More on Thermal Industries windows prices. Opinion from a Contractor"I have five window companies I use on a regular basis and haven't experienced any major problems with them so far. Minor issues can be experienced with any window, but I am talking about the smaller things like weather-stripping or damage during shipping, things that are quickly resolved through customer services. The windows I recommend all offer good customer services and warranties and these include Ply Gem, their Great Lakes windows only, Gorell, Simonton, Sunrise and Thermal Industries."
Thermal Industries Windows"We live outside of Cincinnati and we are considering a local company that sells Thermal Industries windows. However, I can't find much information on them."
Contractor ResponseHonestly, I don't love TI windows. The design is outdated, they use a pocket sill that is just not a good long term design feature. They went through bankruptcy a few years ago. I would keep looking. Even a window like Reliabilt from one of the big box stores would be preferable to TI.
Contractor ReviewI've found that all the Thermal Industry windows are similar, the only difference is the options available for each one. I am not overly impressed with these windows, they have a snap in sill. Personally I would go with a window with a sloped sill from OKNA, SoftLite, Sunrise or Gorell.
Thermal Industries vs. SimontonI am currently dealing with a sales man who I think is working for Thermal Industries because he is trying to push me towards the 530 Series. I know they also do Simonton, so I got a quote on both. The estimates are to change my double casement windows with a large single slider. The Thermal Industries prices are $600 for each window or $1,150 if I want to change the casement to a double hung option. The Simontons were $700 per window and $1,340 for two double hungs. I am not sure which one is the right choice. Does anyone have any advice on these window companies?
[Contractor Reply]Why don't you consider a Simonton an upgrade? Personally I find the Thermal Industries windows aren't the best quality, while the Simontons are on the higher end of the scale.
