No, not that kind Devilish2.gif

Replacement windows for house.  Online, free shipping would be nice....(yea! in my dreams!)

More particularly, awning type, 48 x18 and 48x24. Due to pesky state laws wallbash.gif they are near impossible to find in state.  Need three, and they're for the lee side of the house

Marvin Windows

The Marvin site has dealers by state, but they want you to enter your zip.

Anderson & Marvin are two big names in the window biz - I've got Anderson windows in part of my house and was very impressed when they replaced, completely free of charge, some skylights that had started to leak after 15 years!!! Apparently they had identified a flaw in this particular model, and anyone who had them and had problems got them replaced free, even though the warranty period had long expired. My parents have Anderson windows in their summer cottage - they have been great.

Would think that given Florida's climate, vinyl windows would be your best option (or vinyl clad). Definitely NOT aluminum in the Keys!!!

Marvin is probably the "Cadillac" of wood windows. I assume you are talking wood, not vinyl. (?)

Try checking into Loewen, Hurd, WeatherShield, Vetter, Windsor, or Semco. If you want clad wood windows, Andersen or Pella "wood" fit the bill.

You might be better off visiting a local millwork shop and see what all they can get instead of shopping online.

my 2 cents
