Hello from all of us at Creative Remodelers Group, and welcome to the windows section of our website.

Choosing a window system right for your home is not an easy choice. There are many different types of replacement windows on the market, some good, some not so good, and a few that really stand out.

With the manufacturer information available here, coupled with my personal thoughts, comments, and experience, I hope to shed some light on the subject to help answer your questions.

The first of a new generation in thermal vinyl replacement window products to hit an ever-changing market, and I've arranged an "exclusive" contract to introduce it to the area window market. That's good news for you and me.

"What's so different?", you ask. Just about everything, that's what! Let me tell you a little secret; all vinyl window replacements were beginning to look the same. They were sharing many of the same parts. They share Intercept Spacer & PPG Glass, same grids & locks, right down to the machinery putting them together. They even share the same U-Factor rating.

Destiny broke out of that mold with new, better, "everything". For instance; 7/8 insulated Edgetech Super Spacer sealed spacer system and contoured grids with no ugly cross clips. Eight color choices can be applied on the outside, inside, or both. Topping it all off, Destiny boasts a better U-Factor rating, in part due to the AFG Ti-AC40™ Low-E glass designed for diverse seasonal climates.

Destiny is available in bay & bows, garden windows, and the best looking sliding glass doors I've ever seen! Even if I had not told you a thing, just looking at this window next to other brands, you would see the difference. It simply looks better. Come to my showroom, or, I'll come to your home and you will see the difference yourself.

This is my favorite choice for a new or replacement vinyl window in all categories. Their new construction window is the best vinyl thermal new construction I have ever seen because of its 7/8" insulated glass instead of 3/4", (like most competing thermal window lines these days), and large vinyl caseing outside that is not only great looking but makes a deep pocket for the siding.

The frames are 70 mil. thick vinyl with miter cut fusion welded corners, optional foam filling for extra insulation and triple interlocks at the head, meeting rail and sill. Color options are white, beige or earth brown.

Also included is my favorite stainless steel constant force balance system which never needs adjusting, Intercept® spacer system, PPG Low-E glass with argon gas, and great internal grid style options.

There is nothing I don't like about this product! It has an Energy Star^® rating for the Northeast U-Value of 0.31, and to top it off, it's even reasonably priced. Nothing on the market gives you this much for so little.

What can I say,... these skylights are flawless and never seem to leak or condensate, my two pet peaves with most other skylights. I've been installing Wasco products for years and never have I had one problem with the product or the manufacturer. Wasco® is a family owned company with New England roots since 1935 and their products are made with New England weather in mind, not sunny California. Now that's a powerful statement!

Wasco® offers 4 lines of products comprised of E-Class, Architectural Series, G-Series, and Rolling Patio Doors. The product's smart design makes for trouble free installation and offer amenities such as electric openers with remote controls and rain sensors. Glass options can provide UV blockage up to 99.9% to stop your carpeting and furniture from discoloring due to sun bleaching. Wasco's patio doors provide a U-Factor of 0.32. What a great line.
