Arcadia, Fleetwood, Western all make T/B Aluminum for starters.

Thanks, I'll check them out. Where do these stand on the "quality" scale compared to Reynaers, Zola, Alpen, etc? My previous search of Fleetwood found very poor ratings.

Good windows, Reynaers is a European window and very good quality, Zola is essentially a knockoff European window that I am not up on quality, Alpen is a crap shoot from what I know as they have been thru several iterations and changed hands a few times. Fleetwood gets used here on Long Island in gets good reviews as a whole.

@millworkman Thank you, I'll work on getting a few bids from Reynaers, Alpen, and KNEER-SÜDFENSTER. Zola's lead times are too long these days.

@dan1888 Thanks Dan - I don't see an English version, but I will see if my German speaking wife can help figure it out.

Lucky you. I used Google translate to do it.

We've been very happy with Pella. Not sure if they are NFRC listed, but it appears they are. Nice thing about Pella is one can have aluminum on the outside and very pleasant and warm-looking wood on the inside. They are also a US domestic company and I'll bet prices are lower than European makers? We fitted out an average-to-above-average sized house (5500 sq ft) with many huge Pella windows and about 15 4' x 8' glass doors and stationary doors and are very pleased. Depending on sun exposure each window got a different SHGC and related differences. We're in colder climate than Portland (Rocky Mountains).

Personally I would steer clear of anything Pella at all costs. Just my .02..................

@Jeff Smith Steve, thank you for your suggestions, I'm glad you had a good experience with Pella.

However my reading on the forum and other places gave me the same impression about them as @millworkman said, that folks have a lot of problems with Pella.

I chatted with a rep for Kneer-Sudfenster yesterday, he's working up a quote for us. He suggested that we also consider their aluminum clad wood windows, in addition to the all-aluminum ones, so I asked him to quote both options (he said wood/aluminum would be cheaper than all aluminum). I didn't consider wood/aluminum because we don't want a wood finish on the inside, but he said that they can be painted in any color, so I figured why not. Are there any significant differences between wood/aluminum vs all-aluminum that I should be aware of?

Wood clad would typically have larger, thicker sightlines as the window is mainly wood structurally with an aluminum cladding. Make certain that they use a true extruded aluminum for their cladding.

Good point about the thicker sightlines, I think we prefer to minimize those. I'll report back after we get some quotes, hopefully that will help us decide.

Any updates?

Hello. I am designing a new contemporary home in the Portland area that will utilize large aluminum framed glass systems including multi slide doors. What did you find in your research? I am looking at Fleetwood, Western, Styline, possibly Golbrecht, Raynaers. Cost vs quality will be important as well as glass.
