Advice on windows - Lux vs Jeld Wen vs. Loewen windows...or other???
Comments (1)"Has anyone dealt with Lux, Jeld-wen or Loewen? While we aren't necessarily looking for top-of-the-line (eg. Pella)" Lux is a mediocre at best product from what I recall, Jeldwen is lower than that. Pella in anything vinyl is on par with the Jeldwen. And Loewen does not make a vinyl product, a very good (high end) wood product however and light years ahead of Pella. If you truly want Vinyl, look at OKNA, Softlite, and several of the brands that are frequently mentioned here by the pros. Availability may be limited by your location however....See MoreVinyl Plank vs Tile Plank vs Vinyl Tile Plank vs Laminate
Comments (12)We did our whole basement a few months back in luxury vinyl tile (that's the lvt above :) ) and just love it. I think it's a no-brainer if you have dogs that will scratch up hardwood or need waterproofing (we put it through our laundry area and mudroom). On a main floor, I'd still do hardwood, because all of the other options feel fake underfoot (barefoot). But if that's not an option, the lvt is warm, soft, and has some awesome looks these days. I really think it's going to completely replace laminate pretty quickly....See MoreWindow options: windsor vs marvin integrity and 2604 vs 2605 coat
Comments (5)Personally I have a disdain for Windsor anything, but that goes back some years. I do not sell residential products these days but still no plenty of people in the business and they will not sell anything Windsor. That being said I have heard nothing to chnage my mind about the Pinnacle series. Marvin Integrity is a good product, you will hear people speak of a finish issue back a few yeras but from what I understand Marvin has made good on all issues and has addressed and fixed the issues. It's not if there is an issue its what you do to remedy and assure the issue is not on going that is the biggest thing in my opinion. Now, Intergity is a Wood Ultrex or all Ultrex product (fiberglass) where the Pinnacle is an aluminum clad. If I were going to use an aluminum clad product without a doubt the 2605 finish would be the way I would go. You can also post this in the window forum here on Gardenweb for the pro's there to offer their opinions....See MoreImpact windows- South Florida- PGT vs ESWindows Alum vs vinyl
Comments (9)"He made the argument that coastal homes never use aluminum windows, but aren't high-rise windows typically aluminum framed?" First I have heard of this and absolutely hi-rise windows are aluminum 90% of the time. Here on Long Island aluminum is used right on the water all the time. I would be very surprised of that was not the case most everywhere....See MoreWindows on Washington Ltd
