Simonton 5500 vs Andersen 100
Comments (6)Thank you for the responses. From my research I understand the 5500 would be more in my price range than the higher offerings by okna, himark, sunrise and softlite, Yet it seems to be a reputable company and solid window. Here's the price breakdown, without installation: Simonton DH 5500, standard 1 unit 28x46 $300 1 unit 28x40 $285 5 units 28x53 $300 each 1 unit 28x53 tempered glass $300 2 units 34x50 $320 each I'm in the Cleveland Ohio area. Do these prices seem competitive/fair?...See MoreSimonton daylight max vs Andersen 100 series vs Pella 350

Comments (11)Thanks for pointing out I wasn't clear on which Andersen line. It was the 100 series windows (I updated the post to clarify- thank you). I saw a sample on the floor of a window store where the sample was probably around 36"w X 48" tall. The frame didn't stand out as large. Unfortunately, most of my windows are narrower but the frame size is always 3". For example, I have 2 casements with a transom above (3 windows mulled together) where each casement in the pair is 24"w X 42"h - so the middle of this complete window is 6" of frame and the sides are 3". of frame.. that left only 18" of glass showing on each side with this 6" glob down the middle. Similarly, the transom across the top of the 2 casements is 48"w X 18"h and fully 1/3 of the window (6" of the 18" height) is frame - only 12" glass....See MoreSimonton ProFinish Contractor vs. Andersen 100
Comments (12)Alexsis, seriously? What about your shower waterproofing, HVAC system, vapor barrier - every single thing in your house has to be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. Otherwise the warranty is void, at a minimum. If you're really unlucky your home insurance could be called into question. Be upset with your contractor, not Andersen....See MoreWindows on Washington Ltd
