Vytex Windows Reviews And PricesCompany Information: Vytex is not a household name when it comes to windows, but they do offer several very solid vinyl windows and, perhaps more importantly, good value to the consumer. Vytex is a Maryland based company and a regional one at that so finding a dealer in your area could prove difficult. If Vytex were available in my area (which they aren't) I would get a bid on the Fortis or the Potomac-hp and see how it compared to say the better Simonton models I could find offered locally. Are Vytex Windows Any Good? The Fortis and Potomac-hp windows offer very strong performance data, nice features, clean sightlines and an overall a nice looking vinyl window. Where Vytex stands out is in the performance numbers that their windows deliver for the price point. I would tend to advise homeowners to stick with their premium vinyl windows.

Vytex Windows Reviews :: Georgetown SeriesThe Georgetown series is the company's "entry level" vinyl window that delivers a U factor of 0.30 and air infiltration of .09 with their standard glass package. (Any window with an AI rating under .10 shouldn't be considered entry level - but it is the company's least expensive option.) It uses a sloped sill (much preferred to a pocket or capture sill), along with a Duralite spacer. The downside on the window is a less robust main frame than on their better windows (2.75 inch jamb depth compared to a 3.25 inch on the Fortis and Potomac-HP), single strength glass, no foam fills, a more basic lock, and slightly less robust IGU.
Vytex Georgetown Windows Reviews 2023I had a few quotes for replacement windows for the front of my house. Currently have builder grade vinyl windows (home built in 2003). Front of home gets afternoon Raleigh, NC sun and most IGU’s are fogged up. Currently debating between Gentek Signature Elite and Vytex Georgetown. Any thoughts on these windows? Not sure how long I will be in this home.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Barry, both the Signature Elite and Georgetown series are good quality options. I would put both of them in that really solid mid range category. This is a nice place to be in in terms of overall price level if there’s a question as to how long you gonna remain in the home. In terms of which one to go with, I don’t think there’s a huge difference in terms of brand, quality, and craftsmanship. I would put these two pretty squarely on par with one another.
Georgetown Windows CostHi Dane need some advice,We are looking to replace 1 bay,bow window 120x64 and 10 36x46 windows,they quoted me 10250 for 11 total,ultravision,,is this a good price or is the Georgetown window better, We get a lot of sun in the morning. I don't know what window is better. Thanks Len B
[Website Editor Reply]Len, when it comes to specialty windows such as bay and/or bow windows, you are going to get a big price spread based on how often the installer does this type of work, what kind of pricing they get, and whether they feel comfortable putting in these types of windows. Having said all of that, the price looks pretty fair to me IF they have good to excellent reviews on their past work.
Vytex Georgetown SeriesDane, thanks for the info. I checked, and the Vytex is the Georgetown series. Is that series any good?
[Site Editor's Answer]Paige, I'm going to send you my Georgetown write up, but not this is one of their entry level windows. I will also send you my good and great windows list for you to take a look at.
Vytex Georgetown BidHi Dane! I love your site and all of your vytex windows reviews! I wanted to get your input on vinyl windows as I'm feeling pretty lost. We have three slider windows that are 62 inches wide. They are old and need replaced, and because we don't love the way they function we are looking to turn each window into a double mulled window (so will end up being 6 double hung windows total) The double hung windows are traditionally what is used on our 1920's four square home. I have gotten the following quotes so far each for 6 double hung mulled windows:
[Site Editor's Answer]Jessica, personally, I'd stick with the sliders if budget is a concern -- they look nice, but that's just my take. That will save you quite a bit of money. The Pella Encompass and Pella 250 isn't something I'd put in myself. I think there are better windows at a comparable price.
Vytex Georgetown Window QuoteHi guys, I am wondering your guys opinion on the price of my quote for Vytex Georgetown Windows from Window Nation. I know it’s their entry level model but I’m not sure how long we are staying in our house so I am fine with the entry level quality of the Georgetown series. We currently have original wood windows from the 1970s.
[Website Editor Reply]Jordan, that's not a bad price for 16 windows and a patio door. Window Nation isn't always the cheapest, but in this case it looks like you are paying around $475 per window for the Georgetown. Not bad with installation. I'd still say get a couple more bids to use as comparison, but a pretty solid firt bid to be sure.
Vytex Georgetown vs. Alside MezzoI'm doing a remodel on a townhouse that consists of two sliding doors and four large windows. The install is pretty complicated.
[Website Editor Reply]Tani, I like Vytex more than Alside in general but the bid you have from Alside is so much lower. The Georgetown isn't the best model in general.
Vytex Georgetown Series From Window NationWe have a bid from Window Nation on 26 double hung replacement windows, 11 have tempered glass.
[Website Editor Reply]Win, it's tough to say whether it's fair without seeing more project bids. The Georgetown series is Vytex's entry level window, they have a Fortis and Potomac-hp series which I consider much better.
Vytex Georgetown vs American Jewel 3000I have two estimates and have been looking for mid range windows. Vytex Georgetown or American Jewel 3000 series. Which would you recommend?
[Site Editor's Response]Hi Donna, thanks for the question. I think Vytex makes a good window, but not necessarily the Georgetown model, I would suggest either the Heritage or Fortis models.
Vytex vs Simonton WindowsWe have 13 windows to replace and the bids are as follows.
[Installer Response]Jen, the Soft-Lite Elements is the best deal of the bunch, followed by the Sunrise Vanguard. Either of these windows would be excellent, the Vytex Heritage is just not in the same category as these other two.
Vytex Windows Reviews :: Fortis SeriesThe Fortis model is one of Vytex's top rated window (a small notch below the Potomac-hp series). It is generally thought of as a nice unit with good design and construction by many contractors and installers.
Vytex Windows CostDane, I had emailed you early on in the year and you had said you would be able to look over a quote to give recommendations. 28 windows and 1 patio door - total cost was $20.8K. I was able to get a quote from ProBros for the Fortis line of windows and was able to make a trip to their office. I was quite impressed with the windows they had on display. They do not deliver to my location so delivery and installation would be my responsibility. Let me know if you need more information from the quote and I will check in to it more. Thanks for your help.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Scott, so I took a look at the sheet and it looked pretty fair to me. Standard casement for $550 without installation sounds about right. $400 for a 48 x 48 horizontal slider is a fair price on the Fortis series. Quite a nice window and decent pricing. I think you're in business, nice work!
Vytex vs SunriseHello! I have two quotes from two local replacement window dealers in the Toledo, OH area for 10 slider style windows that are very comparable in total price (under $10k). One dealer is recommending the Fortis series, and the other is recommending the Sunrise Restorations series (v5000).
[Site Editor's Answer]Kelli, I would choose the Sunrise Restorations series over the Fortis -- both great windows like you said though...I just think the Sunrise brand is preferable to the Vytex.
Vytex Presidential Series CostHello Dane, THANKS so much for your insight. I heard Windows of Washington has a very good reputation but the price is too high, hence I am taking them out of the race.
[Website Editor Reply]Javier, I agree with all of your comments and insights. I think you have three good options this far.
Fortis vs PotomacWhich do you think is better quality & value? Fortis vs Potomac.
[Website Editor Reply]Joseph, the Potomac-hp is the better model. Honestly though, both are awesome vinyl windows! Can't go wrong with either of these.
Vytex Fortis vs. Soft-Lite Barrington / KingsroyalI just wanted to check if you have received my email earlier asking for your suggestions as to what offer / company I should go with to replace 9 windows and 2 sliding doors.
[Website Editor Reply]Hi Van, so I don’t know how Semper West stacks up to the local Zen branch, but I’m going to assume for argument sake that they are equal to one another. If their reputations are not the same, this should be an important factor.
[Van's Reply]Hi Dane, I appreciate your quick response.
[Website Editor Reply]Van, the price is definitely fair, essentially you are getting a top notch window for about $550 per, depending on the patio door cost, which I sort of guesstimated.
Fortis 5200 seriesOk thank you very much! Since you guys are knowledgeable about this, would you say this type of window is in the economy or average level? Just trying to gauge where I’m at In terms of overall quality.
[Website Editor Reply]Charlie, the Vytex Fortis is an excellent vinyl window. I might put it in my top 10. Top 15 for sure.
Vytex Fortis Windows Any advice on which estimate to choose? I'm in Central Maryland in a 3-level townhouse. I plan to stay in the house for about 5 more years and then probably rent it out after that. I would like good windows, but not top of the line (my budget can only go so far). I also prefer thinner frames and maximizing glass.
[Website Editor Reply]Kory, you have some EXCELLENT bids there, some really top notch windows. It's almost a shame you're only staying there for five years. My pick would be the "cheapest" one the Vytex Fortis for $5798. This is a GREAT window - a true welded slope sill, injected foam sash, a Duralite spacer, and mortised sill wall. It gets a .04 air infiltration, and a DP R-50 rating - all very impressive numbers. As long as you like the installers, this is what I'd go with...
Vytex Fortis vs. Ply GemDane and Tim, I am looking to replace 5 windows, all of which are non standard sizes and need to be sliding windows as a result. I have two quotes one for pygem and one for vytex windows from 2 different companies to install and am trying to decide which route is worth going with. Given the large difference I was wondering if it was really worth the difference in price.
[Website Editor Reply]Meredith, the Vytex Fortis is an excellent window. Definitely worth the $1000 over anything Ply Gem manufactures.
Fortis vs Ideal Platinum 3000Do you have info on the Ideal Platinum window? We have a bid on the Fortis Vytex,, which costs $1700 more than the Ideal. The Okna 500 series was $3700 more expensive.
[Site Editor's Answer]Mosebar, the Vytex Fortis is a very good window and probably worth a bit more. You don't really say how many windows you are buying so the $1700 more doesn't really tell me much. The Ideal Platinum 3000 is quite a good window though and if it is less expensive, this is certainly a window I owed consider in my own house.
Vytex Fortis Windows vs Soft-Lite LSHow does the Vytex Fortis compare to the Soft-Lite Imperial LS?
[Site Editor's Response]Genie, the Fortis is a very good window, but I wouldn't say it's quite as good as the Soft-Lite Imperial LS. I would rate the Fortis an 7.5 on a 1 to 10 scale and the Soft-Lite Imperial LS a 9.5. Both very good windows though.
Vytex Windows vs WincoreI am busy replacing windows in my home and have two estimates so far. One is for the Vytex Fortis windows and the other is for the Wincore 5400 series. The Wincore is more expensive and looking at both windows I think they look similar in design and quality. Ideally I want middle of the range windows that are reasonably priced, but offer decent quality. Any suggestions is appreciated.
[Installer Response]If you only have those two choices, then go with the Vytex Fortis windows. These have decent performance numbers and they are a good looking window. The Wincore windows are more expensive and aren't as good a quality. Remember your Vytex windows come with composite reinforcements and a frame that is foam filled, so they are definitely the better choice. Vytex vs Window WorldVytex has a Washington DC factory which I've been to and I've sold many of their windows. The Fortis is very well made, much better than one of the big national outfits like Window World which just resells an Alside window.
Vytex Potomac-HP Windows ReviewsThe Potomac-hp window is the company's high end vinyl window that is impressive in its overall look, energy efficiency, and its long term value for consumers. Standard features and components include foam insulation, constant force balancing, integral interlocks, an integrated sash lock, triple weatherstripping, a magnetic seal, and a composite sash reinforcement.
Vytex Potomac-HP Window SeriesHi Dane - had another question to maybe help me narrow down to certain window models.
[Website Editor Reply]Chris, I would probably rank them as such:
Potomac vs. Okna 600 Eco-ProHi. I like your website, as it has lots of information for homeowners trying to decide which windows to buy. I’m going to be replacing all of my windows (35) with vinyl windows. I have similar quotes on the Vytex Potomac and Okna Eco-Pro 600 windows, and a more expensive quote on Sunrise Restoration windows. How would you compare these 3 brands?
[Site Editor's Answer]HG, all three of these windows, the Vytex Potomac, Okna Eco-Pro 600, and the Sunrise Restoration series, are excellent. If I had to put them in order of energy efficiency, I would rate them Okna, Potomac, then Restorations, although the Restorations for me is the nicest looking of the three. I really like the Okna 600, so if the install crews were the same in terms of quality installation, then I would go with the Okna option first.
[HG's Reply]Hi Dane. Thank you for the answer. So, you'd be comfortable putting any of these 3 windows in your house?
[Site Editor's Answer]HG, yes, I would go with an installer who has a track record that I could measure in some appreciable way. The Potomac window is excellent, so if I knew I had a great product and a great installer, I would breathe easy myself. Since the installation is half the battle I think the Vytex is the way to go.
Vytex Potomac vs. Okna 800Hello Tim, we wrapped up our window estimates and this is the rundown of the quotes we received:
[Website Editor Reply]Marc, the price disparities aren't unique at all. Some companies have higher overheads, some simply try and charge more. All kinds of factors could account for this.
Potomac-hc Windows ProjectGood morning! A decision has been made, finally! First of all, thank you for your input. We have decided to go with the Vytex Potomac-hc windows and ProVia Steel patio doors on the back of the house. We're doing without the transoms and putting in 8 ft. doors with the glass and no grids on any of the doors or the windows to get a clear view. I really don't think that we could go wrong with either of the two windows, as you mentioned.
Vytex Potomac Price BidHello. i came across your site by just searching the web for window reviews. Seems like you provide good feedback. Here is my situation. I am in the process of trying to replace my windows in my home. This is the home that my family and I plan to live in for the next 15 yrs or so God willing. What I found is that trying to purchase window is a nightmare with all the brands out there. I learned that there are lots of windows that are distributed to different sellers and they slap their name on them. I also found that every manufacture claims to make their window differently.
[Website Editor Reply]Hey Luis, so you have quite a few window bids, which is great. I'll go through the bids and give you my impression.
[Luis' Reply]Tim, I sent the quote for the Revere Berkshire Elite to NOVA Installations which are located in Chantilly VA.
[Website Editor Reply]If they can match the price for the Vytex Potomac-hp, this is the window I would go with -- it's a great one.
[Luis' Reply]They priced match it. They also doing front and back doors with Provia 4800.
Potomac HP VyWood WindowsTim, I am considering buying 4 double hung and a picture window from Window Nation. These are made by Vytex Windows. Saw your website, but no reviews of the Vywood windows specifically.
[Site Editor's Answer]Tim, the Potomac-hp is a great vinyl window. However, I don't know much about the Vywood option. The way I understand it, it is a laminate wood product that can be painted or stained. It came out in 2017 so there not much anecdotal evidence as to the longevity. I would ask about the warranty information from Window Nation as a gauge of how well/long Vytex expects the laminate to do.
[Tim's Reply]Thank you very much for your response. I had gauged from your reviews, and others, that the Vytech HP was a quality window. I have asked the salesman for a copy of the warranty on the VyWood and I will carefully read the fine print.
[Site Editor's Answer]Tim, that's very strange. I've seen tons of quotes from WN that are standard window bids. How did they expect you to make a decision without specific window sizing and pricing? I wouldn't necessarily ditch them, but I would tread lightly if you decide to proceed. If anything else sketchy or unprofessional happens, I'd be wary about proceeding with them.
Replacement Windows In MarylandHi, very interested in your opinion on windows I should buy . These aren't replacement exactly because the mullions are there but they are screened in only. Deck has a roof and plank floor and is 27 x 10' . I basically want a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling tempered glass picture windows on the long side (total of five) , and slider windows with a 6 -12inch knee wall on each end. Thanks.
[Website Editor Reply]In Maryland, I'd recommend getting a bid from Vytex on their Fortis or Potomac-hp models. The higher end Simonton windows are good. Okra, Sunrise and Soft-Lite are all brands I like. Google "okna windows in [your town], Maryland" and see if any local companies carry them. If so, call them up and get a bid. Once you have three or four bids, choose the company with the best reputation and the best pricing!
Vytex Potomac HP windowsHello, can you recommend a Vytex window dealer that installs the Vytex Potomac HP windows in the Gainesville Virginia area?
[Website Editor Reply]I would simply google “Vytex Gainesville Virginia” and see what comes up….then call them up and see if they service your area. For instance, I came up with Nova Installations—I have no idea about their quality of installations so make sure you check them out thoroughly.
Vytex Potomac vs. The FortisThe reviews and responses on this site are very valuable and thank you for maintaining this valuable forum. I am looking for help with my window replacement project.
[Site Editor's Answer]Peter, I have heard that the Vytex Fortis is the preferred window over the Potomac, but I don't know enough about the differences to say why that is. My understanding is that they are very similar, with the difference being in the features that it comes standard with. But honestly, these are questions that the sales reps are best equipped to answer -- they work with the brand every day and should be able to tell you the exact differences better than I can (there are literally hundreds of window manufacturers in the United States.)
Vytex Ptomac vs The CompetitorsI have quotes on 15 windows that range from $9,000 to $14,000.
[Installer Response]John, the Vytex Potomac-HP is by far the best value in your bid options. The Potomac-HP is an even better window than the Fortis, and cheaper, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me but whatever. Definitely the Vytex bids are the best bang for your buck, both great windows and prices.
Vytex Grandview Windows Reviews And PricesThe Grandview window is typically sold by Window Nation, but is made by Vytex. It isn't uncommon for a company to sell a relabeled window and in this case, the Grandview model is a decent vinyl window. I wouldn't put it into the great category, but it is a solid performer and consumers can expect a .26 U-factor and .08 air infiltration rating.
Vytex Grandview Window BidI have a quote from Window Nation to install 22 Grandview for $17,400 which dramatically less expensive than quotes from Pella, Anderson, and a few other companies.
[Website Editor Reply]Dana, the Grandview is a decent enough vinyl window. If this is your forever house, I would consider moving up to the Potomac-HP, which is an excellent vinyl window. Window Nation is never the cheapest in my opinion, you are paying for the marketing and the name, but they have a pretty strong reputation. The fact that the other bids were much higher leads me to believe that your project probably had some large windows or some installation complications that are factoring into those bid prices.
[Dana's Reply]Thanks. I was able to get Soft-Lite Imperial LS for a little off the Grandview price.
[Website Editor Reply]Dana, the Soft-Lite Imperial LS is THE better window than the Potomac-HP and the much better window over the Grandview. This Soft-Lite Imperial LS is the way to go!
Vytex Grandview vs. Sunrise EssentialI'm choosing between the Sunrise Essentials and the Vytex Grandview for 34 double hung windows. The Sunrise Essentials is $16.7K and the Vytex Grandview is $21K.
[Website Editor Reply]Will, good news, the Vytex Grandview is both the better window and is the lowest bid. How much better, not by a lot. The Sunrise Essentials is the entry level window from a very strong company and the Vytex Grandview is their Georgetown model with some upgrades here and there. Both are more or less the entry level windows, but the Grandview is the winner in my opinion.
Grandview Series vs Okna 500 WindowI need 24 replacement windows and have two bids -- one on the Okna 500 and the other on the Vytex GrandView from Window Nation and the other for The prices are virtually identical so I'm looking for a head to head comparison.
[Site Editor's Answer]John, the Vytex Grandview window has a .08 air infiltration and. .26 U-factor, definitely respectable numbers.
Vytex Grandview vs Sunrise RestorationsWhich is better, the Sunrise Restorations or the Vytex Grandview series?
[Site Editor's Answer]Bob, the grandview by Window Nations is a good window. The Sunrise Restorations is an excellent vinyl window, one of the very best.
Grand View vs Sunrise Vinyl WindowsWhich is a better window, the Sunrise or the Vytex Grandview from Window Nation?
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Bob, the Vytex Grandview is a decent window. The Sunrise is the better window for sure. The Vytex Fortis is a better window than the standard Sunrise window.
Great View Replacement WindowsI have a bid with a company in Maryland for 7 Great View vinyl replacement windows. I cannot find any specs or info about these windows on the internet. I believe they are made by Vytex, but don't show on the Vytex website. Do you have any info? Are they any good? Thanks.
[Site Editor's Answer]Nick, I believe that the Grand View window series window is made by Vytex and relabeled by Window Nation. The Grand View window has a .08 air infiltration rating, .26 U-factor and a .27 SHGC, generally good numbers for a vinyl window. I would say that the Grand View is a solid mid range window, perhaps a bit on the better side of that mid mark. Window Nation gets good reviews in many cases, they also get their detractors. I think assuming you are getting solid installation from the local company, the Grand View windows are a good bet.
Vytex 3300 Windows Reviews And PricesVytex Casement vs. Simonton 5500I've gotten a number of quotes for custom sized windows. All in all, I have anywhere from 35 to 58 windows -- it is sort of dependent on how you count them.
[Site Editor's Response]Jean-Marie, I like both the Andersen 100 and Simonton 5500, both good windows. My pick would be the Simonton over the Andersen.
Vytex 4000 Windows Reviews And PricesThe Vytex 4000 series is a lower end single hung new construction window that is often sold to builders for larger projects and developments. It is listed under the company's commercial section of their website. I would give the Vytex 4000 Series Window a out of 5 stars rating.
Vytex Heritage Windows Reviews And PricesThe Vytex Heritage series is no longer listed on the company's website. This one-time replacement window was available as a slider, double hung or as a picture window. I would give the Vytex Heritage Series Window a out of 5 stars rating.
Vytex Heritage vs Sunrise VanguardI have 13 windows that need to be changed out and have a number of options. The Sunrise Vanguard was $8233, the SoftLite Elements was $7446, the Simonton Generations was $6908, and the Vytex Heritage was $8590.
[Installer Response]I wouldn't go with the Vytex Heritage or Alside Excalibur to my clients. The Sunrise Vanguard and Soft-Lite Elements on the other hand are both excellent windows!
Vytex 5200 Windows Reviews And PricesVytex 5200 WindowsHey, I saw your website and I appreciate all the info on there. Could you give me an unbiased opinion on these two quotes? I have no clue about windows but I’m almost positive the vytex window is much better than the wincore, but yet he’s trying to charge the same price. It’s 4 windows and the price is virtually the same. Could you give me your opinion(first time homeowner and no idea about windows). I’m pretty sure I’m gonna go with the vytex but do you think I could get it at a lower price?
[Website Editor Reply]Charles, the Vytex 5200 series is better than the Wincore by a whole lot. Given the same price point and same installer, the Vytex option would certainly be my first choice.
Vytex Prodigy Windows Reviews And PricesVytex Prodigy Fusion WindowI see a lot of information on your site for Vytex Fortis and Potomac-hp but no information about the Vytex Prodigy Fusion welded window. I got a quote from Unicorp Home Energy Service in College Park, Md for 21 windows What do you know about this window. Thank you.
[Website Editor Reply]Krystal, from what I know the Unicorp Prodigy has the same specs as the Fortis...so I’m pretty sure it’s a relabeled Fortis. A solid window to be sure.
Vytex Presidential Windows ReviewsVytex Presidential Series CostHi Dane, I live in Fairfax, VA, zip 22030. I'm at the researching stage to get quotes for window/door replacement for my house. We currently like to replace 37 wood windows:
[Website Editor Reply]
Vytex Genesis Windows Reviews And PricesVytex Genesis vs. Okna Enviro-Star 800Good evening Dane, I'm in the DC area and have received bids for 23 double-hung vinyl replacement windows from 4 companies, but the vytex and okna are the only two I'm interested in as they are local contractors with great reputations.
[Website Editor Reply]Steve, I have to admit I have never heard of the Vytex Genesis before -- they don't list it on their website so I'm assuming it is made specifically for certain dealers of theirs. It looks very solid based on the brochure. If the company offering it has a great reputation and believes in the product (I would probably call them up once more and ask how long they have been selling the window, whether they have had any issues with it, what are the warranty details, etc. just to put my mind at ease). If I was satisfied with their answers, I would probably pull the trigger as I like the window brand, the company doing the install is solid, and you are saving $9K, which is a lot!
General Window ReviewsVytex Garden Window 2050 SeriesHi trying to research a vytex garden window 2050 series 33 1/3 or 33 1/2 x 58 casements that open on sides and avonite window seat. can send copy of estimates. am single 74 years old on dialysis financial issues BUT have a small Pullman kitchen 112 in length and about 4 ft between sink/counter and stove/frig. have gotten into growing herbs to help with reduced salt on dialysis dietary challenges. plus light in kitchen will help my mood. need advice. live alone and need to make responsible choices. feel solo females dealing w unknown contractors need to be informed about projects..esp expensive ones😎
[Site Editor's Answer]Angela, Vytex makes a good window in general. As to garden windows, I'm not sure there are any particular companies that stand out, just go with a reputable brand. To that end, here is my list of good and great windows:
Vytex Window BidDane, thank you SO much. I have definitely made some mistakes on this purchase. You saved me from signing this Vytex contract, but I still have to get my deposit back from the company selling Element 3 windows by Slocumb. I notified them via email on day one of the three day recision, but they still cashed the check on say three.
[Site Editor's Answer]
Window RecommendationHopefully I’ll be in my house another 20 years. Do you have a favorite window that you feel is the best bang for the buck? Thank you
[Website Editor Reply]My favorite brands include Okna, Sunrise, Soft-Lite, Polaris, Kensington, and Vytex. Their mid range and premium vinyl window offers are all good to excellent. Zen sells Soft-Lite so I’ll include them as well. Ideal Windows is very good too, but probably not available in Virginia. Check anyways.
Vytex WindowsDane, I’m replacing a couple of windows on my house this summer, new construction, doing it myself. What are the best, low maintenance, mid-priced, available in Wausau windows? I’m open to vinyl, fiberglass or possibly wood clad. I will not do business with Tundraland, otherwise I’m wide open.
[Website Editor Reply]Jeff, I don't really have windows nailed down for each county in the nation, but I can give you some suggestions and you can search google for "sunrise windows in Wausau Wisconsin" for instance and find the local companies that carry the brand relatively easily.
Vytex Window QualityI've come across your recommendations, Okna, Soft-Lite, Sunrise, Kensington, Polaris, and Vytex. Of these, or another, I'm looking for a solid frame, vinyl, that won't warp or sag, has a low profile (larger glass area), have large double-hung windows, old double brick walls, no issues with rotting etc just old single pane need to go. Any architectural details are also a benefit. So, with the above, what would you recommend? And who/where can we find a reputable installer? Please advise - I need help!
[Site Editor's Answer]Cat, Sunrise and Soft-Lite should both have reps in your area. Go through the whole list of recommendations and google "Vytex windows in Cincinnati, Ohio" for example and seeing what local companies come up who carry them. Call them up and ask them to come out and give you a bid.
Vytex vs Window NationWindow Nation has a Paramount window that we are considering putting on our house, but I can't find anything on them. Does anyone know if they are a good quality replacement for our home?
[Installer Response]The Paramount window is made by Vytex and rebranded by Window Nation. I believe it is an exclusive arrangement that they have. As far as performance and price, I'd put the Paramount right in between their Georgetown (entry level) and Heritage (mid range).
[2nd Installer Response]I installed for Vytex for a number of years and I think they make a quality product, all except their Georgetown model, which I don't like. The warranty they offer isn't the best, they charge $150 per trip for any warranty claims that happen a year after you purchase. They will send replacement parts through the mail for free, but that means you change them out yourself.
