Marvin Infinity vs Lindsay Pinnacle for MN Full Replacement
Comments (8)It gets very cold in MN. Like I said, I had the Marvin Integrity - which was fiberglass exterior/wood interior and really liked the casement version. The Marvin Infinity is fiberglass exterior and interior. I did not want wood interiors because I don't want to worry about painting/repainting or wood being exposed to or damaged by potential condensation. Both windows have the same argon gas and low E366 glass. I know the Lindsay is a good window, but I did like the look of the Marvin Infinity better, did not care for the look of the corner welds on the Lindsays vinyl. I feel that the increased strength of fiberglass over vinyl is worth the extra $4000. This is not a DIY project. The windows will be installed by a contractor that is an authorized installer of Lindsay and Marvin with 66 years in business....See MoreWhat brand vinyl replacement windows? Best window for the money?
Comments (19)vic, if you are unable to locate one of the brands that are universally well regarded by pros, my best recommendation would be to take a close look at performance ratings. You can look at window performance the same way you look at mileage and horsepower when buying a car. U factor and air leakage are two big ones... There is a little complexity when it comes SHGC and others as the optimum numbers can vary based on climate, but the these ratings are a great guide either way....See MoreBest Replacement Method for Bay Window
Comments (8)Is the existing bay a factory built unit, or something that was custom constructed in place, perhaps original to the home? Either way, you should be able to replace it while preserving the roof and skirt structure, however it will definitley require extra attention to the measuring and ordering of the unit as well as the installation obviously. Some companies won't touch it for that reason. The other option that you alluded to would be to simply replace the individual windows within the bay. The viability of that option depends on how it was built along with the integrity of the existing "box"....See MoreBest budget friendly replacement windows
Comments (9)Buy right...or buy twice. Pithy little saying that is mostly annoying...but even more so when you are replacing those "budget" replacement windows. Soft-Lite, Sunrise, Okna, and Polaris are all well regarded replacement windows in the vinyl sphere....See Moretoddinmn
