Hayfield Windows Reviews :: Heritage SeriesHayfield Window & Door Co ReviewsHi Tim, I'm considering having Hayfield windows installed on my house but I'm getting conflicting information about the quality of their products. Many contractors seem to like them but their Google reviews over the last couple of years are the worst I have ever seen. I was told that's due to the low quality "builder grade" windows used in new construction but that the "remodeler grade" are top notch.
[Website Editor Reply]Don, I don't hear a ton about Hayfield and they don't get a ton of press...that's why we have 8 reviews over 12 years. The Classics are their entry level vinyl and their Heritage is the upgraded window. I really can't speak to the quality of either one. If their reviews are bad over the last few years, I would continue my search in other directions.
[Don's Reply]Hi Tim, thanks for your speedy reply! I have looked at other brands as well and some of the contractors quoted ProVia Endure, Soft-Lite Elements and the Zen Nirvana and Lotus. I'm still trying to compare the pricing since there are other items included in the estimates and most contractors don't break the costs down into each component. I'll try to get more details on the cost of the window install by itself so it's easier to compare and I can share those numbers once I have them. I'm looking at replacement of 16 windows and 2 patio doors. From what I know so far, here is where I think the cost from different contractors will come in; all full frame install, including painted extension jambs and trim:
[Website Editor Reply]Don, my first pick would be the ProVia Endure, which is a great window and one that would have in my home. My second pick would be the Zen Nirvana (assuming that its the relabeled Soft-lite Classic, which is what Zen typically sells). Quite a good window and just below the quality offered by the ProVia Endure. I would try to match up my window selection with the best contractor for the job -- sounds like that might be tricky, but use your best judgement.
Hayfield Windows Reviews :: 201 SeriesThe Hayfield 201 single hung series (with a low-e window, argon fill, and grids) has some impressive numbers, including a design pressure of 55, air infiltration of of .02, U-value of .27, solar heat gain coefficient of .34, visible transmittance of .50 and a condensation resistance of 62. Those are very good numbers for a single hung, which are often a lower quality window. Not in this case.
Hayfield 201 Cost vs. Andersen 100 SeriesHi Dane, I live in Minnesota and have been getting estimates to replace 8 slider windows and a patio slider door.
[Website Editor Reply]From the little I know, the Hayfield 201 would top my list with that group. I'd probably go with the Andersen 100 next. I think the reviews of the company putting in the windows should play a big role in your decision.
Hayfield Window & Door Co ReviewsReplacing two 48" X 48" slider windows in the basement. I have a Hayfield dealer selling me the dura Wood 201 double slider. What do you think about this window? I like that it can be stained to match my unique woodwork, but I'm concerned about the wood. He insures me that the dura Wood will not rot,swell, crack etc.
[Website Editor Reply]Hi Matt and Kendra. So the Dura Wood from Hayfield is a wood laminate. They make a nice looking window with some nice numbers. The 200 slider gets a .06 air infiltration. I've attached a sheet from the company so you can take a look at the numbers.
Hayfield 201 Single Hungs In IowaGood Afternoon, we are going to replace 32 windows and want to use a very good quality window. Do you know anything about Hayfield vinyl windows? They are made in Minnesota but they do have a dealer close to us in Sioux City Iowa. Thanks.
[Website Editor Reply]Lowell, I don't hear a ton about Hayfield and have always been under the impression that they made a pretty mediocre product. However, I took a look at their website, specifically at the performance data and I have to say it's much better than I thought. For instance, that 201 single hung (using low-e, fills, and foam inserts) has a DP55, AI of .02, U-value of .27, SHGC of .37, VT of .56 and CR of 62. I'm not sure what model they are showing you, but these are very solid numbers.
Hayfield 201 Windows vs Gerkin 6000I'm getting new windows, mostly sliders but also 2 double hungs, and I'm looking at the Gerkin 6000s and Hayfield 201s. The price is pretty close so it's down to features. Gerkin has better AI numbers, Hayfield has a better warranty. But Gerkin's is 10 years on glass, 5 on hardware and that might be all I need so I haven't decided.
[Response From Industry Insider]The two lines are comparable and both are fine. The Hayfield warranty is a lot better, 10 and 5 isn't long at all. The warranty might be important enough to make Hayfield my choice.
Hayfield 201 Series SlidersMy friend had Hayfields put on his whole house and he is really pleased. He said he got a great deal, and when we decided to get new windows we called the dealer he had gone through. We've been really happy with them. The warranty is good, and they are much less drafty than our old ones. The patio door has a really smooth glide, and the windows are really easy to clean from the inside. One sliding window that was put in was the wrong style, but they ordered a replacement and had it fixed in a couple weeks. Overall it was great service and a good deal.
Hayfield Windows Reviews :: 701 SeriesThe Hayfield 701 casement window delivers the following performance data: a design pressure of 80, air infiltration of .01, , U-value of .27, solar heat gain coefficient of .31, visible transmittance of .46 and a condensation resistance of 62. Those are great numbers.
Hayfield 701 Cost QuoteWe have 4 double casements 48"x48", 56"x48", 56"x60", 56"x48", 2-30"x54" single casements 1 left and 1 right, Patio door 72"x80" opens from right to left. More on double-hung window sizes and prices.
[Website Editor Reply]Robert, the Okna 700 is excellent, and Homesealed has an excellent reputation for installation. You will pay for the privilege, but will be assured of a great window and installation.
Hayfield Windows Reviews QuestionHello, I see that a contractor will not install Hayfield windows and one of the reviews on your site is a thumbs up. How do we know if this is a valid customer and do you happen to have any direct experience with this company?
[Website Editor Reply]Gail, the one review where the contractor refused to install Hayfield windows was from 2010, so I would take that with a grain of salt. I recently did a Hayfield windows based on the energy efficiency ratings and I was pretty impressed.
General Reviews And PricesHayfield Windows vs GerkinsI'm looking at both Gerkins and Hayfields. They are pretty similar as far as air infiltration but I'm not sure how much that matters. The Gerkins says a range of .04 -.07 and the Hayfield says .06, so I don't see a significant difference. I'll have to have 4 sliders and 2 single hung windows.
[Contractor Response]You won't find any real differences in the AI with numbers that close. The Hayfields have a better warranty, 20 years on all of it, while the Gerkin has 10 years on hardware and only 5 on glass. If you like them the same, then I'd let the warranty shift the balance to the Hayfields.
[2nd Response]Can you go look at them together in person? If you can find someone who carries both lines, go look at them and see how they compare. Both companies make a good product and I don't think either would be a bad choice.
Hayfield Windows ComplaintsThe installer I'm working with refuses to install anything from Hayfield. He said the last time he did, they were poorly made and leaky, and they refused to replace the faulty windows. He recommends anything but Hayfields, and says Vista or Andersen is a good choice.
