Does anyone have Anderson Replacement composite windows topped w/wood veneer? My husband and I are interested in replacing the original 1918 windows in our Craftsman. Keeping the double-hung look is important to us. So far, we've gotten quotes on a new construction (full insert) Pella window and replacement Anderson windows. The Pella windows, imo, look better. They are also thousands of dollars more. My question, is this: do you have the Anderson wood veneer replacement windows? If so, did you paint or stain them? How long have you had them? Does the internal finish hold up and still look good? I'm concerned about the durability of this thin, wood veneer.

Any Personal Experience with Noise Blocking Exterior Replacement Windows? Help me find Noise Reducing Windows Most of the Windows in my house are 5x3 sliders. My #1 concern is noise blockage, but I know I don't want to pay a ton to modify my existing window opening (e.g. no interior window build out). I am not buying laminate (too much for too little) & I don't think using something like soundproofwindows.com (again, a window "additive") is what I want. Window "plugs" are also out. I need a real replacement window (Pella, Anderson, etc...) that blocks noise really well. My preference is vinyl. I also am concerned about the surrounding area around the windows where they connect to wall. Is there are good insulator, i.e. some kind of glue or foam? I don't want to overspend, but I am not afraid of trying something that is "new". I am looking for posts from people that have actually replaced their windows, not just internet search results that give information I can find myself. If you have PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with some kind of noise proof window replacement, please help me out. Good answers so far, I appreciate it. So far I have people that are happy with sears and a foreman who mentioned Milgard. Any other brand suggetions? Any new "trendy" concepts? Also, if you dont mind mentioning approx. cost, that would be great. Who do you work for Tru_blue, lol. Okay, Everything Tru_Blue mentioned about types of glass and the means for sound reduction is in line with what I have read online. That answers the technical aspect of what exactly aids in the reduction of sound. These are important aspects to cover when looking for new windows I agree. That said, I need some practical advice on where to get these types of windows at a reasonable price. I may have to ask that seperatly. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON WHERE TO BUY HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENT REPLACEMENT REPLACEMENT WINDOWS THAT BLOCK SOUND WELL and have some of the techincal aspects/options listed by tru_blue? Again, personal experience is king.

Good double hung sash replacement kits for early windows? My house was built in 1928 and has the original wood double hung, single lite, windows in front. The rear windows are not visible from the street and had the sashes removed and replaced with a kind of insert made from aluminum. Probably done in the 70s or 80s and the orignal window frames these are sitting in still look good. We've been restoring the front original windows and wanted something to match in the back to replaced the aluminum inserts. I originally bought some Anderson Woodwright 400 series replacement window inserts for the rear windows. After installing the first one I instantly didn't like it because you could tell it was an insert. The wood to glass ratio was way off and drastically reduced the visible glass. I sold these to my neighbor who didn't mind that look. So now I'm considering a sash replacement kit like Jeld Wen's Zap Pack sash kits. I like how narrow the jam liners are. I think this might give me a real close to original look so they will match my front windows inside and out. But I haven't seen these in person yet and am still trying to locate a dealer nearby. Who else makes sash kits like these? I'm interested in a good fit and finish with a wood interior and clad exterior. And I'm more interested in the proper look for the house than an airtight fit. I've seen some complaints about this type of kit not being as air tight as some would expect. My house is 80 years old and I'm realistic about what to expect in regards to being air tight. I'm more interested in the benefits of the double pain Low E glass. Any thoughts on this type of kit and who makes them? I see Marvin has a similar kit but the jam liners look much thicker. Thanks

Window grills for old windows -? We recently moved into a house with old casement replacement windows. The windows have no window grills (what looks like it used to hold window panes in place). I don't know the brand of the window (anderson, pella, off brand etc) and was wondering if anyone knew of a place to purchase some that we could even just glue in - it looks so bad from the curb without them. Thanks!

age old question: replacement windows or new construction windows.? I am looking to install new windows in my house. I have done a some research, but need some additional help. i am debating doing new construction or replacement windows. i understand ultimately that it comes down to costs differences. right off the bat: in terms of quality of build, and efficiency is a new contruction window better than a replacement window? right now, i am leaning towards going with Anderson 400 series tilt-wash double-hung windows. Im my community (i live in a townhouse) almost everyone installs replacement windows. However, i plan on staying here for quite some time and am not looking for the cheapest possible option. Quality, efficiency and look all matter greatly to me...as well as resale value on my place when it comes time to sell. So a friend of my mine who is a framer by trade wants to put in all new construction windows in my house. His idea is to take a measurement of the rough opening and then order the next smaller size window. In this case, I am going with Anderson b/c he gets a good deal on them. So when we took measurements and then referred to the anderson book, we found that for all of my 13 windows, the next smaller size was only 1/2" difference for both height and width. with that, to make up the 1/4" difference on each side, he wants to rip some 2x4 to fill in the 1/4" difference. if it even needs it. so basically... from what ive gathered, new construction windows will be almost a direct fit right into the original framing of the house. doing new construction will also allow me to make sure that the framing is structuraly sound. going with replacement, i might not find that out b/c from what ive learned, the old window frame is still used and only they only just pop out the trackings and glass. i understand that we will have to take siding down in order to get access to the nailing flange and to nail in the new window...but we shouldnt have to trim the siding b/c the frame is staying the same size. so is my logic correct? does this all make sense and sound like a much better way for me to replace the windows in my house is with new construction? the cost difference in materials is going to be about 2000-2500. what does everyone think? stick with replacements or go the new construction route?

I am a licensee in a window replacement business. I need help with my overhead, i.e., advertising, etc.? I have been in business approximately 1 year and I have been able to keep my head above water, but I don't have enough capital to cover my advertising, additional equipment and installers. I need help with the additional funds. I am a customer first based business, my customers are always satisfied, or to the best of my ability. We sell Anderson windows and doors, which are the #1 seller in North America and I have a great team of professionals out of Atlanta who help me with any problems that I may have, except of course with money.

if a company glues in the glass pack on a window, how do you get it out without destroying the moldings, etc.. the glass is fogging and needs replacement, but by the time I get the old glass and molding out, I practically need a new window and they are very expensive - Anderson 3 pane, dual glazed.

was I ripped off on Andersons? I added 2 add'l Anderson double hung 200 series 30x46's to the windows that were included and at first I was told that we would be charged their cost for the window at around $260 ea and $50 to install, then the price seemed to change to $360 ea (The contractor wasnt aware that they went up) and $40 ea for the screens. That seems like a lot for a double hung, I saw the same window at home depot for $265 + $20 for the screen, maybe they were replacements and I am getting new construction, but still seems a lot more.
