I need to purchase new windows for the addition to my home. My local lumber yard carries windows made by Atrium. We are looking at single hung vinyl 3060. Have you guys heard anything bad about them or their windows?
We looked at wood but the cost is just too high for our budget.
What should I look for in windows?
BTW, I am in Texas and they will be exposed to high heat and lots of sun.
Thanks

Couln't fine your post after looking up Atrium. They own a bunch of vinyl window manufactorers. They claim to be the largest in the US. The manuf. I am familiar with that they own is a good one that gives good service.
I don't know if they are sold arround here under the Atrium name. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Forgot one thing, they claim to be the largest man. of vinyl windows in the US

Thanks anyway Frammer. I'll probably use wood windows for the house and vinyl for the garage.
I personally don't have the bias against using vinyl windows. My personal experience is they are a lot less expensive and work very well.
Unless you are going to stain the sashes, I would go with vinyl. If you don't like them in a feq years they can be replaced.
