华人厂生产的窗户 vs 美国品牌窗最近想买窗户,quote了几家店,发现华人厂的窗户便宜很多。15扇大大小小的窗户大概4000左右(没有加厚玻璃)。跟美国店quote了一下,大概要8000,9000(milgard, simonton windows,用加厚玻璃来达到更好的隔音效果)。请问大家用的是哪些牌子的窗户?华人店的窗户用久了质量如何?还是美国牌子的窗户比较好?打算换非套窗所以安装费很贵。希望能找到相对经济且质量不错的窗户。如果有好的经验能否推荐湾区比较好的窗户店吗?谢谢!我觉得我quote的好贵啊
We replaced our windows for Andersen (not renewal by Andersen). The pricing for Andersen are about 30% more than our locally made aluminum windows. I would say they are what they are priced for--- quality solid wood construction. Andersen window can last for 20+ years. My neighbor's are 10+ old Andersen still look like new. The lower end vinyl windows will not last that long.The most important thing is to find a good installer, how they are installed can make a HUGE difference. Full frame replacement is always preferred than just replacing the pocket. It only took my contractor 3 days to replace all windows and inside outside frames so my labor fee was flat.
