Discussion about
What can you say about the following window manufacturers? I'm looking to replace my windows with tilt-and-turn picture windows, and find it hard to decide which one to go with: Capri Windows CitiQuiet Skyline Windows WindowsWeAre Bay Ridge Windows Quality and noise reduction is important, as is price -- any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Someone else perhaps can comment on the specifics, but your question/list conflates manufacturers and suppliers. As I understand it, CitiQuiet and Skyline manufacture and install windows; the others listed supply and install windows from third parties, including the "usual suspects" (Andersen, Marvin, Kolbe, Pella, etc.). So the for the latter three entities the answer likely will depend on what manufacturer you are considering and, even then, which model.

i used Windows We Are about 8 yrs ago. they own majority stake in the manufacturer they use. their standard replacement windows were very good in sound blocking a busy 8 lane street, parkway, and worked great. they have become more expensive recently, got a quote a few months ago, but still a steal compared to CitiQuiet as those just charge $1K more per windows just to come to manhattan.

Thanks ab -- unfortunately it turns out they can't help me because my windows are too wide :( So I have to choose from the first three.

Has anyone had experience with Panorama Windows ? I need to replace windows throughout my apartment and they , along with Skyline and maybe one other vendor, are approved by the Board. Any thoughts on quality/service/value/? Pre war building if that matters. Thanks!

I used Panorama to replace 3 windows in a prewar co-op. I chose their fiberglass casement windows which very closely resemble the "special windows" (per LPC) that were in the apartment originally. On a one to ten scale, I'd give them a 9. My only complete with the windows was that there is no screen option for the casement style windows due to the hardware. Some may not have an issue with this, though. The windows themselves are great, very quiet, very strong and they look amazing.

Thanks earo. Happy to hear that you had a good experience with them. Like you, we need to conform to a specific style/type. I would like to get screens , but really am just hoping for a solid, well-manufactured and serviced product. Ugh, window replacement is not something that I want to do more than once!
