>Had them in my house in California - sliders - and really liked them. A world of improvement over the aluminum sliders they replaced.

Now, I have them - doublehung - in my Ohio house. First winter in NE Ohio, and I'm really impressed with their weathertightness, and their insulating qualities. This house is about fourteen years old, and the windows operate like new. No problems, no hassles. Great product!

>I put all vinyl casement windows in the four-season porch I just put on our house last fall. They're great - no breeze through them (and we get wind here) hung very easily, seal well, all that kind of stuff.
