Windsor Windows-Anyone use these-Pro's Con's?
Comments (3)We got them and while the windows are ok (only one had to be replaced for having faulty coating), the sliding glass doors came in warped, and again, and again and AGAIN. Supposedly they were checked at the factory the last two times, but I climbed in the truck the third time and once I put a straight edge on one, I told them not to even unload them. It took about 8 months to get them passable- our distributer kept passing the buck and was terrible....See MorePella or Windsor windows?
Comments (13)Liesl123 - that is what Pella always says - that it's never their product's issue, it's the installation. That excuse works on occasion, except that the Pella problems are so widespread, they can't all be installation problems. I know the Pella windows in my house have problems cause of how they are constructed and the materials used by Pella. In another thread where I was asking about Marvin wood-clad vs. Pella, HomeSealed wrote "[Pella] still has a roll formed clad sash, which is inferior to an extruded exterior that you get on the Marvin". I also am not a fan of Pella's practice of denial - I would respect them more if they just admitted to the issues and asked what they could do to help. I have been replacing my Pella Prolines with Marvin Ultimates (a few at a time as I can afford it), and the experience with Marvin has been excellent. You mentioned vinyl - from my reading on this forum there are some really good manufacturers of vinyl windows, and I think for vinyl Marvin is not one of the best, though they are the best for wood-clad. Do a search on this Forum and you will find a lot of info and recommendations.

Comments (2)Just had the Pinnacle series (extruded aluminum clad windows) casement windows installed in my house. It does NOT perform any better than my 30 yr old original window. The owner of contractor company came out to look at the install and agreed that there is air leaking in thru the sash and the sill. A technician from Windsor Window agreed as well. Then a regional sales manager came out to look at it, and he basically played dumb and said he's not feeling any air leaking. The sales manager basically came to say they are not going to help in any way. Each window costed me $1100 (just the window not including labor), and the quality of product delivered is not worth $1100. There are scratches all over, and some of those are pretty deep that they are going to show even after painting. If there is anyone evaluating Windsor Window, based on my experience I strongly recommend you stay AWAY from Windsor windows because they are not worth the money. Luckily, I only replaced my bedroom windows upstairs. I will NOT use Windsor Windows again for first floor and my future home....See MoreSierra Pacific H3 vs Windsor Pinnacle windows and slider
Comments (4)Stick with the 400's. I could not recommend either if the others, and personally the 400's would be a stretch for me....See Morecartercrest_aol_com
