WUDH means a full Dbl Hung unit with frame. Personally and i do not sell Marvin any longer but i would ask the weathershield guy why he bothered to show up. I would stay away fromn Weathershield like the plague(do a search on here for Weathershield) and I also have no use for the Jeldwen Lines other people will come on here and say the like thier Jeldwens but and this is my opinion only i would not use them. Neither company as far as i am concerned builds a quality tilt pac let alone new construction unit.

Thank you. why did you quit selling Marvins? the Weather Shield guy was recommended by my contractor. This guy is an "old" window guy and just happens to be selling Weather Shield.

I moved to another company and Marvin is not one of the brands we sell here. We do mostly all high end custom wood and aluminum curtain wall, storefront etc on high end buildings.I had sold Weathershield some years ago and many people i know that purchased them are not happy with them for one reason or another, mainly durability and service. The were all sold on Long Island which can have very harsh weather conditions, so they do get beatin up pretty good which i feel is a good test.

Afsa: What do you think about the Marvin tilt pack and do you remember how many price drops there are for Marvins?
What is your favorite wood window now?

I am going to look at Weather Shields installs today.

Have you or anyone seen the new Weathershield product vinyl exterior wood interior. All the Weather shield folks seem to have problems with drafts. Are people still experiencing this?

As far as Tilt Pacs, Marvin makes the best i have scene. They will be pricey but you need to remember that it is a retro fit and a custom product and you will be touching nothing else in the home other than applying a new jamb liner and sash.I work for a company now that sells LePage windows and while i think they are really a great product at a excellent price point i do not come on here pushing them as i mainly try and just give advice from my own experience as asked. I am not as versed as oberon on the performance data of windows or glass but my knowledge comes more from practical experience of selling the product and listening to peoples positives and negatives on product and having dealt with the window manufacturers distributors and or service departments directly. That's my story and i am sticking to it.

Good Morning,

I am currently exploring Sash replacement kits for my home but I have been trying to find some recent opinions on them. I was wondering if you decided to go with a tilt-Pac. If so how do you like it and which brand did u choose.

Thanks

Take a look!

unbelievable, a fountain of misinformation. In one post your spaming fiberglass windows in a post about Tilt or Sash Pacs and the next your slamming fiberglass windows. Make up your mind will you!
