Getting windows installed in Colorado and the salesman recommended I watch this video from you about Anlin windows. I decided on a Provia door but Anlin slider and window because of this review. Keep up the good work.
Today Jeff finally I just got 20 anlin Del Mar e series all installed today. I can’t say enough for all the advice information that I received from Dont fall for sleazy sales to financing to the best value window . To anyone who is on the market I recommend watch Jeff’s videos from sleazy sales and then financing especially the bull crap about 0 percent financing to the best warranty window companies. Then Jeff best product vinyl equals Anlin to aluminum equals Western System to fiberglass equals Fiberframe or infinity by Marvin. Once you find a window you want contact Jeff he might have a great installer. A bad installer equals bad window RIGHT JEFF. Maybe apply to be your general manager Jeff. Lol I’ve learned so much about this business. Thanks again Jeff.
Steve, you have been an astute student and follower of our channel. I am so glad you're loving your choice of windows. Yes, you need a GREAT installer to have a GREAT window project!!!! All the best!
I purchased Anlin Del Mar E windows from Houston Window Experts almost a year ago. I’m still very happy with my purchase and HWE was amazing to work with.
Great video. This has added to my anticipation of my install as I choose this product. Thanks for taking time out to make such an informative presentation.
I just visited Ringer windows. I live 6 minutes from their plant. And they happen to use Cardinal glass so this is good to hear! They have double strength glass and I don’t need to go over the top for sound. The house I’m building is in the country.
We just had the original 1998 aluminum frame dual pane windows replaced with Anlin Del Mar retrofit windows here in Phoenix. We really like them a lot so far. We do notice they helped a lot with those low frequency noise from the freeway nearby. The vinyl frames and glass do not feel cold to the touch in the house like the aluminum windows did. They slide open really smoothly and it feels like a new home now. The screens are hardly visible, sturdy and fit great. We may be able to actually open windows now without the fear of creatures like scorpions getting in. Glad we spent a little more to get really nice windows. Only dislikes are the slight green tint of the glass when viewed from outside and the flat vinyl frame on the outside covering the stucco seems a little wider than we would have liked. I would give then an 8.75 out of 10 rating.
I'm glad you are enjoying your windows. We don't sell that type of window in Texas that has the flat white frame around it. You must have a stucco house? There is another way that they can do it, but most companies don't bother because it takes more time. I hope you enjoy your windows for many years to come!
@@HoustonWindowExperts Yes basic flat stucco walls. At least we got the windows in Adobe color so they don't standout to bad against the stucco. Wonder what the optional way to do them would have been? This seemed like a pretty easy retrofit.
It will depend on your local governing codes. In texas, we can tear out the complete frame from your existing window and replace it with a new window. What they did in your case, is they left the frame in place and just inserted a new window inside of a window. To do that, you need a wider exterior frame to cover up the old frame it used to be in the opening.
@@HoustonWindowExperts Oh I get it now. THANKS.. Yes they look ok from the outside. They look great from inside the house. Thanks again for all the great videos you do!
I find your videos very helpful, after watching this one, I got a quote on Del Mar E from a local company in DFW. Total 39 windows. They are asking for 53K. If some of windows changed to picture windows and slider, it would reduce number of windows to 31 and quote down to 44K. I am just curious if this is reasonable price, $1200-1400 per window. Also got a quote from Marvin and they are asking 80K so I am sticking with Vinyl windows. Thanks!!
Jina, I'd be glad to evaluate more closely. Did they offer you a written proposal? Could you email it to me for review? At first glance, that sounds about right to me. My email address is jeff@houstonwindowexperts.com
@@HoustonWindowExperts Hmm. We just got a quote for 10 Del Mar-e windows in the DFW area for $18000 two days ago, although this does include a dark color (bronze?) on the outside, so about $1800 per window. The color added $3400 to the cost, so I assume the standard color windows would be ~$1500 per window. Our project is much smaller than yours, so that could add some cost per window. What I am saying, is our quote appears to be in the same ballpark as yours. I hope that helps.
HI JEFF NEED YOU TO EXPLAIN ABOUT ANLIN CASEMENT WINDOW'S / DETAILS OF WHOLE PRODUCT OF CASEMENT'S ASAP PLEASE CANT WAIT INTERESTED IN THAT ANLIN WINDOW THANKS
John, thank you for watching and for your question. I wish I could do that for you but I don't have that scheduled for quite a while yet. There are a lot of other videos we've already made their schedule ahead of this one. Do you not have a local dealer you can go take a look at the window?
John, Unfortunately the Anlin products are not available in your area. I might have a great window company in your area. Please check out JeffsList.com
I"ve had Anlin's in my home here in California for almost 20 years, they're great. My only problem now is, I'm moving to Texas and I can't find an Anlin carrier near Tyler? any ideas?
I like this review. However, Anlin only resells through limited window resellers. This means the smaller shops can control the pricing, unlike buying windows at Home Depot & Lowe's where pricing tends to be much better and you still get big brands like Pella, Anderson, and so on....So my only gripe is, where I live (Sacramento) you have to use a company that specializes in Home remodel products (i.e. Gutters, Windows, Roofing, HVAC, Plumbing, etc) ....>And I know that Geoff from Houston Window Experts has repeatedly said, never do business with a jack of all trades because window installing should be all they do and get it right the first time. Great product, bad sells model to give these jack-of-all-trades power over prices.
how are Andersen windows in the high heat climates such as Las Vegas? From my understanding it is not true Fiberglass, rather they are made of Fibrex: consisting of 40% wood fibers and the remaining 60% is made from thermoplastic polymer.
That's a nice way of putting it. The other 60% is actually vinyl! Their window does just as well as any other vinyl product would do. I think you're going to be happy with any high quality window you purchase.
so it's a wood / vinyl hybrid? Is it true you can only get the latest version of Fibrex if you buydirectly from Renewal by Andersen (I believe it is the 3rd and latest version)? For example, if I bought Andersen window from you Jeff, it would be an earlier version of the Fibrex and not the latest, most-up-to-date optimized Fibrex?
Renewal by Anderson is easily double the price of everyone else and their sales tactics of ..."the deal is only good today..." is lame. They quoted me a price after discounts of $106,000 and wanted a decision right then. My decision was to show them the door.
JEFF NEED TO KNOW EVERY THING ON ANLIN CASEMENT WINDOW'S PLEASE INC AND EXPAIN ALL OF FEATURES ON CASEMENT NEED 10 WINDOWS TO CHANGE ON MY HOME THANK' JEFF!
John, I do mention it briefly in this video. Everything I said about the first window is true about the casement window as well. The only difference is that it is hinged and swings outward. It also has the screen on the inside of the home instead of the outside. I'll make an Anlin casement window video sometime soon and post it here.
Have had our Anlin windows and slider a few months now and definitely a big improvement over the original windows. We have noticed the slider handle get pretty hot when the sun hits it and ots not even summer yet. Never had this issue with the original slider. Is this a known issue? Any solution to a hot handle... disappointed
@@HoustonWindowExperts yes Phoenix Az...it is facing the West but never experienced this with the old Slider. Just concerned because it barely hit 100 so far. Wonder what's gonna be like when we hit 115.
@@HoustonWindowExperts I had to wait until the sun hit the slider again. The glass and handle on the outside get pretty darn hot. The inside glass and handle are fine. So they are doing their job keeping the heat out of the house. Wonder if Anlin has any hot handle solutions? Thanks for your replies.
Let me make sure I'm understanding you... The inside of the handle and glass is cool? If so, what is your concern? The endurance of the handle on the outside?
Offgassing is not a big issue, as the offgassing experienced with vinyl windows is mostly due to the paints and finishes applied to the vinyl and not the vinyl itself.
@@HoustonWindowExperts thanks for writing back! One other thing is fiberglass framing worth double the cost? We are in the process of replacing windows and have a quote from Anlin and Marvin.
I Think I would have appreciated knowing about 'Anlin' Sooner ! 🫤 When I began watching, I expicitly mentioned I wanted, "The Most Glass with The Least amount of Frame" possible ! That was the only way I knew of at the time, to describe what I wanted. Where was 'ANLIN' Then ? 🤨. JaneLee - in Suburban Philadelphia 11/25/22
@@HoustonWindowExperts Marvin, and although we are very pleased with them, and they were very well installed, from what I've seen of Anlin I can't help but feel they are more of what I had in mind. Unfortunately at the time, I didn't know how to express myself more clearly 😟. Oh Well ! I don't mean to say I have remorse, just wish I had seen the 'Anlin' line first. Bottom line, I'm just venting. Sorry 😔! Thanks for replying. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. 🦃 JaneLee - in Suburban Philadelphia 11/26/22
