vinyl window question... - The Firearms Forum

Ok... here it is.
Which of these 2 brands is better?

1. Thermastar by Pella
or
2. American Craftsman by Anderson windows ?

If it were Pella VS Anderson i would say Anderson...but its not. Its a cheaper version of Pella actually built by Pella or American Craftsman which is just merely owned by Anderson.....

Opinions Anyone?

Both brands have the (low-e)sp? coating and are Argon(sp)? filled....

Not a clue here - these are real glass windows, or plastic insurance rock bouncers? Let those that toss the first stone see their house shatter. Someone said that; can't remember whom.

I think both are cheaper versions of the original. I had some problems with Anderson (the original) a while back but have never used Pella. I guess it's like Fords and Chevys, which ine is the best?

I've only installed them, so I don't know.

they are probably equally good. troy said they are both good...

guess it depends on the style ya want mike!

troy says that pella offers blinds inside the window.

Whichever one costs less is the most important detail there. Next, which one comes with a free hat? Really; just how good is customer service with each company and who has the better package when your wallet comes to bat?
