Replacement windows
Our house was build in 1972 and has the original aluminum framed sliders. We would like to replace the large window in the living room with a better unit that doesn't ice up on the severely cold days.
The question is what is a good brand model to replace it with here in SW Wisconsin? Pella, Anderson, Marvin, Weather Craft. I see the Weather Craft don't use metal spacers between the windows which is supposed to be a good thing if you have wood windows. Marvin makes some nice stain-able fiberglass ones. What other brands are good? I am guessing Crestline or Jeld Wend (which we installed in a detached garage and seem well made but...) are a middle grade window? We have Eagle windows in that were installed when the addition was put on and they are crap. Well, part of it was a poor job of installing them and part is they don't seal well in the joint between the double hung windows and they get condensation on the inside a lot.
Opinions? Facts?
