Well, at least you are now admitting that fading can happen.

Yes, in dark brown. Are you trying to say paint doesn't fade? Get real.


Of course it fades and then you paint it. What do you do when vinyl fades?


Noone remodels thinking 150 years in advance. Are you some kind of loon?
And I say you're wrong about a wood window lasting longer than a vinyl.
Remember, I had installed thousands of windows. I could count on one hand
the amount of vinyl windows I took out of a home. The reason being is they
bought a cut rate vinyl window, kind of like what you have in your home.
I've handled more quality material than you've ever dreamed of, and the
typical homeowner like yourself wouldn't know quality if it's staring you in
the face.


How long have vinyl windows been installed in homes? I should hope you
aren't taking that many out already, since they are a relatively new product
as compared to wood or metal.



Many people regard as a defect? Exactly how many people have you discussed
windows with? I've dealt with literally thousands of people in my career,
you are the first one I've heard this from. I'm sure there are more which
think true divided lites are nicer, for what reason, who knows. I've put in
Marvin bow windows to the tune of $14k my cost, only to hear the owners cry
about the finisher is charging $800 to stain and poly. They complained
about how hard it was going to be to clean all the corners of the panes.
You talk about changing the color of the mullions, are you truely insane? I
can't think of one person with an older home that ever had such a thought.
Wait, I seen one house that did paint the windows a tan instead of white.
Ok, you got me.


You are now showing that your range of experiences is not as broad as
you claim. You've only ever seen white windows?!


No, the problem is you need to walk out your front door and see technology.
You probably would think you were having a dream into the future.

You know very little about the technology and improvements that's out there.
You have proven it. Until you got something useful and factful to say,
please refrain from making an ass out of yourself.


I have said many useful things, among which are that vinyl windows are
not available with true divided lites. You sound almost like a religious
zealot in favor of vinyl windows in that you refuse to acknowledge their
drawbacks. This is not surprising from someone who made a living
installing them.
