Am deep into window confusion. I need to make a decision. Please help. So far in Brooklyn I am getting higher quote for Anderson Woodwright than for Marvin Ultimate. This is for 9 double hung large windows (42″ X 74″) Am also looking at Trimline Eclipse. Need wood (pine) inside with bronze clad exterior.
-Any thoughts about Pella Architect Series – I do read some bad stuff on the internet. This installation is for a coop. Advise – Experience with each would be welcome.
Plus – Any idea which has a larger glass to frame ratio. I would prefer more visibility to wood.
– Screen options – question about advisability of paying more for the smaller mesh with claims of higher/clearer visibility.
– Need window that meets criteria (.3, .3) for 2009 tax credit.
– Also need 1 window this size for a bathroom window that sits over a tub/shower. So would have to be good with high interior moisture. This would need to be bronze exterior but white interior is fine.
Sorry for so many questions – I am going nuts with window choices!

thanks for the input iddelz. I have been to Windows We Are but not LWP. Are their estimates different? Any experience with either one. For some reason this discussion has doesn’t seem interesting to others. In what way do you think trimline – I’m looking at the eclipse is not “the best.” Am trying now to weigh trimline vs more expensive andersen and marvin. I keep hearing that Pella back-up to warranty is terrible. I never knew that windows were so complicated. We have been in our coop since 1984 and will probably be there for at least another 10 years. Just hope what I put in the windows increases the value of the coop. when and if we ever have to sell.
i’m with you. we’re replacing windows in our home and i’ve been to four different vendors as its been a v confusing experience. in the end, we’ve settled on trimline wood clad. there not the best but they last. LWP and Windows We Are are the two biggest trimline vendors in brooklyn. good luck!
