HR-Atrium windows

12 years ago

Hello,

I'm just trying to help other folks who are thinking of buying and installing Atrium Aluminum windows (Home Depot seling them under HR name) - DON'T DO IT! I'm building contractor and I installed 100s of windows and NEVER had any problems, 'til I installed those...What a lousy window.

I was thinking that Home Depot went from Better Build (MI) windows to HR (Atrium) because of better quality but I was wrong - this is by far the worst windows that I ever install: when customer start using them bottom sach scratch frame and jam, when they are closed you can move bottom sash beck and forth....Bad - never again.

I wondering what would make you think that any window from a box store would be good quality?... Especially of the new construction/builder grade variety. Just sayin'.
