Replacing double hung windows

songkrai · 07-18-2013, 10:07 AM

I get all of my windows from A&B lumber.
I always get Bonneville brand.
They do have to be ordered.

Be forewarned. Most retailers will attempt to steer you toward the window brand that they make the most profit on. Not necessarely the best window for you.

ALL window manufacturers make/sell/market various types and grades.
Vinyl. Wood. Aluminum clad. Most with different grades/qualities.

Most have different types of installation. Some with trim attached. Some with a flange to screw/nail in. Some with no flange/trim.

Got to do your homework as to exactly what you require.

I get double pain.

The only window that has failed me in many years was a large Brosco (not Bonneville) picture window. The seal failed. Fog inside double pain.

Bonneville has a large catalog of window styles and sizes. Bonneville charges 10% more for a non-catalog size. Most manufactures offer same for older homes that may not have a standard size.

Make sure to speak with the person that actually knows the product. Not all do.
