I had a quote for Andersen Windows, but my contractor says he can get me Marvin Integrity windows with his discount at a local lumber yard for cheaper, but I want to know if Marvin Integrity is good or better than Andersen 400 series?
Anyone know?
Thanks!

| I have used various brands of windows over the years. So far I like the Marvin Integrity windows (pultruded fiberglass) the most. I do not want to use wood anymore. Too many problems. |

Do a search on windows, Andersen and Marvin specifically, at www.jlconline.com. You'll find a lot of comments both ways about those windows, and a lot of others. Do your research, decide which one you are most comfortable with considering cost, performance, looks, features, etc., and go with it. Don't look back and ignore anyone who tells you you made a mistake!
I will say this from my own research. Casement and awning windows are the tightest and have the lowest infiltration rate. Check out my comments in these threads

Thanks Dmaceld. We decided on the Marvins. We went to the showroom and I really liked the way the windows opened so smoothly. The Andersen ones we had tried where tougher to crank out. Also, we liked what we read about fiberglass, and I liked the look of the window.
