And as Forrest Gump once said, "that's all I have to say about that." :)Įssentially, the Mezzo window series is an updated and improved Excalibur series (which was not a good window). However, my understanding of this performance data point is that it is achieved using a "slightly unorthodox" method. 04 air infiltration rating, which is admittedly very good. It is a nice enough looking window that is often sold at a nice mid range price point. Eighty percent of Alside windows that I receive inquiries about are for the Mezzo series. The Alside Mezzo is Alside's "newest window series" (no longer really new) that is the company's best seller BY FAR. I think this is my selection, the Simonton option, followed by the Great Lakes 5000. The Grandview 5000 is also a good window, but no better than the Prism Platinum. I would personally stay away from the Sheffield, although I like their Ultramaxx series, which is their step up window. Great Lakes Grandview 5000 Series (w/triple pane): $8200 Nearly all vinyl windows come with a limited lifetime warranty so the fact that he said most companies offer a 7 to 10 year warranty is wrong. Melissa, $420 per window is a decent price, but I think for $500 a window you could probably get better windows that will last longer. None of the windows would have grids and they would all only be the half screen not the full screen. Those would be white with the wood grain vinyl on the other side. The window he priced is the dual-pane (NOT the triple), white on white vinyl with the exception of the 6 windows highlighted in red. In terms of warranty, they stated they have a lifetime warranty. The pricing includes all windows, installation, caulking, new trim coil, foam insulation around, and haul away. Hi, we have 24 windows and got a bid on Alside Sheffield and the bid came in at $9,750. Estimated Alside Sheffield Cost: $ 450 to $ 600 installed. Compare the Sheffield to the Silverline 3100 Series - see all Silverline windows pricing. The Sheffield frame is pretty bulky and lacks visual appeal, although it will provide better strength and durability compared with the Excalibur. The Sheffield is slightly thicker than the Excalibur and the frame contains more chambers, but the seals and weatherstripping are poor. To keep production costs low, all four sides have the same extrusion, which results in a weaker frame. A lot of window contractors don't like the snap or clip in sill and overall construction quality. The Alside Sheffield Series is a bargain priced window that few would recommend if you're looking for a something that will provide good long term value. The Harvey Classic is a solid vinyl window, it's certainly the winner in this horse race. Any opinion on which is the better option?īryan - Homeowner in Massachusetts - from 2009 īryan, the Alside Excalibur is not a good window, so I won't comment on this bid. I have quotes on 2 bay windows and 12 double hungs. I have it down to 2 options which are totally different prices. (assumes medium sized window and normal installation) Estimated Alside Excalibur Cost: $ 400 to $ 550 installed. Compare the Excalibur to Window World prices. They are a decent window for a rental property of a house flipper, but not something for a long term replacement window. The company seems to stand behind their products, despite the issues the windows have - thin walls, AI numbers around 0.18 and poor seals. One of the best features is the narrow sightlines, which allows for less frame and more glass. The Excalibur is considered a low to mid-grade window, although it is the most popular Alside window series (and the entry level window often sold by Window World). The Alside Excalibur Series generally receives mixed reviews from industry experts. I'm in Ocala, Florida and need to replace 4 windows. In the meantime, here is my list of good and great windows in case you want to continue your search. Let's reassess when you get the Sunrise bid. Yes, typically only one dealer, but it's worth a call to Okna headquarters to ask if they have any additional dealers, you never know. Hi there - sooooo Okna is the much better window, but man, $2K man for 6 windows.that's a tough price point disparity. I also requested a quote for the Sunrise Standard based on your recommendation to other people. Is this true? Or do you think I could get a better deal on the Okna? My preferred would be the Okna based on all the reviews I’ve read, but do they really justify paying an additional 2000$? I’ve read that there is normally inly one retailer per area authorized to sell Okna.
