Certainteed or Simonton Windows and Patio door

[dperry77]

I need some help deciding between the two. Anyone have any opinions for me? I have to choose between these 2. The supplier is recommending Simonton over Certainteed? Please help. Maybe they are comparable?
Who offers the better warranty?

Simonton is probably the better choice between the 2. I believe Simonton has a 20 yr warranty at 100% and after that it diminishes every 20 years, or something like that, to 50% cost.

Simonton has a nice glass breakage warranty if you buy their double strength glass.

Both certainteed and Simonton make multiple lines of windows so comparing the companies to each other isn't apples to apples. Compare product lines then we'll talk ;)

Personally I install the Simonton Prism Platinum (same as Simonton Reflections 5500). There is no better vinyl window on the market IMO.

I will need to see what line of Simonton. I will find out. Do I need to upgrade anything? I will post back later. Thanks.
