Here is a link that might be useful: a forum that discusses Shucco windows

i worked for Schuco for 3 years I have a lot experience with the window. As part of my product training I worked on the factory floor for 2 weeks. I worked directly for the President of the US compnay. The engineer sat right next to me all day. I also dealt with all of our dealers and helpled with product qwestions, pricing, shipping issues, sizes. etc.... I had Sschuco windows on ,my last home.

Thanks for the information. I just had an Anderson rep out today for a estimate They seem to be a nice window the U-factor wasn't that good though. The price seemed to be high. Quoted me $900 a window installed. The Schuco rep comes tomorrow I will keep you updated.

there are some knowledgeable people on that site. i also have been posting on that site recently. if you have any questions feel free to post here as well. i'll help as much as possible

The Schuco Rep just left. I have to say I'm really impressed with the construction of the window and insulated glass. He demonstrated the Schuco 4000 triple pane window. His price was $550.00 a window installed much better then $900 I was quoted by the Anderson Rep. I think I'm going with the Schuco it has a much better U-Factor then the Anderson Renewel. Schuco U-Factor was .22 and the Anderson was .32 I also like the Schuco's welds on the corners of the frame and sash. Its seems they make a groove so that they look clean. What gets me is the price difference between the Schuco and the Anderson. The Schuco has a better rating then the Anderson and seems to have a better look. Am I missing something????

The only thing you are missing is the additional cost you would pay for Andersens advertising and name recognition. The 2 windows aren't even in the same class. Schuco is quite clearly the better window. I must say the price you got on the Schucos is very, very good. I'd get my order in before they change their minds.

Skydawggy thanks that what I thought. I called the Schuco Rep and told him it was a go. I also thought it was a good price for the Schuco Triple Pane. Hopefully it will be much warmer this winter in my house. Here in Northeastern PA it gets pretty cold...

Kliner,

One little bit of advice. Make sure your contract on the Schucos very clearly specify the glass package you are getting. Don't just accept "triple pane glass." Make them right down Cardinal XXX with .22 U factor

I have heard of several incidences lately where the customer was promised one glass package and got something else. Not a bad reflection on Schuco, they only make what's ordered. Just make double sure your dealer orders the right glass.

Thanks Skydawggy I called the Schuco rep and told him about the glass. He said they ordered the 406 glass package which is 2 coats of Low E and Krypton which gives you a U-Factor of .22 I will keep everybody informed about the installation. They told me Schuco takes around 5 to 6 weeks for delivery.

Did you get that in writing? If not, I would strongly urge you to have him send a written clarification stating this is what you are getting.

Yes I told them to write the Glass package on the contract with the U-Factor...

kliner,

I am also in NEPA and did a lot of research which lead me to Schuco windows. I am building a new home and want a very good high quality window. I am waiting on a quote from Pella on their designer series but have read so many bad things about product quality that made me really wonder. Did you use United Window out of Clarks Summit as the rep? Can you please provide me with a contact as I did submit on the Schuco site requesting additional info. I would like to get a quote from them on my windows. Any info is much appreciated.

NEPA I did go with United Window Co. There phone number is:
800-663-2131
www.UnitedWindowCo.com

Unlike the Anderson rep he came and measured the windows and gave me a price. I didn't have to sit for a 3 hr presentation. Make sure you ask for Bill he was my rep..
If you need more information let me know.
Kliner..

kliner,

I called and spoke with Bill. They are at the Bloomsburg fair right now. I sent him my measurements and am waiting on pricing to come back. My windows will be mainly casement. Please keep us posted on how things progress with you. I would be interetsed in hearing of your experience and your satisfaction with Schuco. I will also do the same.

Thanks again

Your choice of the Schuco window is fabulous. I've been one of the Pro's on the forum posted above and it's sister board for a long time. The Schuco window has been window of the year many times over. It's German design has established a new look with great ratings in our industry. The window is manufactured with high standards in design, functionality and performance. The inline slider they have is a marvel of the industry.

Schuco has the lowest U-value in the industry due in part to their exclusive TPS (Thermo Plastic Spacer) seamless spacer system and 99.9% Krypton filling system. It's a warm edge IG sealing system, which is exclusive to Schuco.

I also agree with Skydawggy on your pricing. At $550 a hole your getting the best window in the industry at half the price it's going for around the nation. But keep in mind the window is only as good as the installer. We preach this to everyone across the land. It's hard to know if they're done properly for the standard consumer. Just make sure everything is to your satisfaction before making that final payment.

"Schuco has the lowest U-value in the industry "

Errrrr....naw, maybe in another thread at another time or site. Heh, heh

Okay guys (sorry, no pun intended!! seriously!!), we don't want to carry that discussion into this forum! LOL

I would argue that the U-.16 and .21 windows that I put in my daughter's home have some reasonably good numbers as well!

And as Guy said, ANY window is only as good as the installation!!!!

Still kick-butt busy, Guy?

I got plenty advice for you BUY SOMETHING ELSE. its been 10 months since i started to get schuco to fix my 6 year old windows. Frames have warped ans seals have failed. The only service i get is lip service. mr proskey has promised everything will be taken care of and then back peddeled. Its always ive been trying to call and i left a message. If his phone # does not show up on caller ID how can he have left a message. It goes on like this. Do yourself a favor buy else where.

I loved the Schuco's when I evaluated them last spring, but I couldn't make up my mind, or come up with the money! But they're still on the list...

My question is, aesthetically, how do they look? I noticed that they have a pretty "thick" look to them (I saw a simonton window that had minimal vinyl, more glass). My concern is that I have a 100 yr old house, with waterviews, and I want to make sure I'm not decreasing my view with the window.

Any feedback?

Its now been 11 months and all i am getting is stall tactics from schuco. Still no sign of anything happening. I paid almost $9,000 for 8 windows only because i felt they were a better window. They only lasted 6 years.

anybody heard of zola windows? i am still trying to figure out how to start a forum post here on houzz😅😂

Quality product from what I know if them.
