โก๏ธ๐ชWOOD WINDOW SHOWDOWN!!๐ช โก๏ธ
Youโve most likely heard of Andersen or Pella Windows; which are often considered the โGold Standardโ of windows. Iโm here to tell you thatโs not exactly trueโฆ.
Every window manufacturer has different lines of windows, each meant to target different solutions. Andersen denominates between 100, 200, 300, & 400 series. ProVia denominates between Ecolite, Aspect, Endure, & Aeris.
Most replacement windows installed in this region are vinyl. Vinyl windows are generally efficient, and offer good value. We prefer the ProVia Endure vinyl window. Itโs high quality, extremely durable, efficient, and has a great warranty. Which says a lot about what to expect.
Wood windows fill a different niche. While theyโre considerably more expensive, theyโre beautiful. Super high end look, typically more glass, and donโt feel plastic. For this purpose, we typically opt with ProViaโs Aeris Window - a direct competitor to Andersenโs 400 series. More affordable, too.
Did you know Andersenโs top of the line window only offers, 20 years on glass, 10 years on non glass components, 5 years on wood exteriors, and only 2 years on installation. Embarrassing, for a window thatโs often sold at double the price. Pella is a little bit better on their warranty, but still doesnโt come close to ProVia. Full lifetime on the window, wood, glass, hardware, screen, etc. 15 year on the finish. We back it up with a 10 year workmanship guarantee. This absolutely blows both other manufacturers out of the water.
While thereโs dozens of much lower quality manufacturers, Andersen & Pella no longer take the cake as the best. The ProVia Aeris window is more efficient, more durable, more affordable, and offers a better warranty. After a certain point, youโre paying for a โbrand nameโ - not increased quality.
