We dealt with REGENCY in Cleveland, Ohio. In 2012 some of them began to show leakage in the 3 panes and soon a discoloration appeared. Regency of course, even with their LIFETIME WARRANTY, was out of business and I was advised to contact Softlite if I had a problem and when I did I was told to contact the Attorney General of Ohio. My letter was never acknowledged by the AG and I let it go. Today we have more that are having the same problem. According to Cleveland's Choice for Windows website the article advises to contact the original manufacturer, Gorell, who is out of business and Softlite appears to have purchased their assets.
[Site Editor's Answer]Robert, I apologize but I just don't know who you go after. Soft-Lite bought the assets of Gorell out of bankruptcy, meaning they didn't buy them per se, just the factory etc. You could call up Soft-Lite and ask them if they honor these warranties, but I already know the answer.
Gorell Windows ReviewsHello Brad: I had Gorells installed throughout my home in 2004 by Sandau Construction of Shakopee MN.
[Website Editor Reply]Jill, unfortunately, the compant went out of business in 2012. So there is really no way to have the window fixed under the warranty. I'll send you some suggestions for repair and replace options.
Gorell Replacement PartsDane, I need to replace both assemblies on a 17 year old Gorells BUT do not know what specific assemblies to order because no local retailers sell this window anymore.
[Website Editor Reply]Donald, the company was purchased by Soft-Lite a number of years ago. My suggestion would be to search google and see you can find a local company that sells the brand. Then call them up and ask if they know where you can get a replacement part. You may have to call up Soft-Lite directly...that's the best I think of...
Gorell Windows Reviews IssuesI need impact resistant windows and I have Gorell window that I bought maybe 8 years ago. They work great but now they aren't in business and I need to do about half the home. Any recommendations?
[Site Editor's Answer]Cindi, they definitely made good impact windows, but there are definitely some nice options out there. The Simonton Stormbreaker Plus is a solid window. PGT<, CWS are both Florida companies that manufacture impact window lines. Stanek and Soft-Lite are also good manufacturers that you may want to take a look at! PGT Impact Windows
Gorell Replacement Window PartsWhere can I get replacement parts for a Gorell double hung window that was purchased in 2005?
[Site Editor's Response]Dawn, Gorell was purchased by Soft-Lite back in 2012 so you may want to call them and see what they have to say about replacement parts. Legally, the company has no obligation to service any of the Gorell warranty, but the company still would have more information than anyone else I could think of.
Gorell Windows Out Of BusinessSince Gorell was filed into receivership; who can we get to service a leaking Eco-Master 5200 low-E window? Florida Impact Window & Door will not respond. I know Gorell warranty is useless and disavowed by Soft-Lite.
[Editor's Response]I wish I had an answer for you - we are in California and don't know a specific local company to call in south Florida. Unfortunately, Soft-Lite won't be any help, although if you call them and ask for their advice, you may get something (doubtful, but worth a shot). The only other advice would be to do a search for "replacement windows in [city or town you live in]" and call up a few companies and see what they say. They may be able to service the window for an hourly rate. Get a quote beforehand and keep them to the price they quoted the job out at. Gorell vs SimontonI'm looking for replacement windows for my house near Chicago. I can't spend a ton of money, but I still want the best replacement windows I can buy. I have quotes on Gorells and Simonton for 16 windows.
[Contractor Response]The Simonton 5500 is a nice window, but I'd recommend the Gorells even if it was the most expensive option. The OKNA, Softlite, and Sunrise have good lines with similar features that are a little better than what you're looking at but not much more expensive.

With fiberglass reinforcement, a foam filled frame, and double strength glass it might be the best of the three.
Gorell Windows Reviews 5300 SeriesI really like the 5300 series. It's one of the best designed vinyl windows on the market. It's a lot like the Vekaplast DH1WW but without the shortcomings. With a sloped sill instead of a pocket sill and the glazing beads on the exterior, it looks and works great. It will outlast pretty much anything you want to compare it to.
Gorell 5100 vs Okna 400I have quotes on the Gorell 5100 and the Okna 400 series. This is for 4 sliders and 6 double hung windows.
[Contractor Response]Mary, both Okna and Gorell make a very good vinyl window. These are both pretty similar windows so I would certainly go with the Okna and save yourself $1000. Your Okna windows price bid is very good.
Gorell Windows vs. SoftliteGorell and the Soft-Lite windows have air infiltration ratings around .05. The Gorell windows are good and have some nice glass packages. Their triple pane windows are very good.
Gorell 5500 vs PGT 2300I've narrowed down my options to the Gorell 5500 series and the PGT 2300 series. The Gorell 5500 is roughly a third more. I have 20 windows and four patio sliding doors so the project is going to be expensive.
[Bill's Response]I think you have two good options here, but for my money Gorell makes some of the best vinyl windows on the market. However, the Gorell is also significantly more. I would see if you can get the Gorell dealer to get the price more like 20% more.
Gorell 5300 vs Soft-Lite Imperial LSI'm looking at either the Softlite Imperial LS or the Gorell 5300 series. They both seem like high quality windows so I'm curious which one you would choose.
[Steven's Response]First off, these are both excellent windows. For me, the Soft-Lite Imperial LS is the better of the two. Not by much, but if they are the same price, this is the one I would go with. Having said that, a bigger factor would be less about the window and more about the company doing the install. This would be the overarching factor at this point were it my decision.
Gorell vs. Harvey And OknaWe have estimates from three high quality companies that sell the Gorell 5100, the Harvey Tribute and the Okna 400. Which is the best option do you think?
[Harry's Response]The Gorell and Okna windows are both top tier manufacturers. Harvey is a second tier manufacturer, still good, but just not as good as either one of these.
Gorell Timeless Series vs StanekIs the Gorell Timeless or the Staneks vinyl window the better option?
[Harry's Response]Melinda, the Gorell Timeless is the better window in my estimation. Stanek makes good windows but they don't strike me as a strong company when compared to Gorell. I wouldn't take the chance.
Gorell 5300 ReviewThe Gorell 5300 line is one of my top 5 best windows. The others are the premium vinyl windows from Polaris, SoftliteSunrise and Okna.
Gorell vs Ideal WindowsI live in Pennsylvania and need replacement vinyl windows. A dealer with Ideal quoted out the 5000 series at $400 per window, while a Gorell quoted out the 5100 series for $572 per window.
[Danny's Response]Lewis, my take is Gorell over Ideal. They have a better reputation and better products. However Ideal's premium windows are very solid and definitely worth a look.
Gorell 5300 vs Alside UltramaxI need to replace 23 windows. It's down to either the Alside Ultramax or the Gorell 5300. The Alside was quoted out at $14,500 while the Gorell was quoted out at $11,500.
[Larry's Response]Dan, this is a slam dunk for me. The Gorell 5300 is the better window by far and is $3K less. Go with the better window and save yourself some money!
