and to add to what Dork says, the guys that install marvin and pella probably do not even touch the slew of other stuff out there.

Hey all, so neither Marvin nor Anderson make all aluminum double hung windows, which is what our building requires. Any other brands you know of that are better than Crystal for this type of window? Thank you!

i would go back an try to understand what has gone wrong with Crystal that some on here have complained about them and see if you can make them work for you. i installed two of them on either side of another kind of aluminum window in the 1990’s and we had no issues and i know they have behaved as they should because i am still in touch with the owner. i have a friend who knows a lot about different window manufacturers and will ask more when i talk to him; he will know the name of another manufacturer. i am worried that some of these manufacturers may be more regional, so it may be hard to find one.
