windows

Postby oklahomajewel » Sun Apr 09, 2006 12:44 pm

well, I checked at my local Lowe's and they could special order them but the "basement windows" were about 32" wide -- too wide.
Then the others, only one pane of glass that cranks out is about 23" wide but $$$ About $150 .... and they look so much like the ones that are on the lilbear sight for about $45.

So I think I'll be going with those ones Rick can get if my friend Phil doesn't find any.

Well I checked several Lowes including the one out in farm country. They tell me they only carry a special order window in white vinyl. I then checked and found that the windows I bought from Menards several years ago (3 pane jalousie white aluminum) were made by Phillips windows. I called the factory and they no longer make them. So if anyone else has found a source for these in aluminum please let me know.

I've made so many long distance calls and e-mailed so many people and manufacturers I'm worn plumb smooth! :? I don't have any leads, myself. So good luck to you.

Thanks, everybody, for the tips. Rick's trailer was the one I first posted the picture of and he says they have windows for me where he got his. I was looking for 3-pane, but "a bird in the hand is worth.................." :lol:

I don't know if it's to late to help Chris C out but I finally found crank out awning style windows in Aluminum Mill finish. I had to order the size I wanted so I have a 2-3 week wait but at least I can get them. They are 3 pane 18" wide and 24" high, with screens, for $ 42.00 each + shipping. They also make 14" wide. I ordered them from Midwest Salvage in Shipshewana IN. Their phone # is 260-768-4884. When I get them I will post up Pics.

Call this guy. In Sacramento, Lots of Salvage, should be pretty inexpensive.

Thanks for the tips, guys, but I got my windows from Rick back in April.
