Jeld Wen Siteline EX, Lincoln or Sierra Pacific double pane?
Comments (19)I also need advice on this topic. There's mixed reviews everywhere on windows. We are building a new home in western North Carolina and looking at Sierra Pacific double hung, Jeld Wen 2500 double hung and Marvin Integrity all Ultrex (fiberglass) single hung. The Sierra Pacific and JeldWens are aluminum clad wood and seem to be similarly priced. The Marvins are all fiberglass and much less expensive. We want white interiors, so having stain grade wood is not an issue. We also have a bank of four 4'x8' (two sliders/two fixed) , so we are need these to be well-constructed. Any concerns with the Marvin Integrity's? Are there construction or oxidation issues with the fiberglass. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks....See MorePella Proline vs. Jeld Wen Siteline EX
Comments (37)I'd be interested if the quotes for the windows are from window dealers that are installing them. Those companies charge crazy prices for installation, and the homeowner has no clue as to the competency of the installation crew. IMO, the only way to go is to have a trusted finish carpenter measure and install windows and the contractor will be buying the windows from a builders supply company at a significant discount to what an average homeowner will pay for the same window. The most important aspect of the whole process is the quality of the installation. Lousy windows installed by a conscientious pro will last longer than top dollar windows installed by a schmuck. Any work done on a house that will come in contact with water had better done by the book or you'll be in a world of misery....See MoreAndersen "A" series vs Jeld-Wen Siteline Ex
Comments (10)Fiberglass is much better if you purchase a quality product like Integrity by Marvin, Fibertech or Inline when compared to anything Jeldwen. I personally am not sold on Fibrex in part due to the fact that it is made from "40% reclaimed" material. A premium quality Extruded Aluminum Clad window like Marvin Ultimates or Kolbe in my opinion are marginally better than the above listed fiberglass units. i personally do not like anything by Jeldwen....See MoreThinking about installing Jeld-Wen Premium Vinyl Windows...
Comments (116)Grande - I'm not promoting Pella at all I'm just offering my opinion as someone who has used them and from contractors I've spoken to. To say they are garbage is contrary to what I have experienced and heard, of course there are better windows and there are also personal preferences involved. However I would bet that you are a window salesman and your comments should have that disclosure so people can understand what your motive is. Comparing JW to Pella is laughable...just look at the comments on this thread. I also steer clear of anyone stating something as fact...with no eveidence to support their "facts". "Anyone in windows knows this, it's a fact" is a very adolescent type comment. If you don't like Pella fine, you're entitled to your opinion, but try to state reasons other than obscure comments packed with innuendos. I am not saying Pella are the best windows, I'm saying they are decent and in my opinion I would use them over JW just from a support perspective. I don't know the other windows you suggested but I did say there are many local manufacturers that offer good alternatives...perhaps those are but I personally don't know....See Morenvestysly
