Which is a standard one bay screen frame, the only other option they may offer is a wood framed one bay screen or perhaps a different type wire or fiberglass mesh....See MoreNew Windows - Hurd and Marvin Quotes
Comments (14)This is regarding HURD DOUBLE HUNG Windowsâ¦My husband and I are building a retirement home and our local lumber yard recommended HURD. They said they sold their casement windows and their customers loved them. They looked beautiful and the glass looked great⦠I looked them up on the internet and looked at their example in the store. I decided it looked comparable to an upper grade window. We purchased the double hung and had them installed. First thing that happened my contractor said they were so flimsy when they installed them it took twice as long to install to get them straight. Next thing we noticed was the screens didnâÂÂt fit and were so flimsy if you just touched them they would fall out! Next we noticed the mechanisms. Two of mechanisms broke when we tried to open the window. Very cheap! ThereâÂÂs ONLY ONE seal to protect you from the outside. The seal is made of some fuzz with a piece of rubber in it! You can literally put a card, knife etc, thru itâ¦These windows reminds you of a MOBILE HOME window! We called our local lumber yard and they contacted the distributor â¦he came out and you could tell he didnâÂÂt care and did not want to be there. He was VERY rude and said they were all jacked! My contractor was there and measured them and proved they were not! We got in an argument and he left! The so called HURD rep couldnâÂÂt show up for another week! LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! When he finally showed up he wouldnâÂÂt even talk to me he said he was there to fix the windows!! ThatâÂÂs not why I called himâ¦he didnâÂÂt care! They got their money and thatâÂÂs all they care aboutâ¦I told him his company misrepresented us about by showing examples on the internet and in the store that wasnâÂÂt there window!!! He didnâÂÂt say a word to me! VERY RUDE!!!! I told them I did not want these windows and he kept on fixing them instead of talking to me and left!! I have built 3 homes and remodeled 6 homes in my life time! I have NEVER had such BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! These are lousy windows for the money! They misrepresent their product! CHEAP MECHANISMS AND SEALS. If I had the money I would sue themâ¦IF I FIND A WAY I WILLâ¦I would say they are worst than 3rd grade windows but they are charging for 1st grade windows! STAY CLEAR AWAY FROM HURD!! Very expensive for the cheap windows!...See MoreWindows on Washington
