United windows 8000 series




















Michael - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Michael, while United is more known for making building quality products, I can't speak to the quality of the sliding door. Many of the products sold out of Lowes and Home Depot are relatively cheaply made products.

I know Harvey makes a good window and door, as does Andersen. In those cases, you are getting what you pay for, and a portion of what you are paying for is the name and marketing of the companies. I can't answer that question, but if money is tight, it might be worth going with the cheaper option and making sure that the install goes smoothly.

I wish I had a more definitive answer for you. Thank you for your service to our country! Is Simonton a better window than United? If I want to price a higher quality window than Simonton , what manufacturers would you recommend? What level of quality do you recommend that we invest in for this project? I would definitely recommend going with the Simonton option, even if you aren't in your forever home.

It's not like Simonton is the most expensive window out there, it's more in that mid range and is appropriate for your timeline. Tim - Site Editor - from United Series vs Silverline Hi Editors, I'm planning to replace the vinyl siding on my 25 year old two-story house and the Silver-line single hung windows that are on it. The house is about 25 years old with more than half the window seals broken and taking moisture. I am looking at the United series Double Hung windows with nailing flange and built in J channel.

Will removal of the Silver-line window allow for the setting of the United without touching the existing jams and trim? I have sixteen windows and one slider to replace. Your thoughts on the series needed. Jerry - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Jerry, United windows are more of a low end vinyl window and not a window that I would recommend putting in your home. They will certainly be better than your old Silverlines, but they're not going to off you the sort of long term value that you should be looking for in a window.

Without seeing the existing windows, I couldn't say whether it would affect the existing jams and trim. Certainly a contractor could come out and tell you. I would get a few out there to get a consensus on this question and to offer up some additional brands and bids to compete with the United. That is great advice. It is interesting that last month I had one window company come, Unified Windows in New Jersey, and they only presented and pushed one brand of windows, Ultra Tite2, which I had never heard of.

They wouldn't even discuss other brands. Plus their installation reviews online are mixed. So that is why my search continues. Based on your advice it sounds like I'm doing the right thing which is good to know! Dennie - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Different companies are structured in different ways. United Windows makes their own vinyl windows, so that's all they sell.

Other contractor type companies might be dealers for a number of brands. It totally depends, there is no single formula, which can make it even more confusing. Btw, United is probably a company you can pass in.

I would appreciate your thoughts and opinion. Thank you. John - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Hi John, I have to tell you that both of the selections you are asking about are considered builder grade windows, that is a lower cost lower quality window. All of these windows are solid vinyl windows that will serve you much better than either the United or the Reliabilt. What brand of windows would you recommend? I got a quote for united series, MGM sienna windows and revere windows.

I am so confused!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated Maria - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Response] Hi Maria, there are certainly lots of options out there and the process can get more than a little confusing. All three window brands you mentioned are in the lower end of the vinyl window range, however we are talking about a rental so you probably aren't looking to put a ton of money into the project. If it were me, I would go with something like a Simonton window, maybe their VantagePointe series, or their mid range Reflections series.

Simonton makes decent windows and with proper installation, it should serve your interests well. The other company that is local to your state is Vytex and they make very decent windows and its very possible that a dealer in your area would offer competitive pricing on one of their window models. I would definitely call up the company, ask for the local rep or dealer and get a bid from them for comparison. Let me know what you find!

Dane - Site Editor - from United vs Crystal Looking for 12 replacement double hung windows , plus converting 2 to a bay The Alside Excaliburs and United s were really close in price, then the Crystal Series was about half that.

I'm not sure which I should go with and what the differences are. The United rep said they use shims and caps on every window instead of simply nailing them in. Is that a big deal? Excaliburs have a better warranty. I don't really know much about the Crystals, they can't be as good for that much less. They all have various window series, basically a premium line, a standard one, and then a bargain.

For the most part, big differences in price from one estimate to another are because you're comparing across quality lines. I'd go back and ask them about the features to figure out what level of window you're looking for before you compare the costs. To be honest, none of the three brands you mentioned are something I would recommend to customers of mine. Mike - Contractor in Delaware - from United vs.

I have 4 casements , a double slider, a 9 foot patio door and 2 picture windows. The quotes are all pretty similar, with pretty much the same warranties and features. I'm not sure which to go with. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there on United. Nancy - Homeowner - from [Contractor Response] A lot depends on the contractor. CertainTeed is now made by MI , and I'm not a fan. I don't know a lot about B F Rich. United is a middle of the road window, they aren't great but not horrible.

Carter - Contractor - from [2nd Response] I used to use United windows a lot. They are mostly in New Jersey. They are a nice, solid product , that's what I put on my own house. I used CertainTeeds once because a customer insisted and I will never do it again. I want a good window without laying out a ton of money. Aimee - Homeowner - [Contractor Response] Excalibur is a low quality builder's window.

The design is poor and it has high air leakage rates. Style and strength are not sacrificed by adding Brick mold exterior, lift rails, welded frames and sashes, screen, insulated glass, and silicone glazing.

Some of the options offered are grids separating the glasses to allow easy cleaning, Low-E glass, specialty glass such as obscured or tempered glass, Oak light or dark or Cherry interior laminates, and decorative FrameWorks a vinyl casing system that provides the luxurious look of wood for a lower price.

United offers a limited lifetime guarantee for their products and they guarantee that the windows they sell are free from defects and are expected to maintain their condition resisting peeling, corrosion, rotting, and warping. When a material is deemed defective because of manufacturing, that product will be replaced and installed free. Misuse and abuse of products are certainly not part of the warranty. Prices of window products at United Windows differ according to type, color, size, and features.

Thus, it is necessary to compare prices of various United window types and to put products side by side in order to see the pros and cons. When it comes to warranty, United offers different warranties depending on the model, as most of them give their products a certain length of warranty years based on materials and confidence. Therefore, the price of the end product you will get is dependent on your careful selection and inspection.
