Window advise on new house
I'm building a new house. My architect is awesome but admits he
doesn't know which brand of window is best suited for this house. He's a NY architect used to huge night clubs (he designed Scores...), apartment buildings...and this house is going to be on the cliffs of California overlooking the ocean. The weather is usually pretty mild year round but when storms come in off the ocean the whole world starts to rock and roll. The two biggest weather concerns are the continuous exposure to salt from the ocean spray and storms which bring big winds with horizontal (and sometimes upwardly vertical rains). Everything that can does rust. It is very common for houses which aren't sealed properly to rot out from the inside if they're made from stucco. My current house has wood windows which are actually surviving at 12 years old. I believe vinyl will be the better way to go. But how about brands? Millguard vs Anderson vs Jeld-Wen vs ???. Any information, opinion, good and bad experiences... would be appreciated. I have called many window shops and stores locally as well as Home Depot but they all boast about their brands and I'm sure there's got to be a difference. Thanks for any help. VETMANSHU |
