Windows? (vinyl, Home Depot, Lowes, insulated)

[#41]

I wanted to branch off a bit from my Room Addition post because I never realized picking out vinyl windows would be a big deal. Boy was I wrong.

So, keeping in mind I am on a tight budget, can anyone suggest specific brands of windows? I saw some at Home Depot/Lowes that I thought looked perfectly fine...until I got home and researched a bit. I do not need nor cannot afford top of the line windows. I realize, with that in mind, I will not get top of the line windows. I'm OK with that. I just want decent windows that aren't total garbage.

I was looking for two 32x54 (or so) and two 36x54 (or so). I say "or so" because the length has to be less than 60" so it could even be 59.5".

Either way, is there any chance I can get this for ~$250/window?

Edit - Should have mentioned. Either double hung or Single hung are fine. Seems single are often harder to find than double hung (at least at local HD/lowes). Would prefer grilles in top but none in bottom but not really a big deal either way. I see some have argon gas in them so that would be fine also.

You'll have a LOT of choices in brand

Find a maker close to you.

And the WORK required to remove/install is about the same.

What are the windows in the rest of the house?

There's nothing worst than making an addition LOOK LIKE an addition! Keep continuity.

2/8X4/6 and 3/0X4/6, those sizes seem rather short for the room you describe. I'd definitely be looking at 5/2's for the height.

Anderson Silverline double hung low e glass argon filled can be had for under $250.00 a window. I paid 140 and 150 a window for sizing near yours at a builder supply place. Had to custom order some 73.5 inch high ones and average cost on 6 was $250.00 each.

I am happy with the fit and quality.

Insulated glass is typically two or more panes.

Thanks. I didn't even notice they were open today. I'll try to call.

Anyone ever heard of them though??? Just curious if they're better than the average Home Depot or lowes windows?

Home Depot and Lowes sells a variety of windows made by a variety of manufacturers.
