First off, the salesman Russell was great. Very knowledgeable and informed on all aspects of what he was doing. I explained his was the first of three bids I was planning to get and he didn't get pushy. He did still try to close the sale on our first meeting but that's his job. He was also easy to contact and prompt to return calls. After talking to him for a while you start to wonder why in the world is this guy selling windows?! (Not knocking window salesmen) An interesting guy and a big part of the reason I chose Window World.
Next, the windows. I'm not a home improvement type person, but they seem to me to be very good quality for the price and are a huge improvement over the old 1970's era wooden single pane windows I had. I could immediately tell a huge difference in how they keep the wind and cold out. Several of my friends in the construction industry were very impressed with the build and quality when I showed them. Time will tell further, but based on what I see, and lots of research, they are a huge step above basic builder grade quality.
Last, the installation. The windows arrived ahead of plan and installation was scheduled quick and easy. They guys called when they were on the way and arrived on time. Overall everything went well. I did ask them to re caulk one of the windows as the bead was pretty ugly and got dirt in it. They took care of it right away. I later noticed one of the screens had a tear in it and they came back promptly and took care of it. Based on my experience, I expect to get good service in the future if needed.
A few small problems. One of the installers was standing on my front porch smoking. I believe you should ask the customer first if that's OK. I did politely ask him not to smoke. I guess I should have also asked him not to leave cigarette butts in my driveway. When they took the windows off the truck, a bunch of broken glass fell off and was left on my driveway. Per their paperwork, a normal amount of post construction clean up is the customer's responsibility but broken glass covering the width of my driveway is beyond normal post construction clean up. I didn't notice that until a few hours later so I just cleaned it up myself but I did contact the project manager and let him know about those issues. Another thing, as noted on their paperwork, they are not responsible for damage to shrubs or landscaping. I pointed out a particular shrub to the installer and they said no problem, they could work around it, but it was stepped on and destroyed.
As I stated though, I consider these to be small problems and will be purchasing more windows from Window World in the future and would recommend them.

"After considerable research I chose Continental because they had the best engineered siding system I could find. My experiences with their siding presentation led to my purchasing 13 windows, a sliding glass door, and all new covered gutters from Continental. The installation crews were absolutely professional and I couldn't be more satisfied with my investment."

Hard water stains are caused by hard water. Hard water contains a lot of minerals, like calcium and magnesium. When water on your glass surfaces dries out, the minerals stay behind and stick to the glass. This results in a residue that looks like white cloudy or streaky spots. Call a pro to install a water softener to banish hard water problems.
Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.
Despite their popularity and modern styling, glass railings have a few drawbacks. The first is their high initial cost. While they cost little to maintain, they can be costly to install. Also, scratches and chips in the glass are highly visible and require repairs. Additionally, glass railings require frequent cleaning to maintain their good looks.
The average mirror has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. After that, the coating begins to deteriorate, losing its reflective properties. Acrylic mirrors have a slightly shorter lifespan of seven to 10 years. Higher-quality acrylic sheets with UV-resistant properties have lifespans similar to those of your average mirror. By maintaining your mirrors and keeping them out of direct sunlight when not in use, you can extend their lifespan. Some mirrors can last for decades.
Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.
