Anderson or Pella Composites?

13 years ago

Any opinions, bad or good, on either of these window types?

Both are very similar in price; looking for some other data points.

Mixed bag on both, in my opinion the lesser of the 2 evils would be the Anderson. Without know any other details no one will be able to answer your question more thoroughly.

I'd go with the Marvin Infinity before I'd consider anything from Pella or Andersen.

Marvin would be my choice as well.

We wanted to go with Marvin Integrity all Ultrex but we couldn't justify the cost differences.

Anderson 100's $21k
Marvin Integrity $37K

We decided to go with Anderson 100's - we didn't want to go all vinyl and need a darker outside finish.

The 100's look like nice windows to me...and though they aren't the same quality as the Marvins they use the same hardware and do meet our energy requirements also.
