Has anyone used Norwood windows ?
Comments (7)We are in Southern Ontario near the lake so we do get some weather here. Our home was actually a major reno rather than a new build. We kept a newer great room/master addition, gutted the rest of the house and added on a kitchen and a couple of bedrooms. The great room had six sets of french doors and we wanted to have those work with all of the new windows and french doors we would be adding throughout the house. We were able to do that well with Norwood. This picture shows the front door (not a Norwood) of that and to the left you can see one of the existing great room french doors. All of the other windows and the french door to the balcony are the Norwoods. Sorry, these are old pictures - pretty well not too long after window install and during the renovation so a lot of things are still unfinished - but I haven't taken any newer ones and at least they show the windows. Here is a picture of the windows over the main kitchen sink...See MoreAnyone use Milgard Ultra or other fiberglass window?
Comments (29)Milgard Ultra fiberglass only has single hung, no double hung; I went to their Simi Valley factory/showroom. Their Tuscany line has double hung. I was impressed with how easy it was to pull it in to clean the outside of window as compared to the Pella vinyl I tested at a Pella showroom. I was impressed with Pella’s wood with aluminum clad exterior but everything else, vinyl and fiberglass, looked very low end. The finish on the Pella fiberglass had a wrinkly texture that looked cheap. I am concerned with comments about the Milgard Ultra fiberglass finish peeling. Has anyone else experienced this? We are planning on replacing all the windows and frames on our stucco house in SoCal so I want to get this right. We have white trim inside and out so color not an issue....See MoreAnyone ever use Amerimax Windows?
Comments (16)I purchased Amerimax windows 11 years ago and have had problems with 2 windows. The first is condensation in between the 2 layers of glass, causing the window to freeze in it's track, not being able to open it. I contacted the company which I purchased them from and the guy must think I'm an idiot. He told me that because the window was on the north side of my home, when it gets cold outside the window would do this. I,m telling all of you that if you have condensation inside the glass layers the window seal is bad, period! The only fix is to replace the window. To tell a customer that is absurd. Also, the same window as well as another window on the south portion of my home I now have both pull rails ( the part you grab to open or close window) is now separating. This piece should be a solid piece which looks that way until it starts to fail and then you realize it's a two piece construction glued together. They did a good job making it look like one piece. Now the company I purchased the windows through called Colorado Window Source states they no longer are affiliated with them. So I am trying to call Cascade which purchased Amerimax. Basically, I would advise anyone looking for new windows, myself included, not to purchase vinyl windows if you are staying in the home for many years. I know vinyl is less expensive, I would wait and save more until you can afford windows that are made of a composite material ( again, myself included). The amount of issues and complaints I read about dealing with these companies who tell they have a lifetime warranty is only good if the company is going to be there when you need them. I'm kicking myself in the butt because I generally know better. I would only suggest purchasing windows from a company who has been around for decades whether it be vinyl or composite. Wish I would of listened to my own advise ! Good Luck to all of you and do yourself of favor, Remember- DO YOUR HOME WORK !...See MoreIs vinyl ok? United Window &Door- new home
Comments (2)Vinyl in new construction is a crime in my opinion. My parents did vinyl in an addition a few years ago and several need replaced. (glass cracking & seal failure) A builder I know who used 400 series for years tried United Windows and switched to back to 400 series because he had too many call backs. I am pulling all the vinyl out of my house and replacing with Marvin Ultimate Double Hungs & Casemasters. If you do not like the tilt of the 400 series check the Marvin Integrity line. Price wise that are very similar to the 400 series. I wouldn't mess around with the 200 series....See Morefriedajune
