Replacement Window: Full Frame Double Hung
OK: I was reluctant to review anything that had not been torture tested in winter, so after a number of months, here is my review. I was surprised to see some ice forming on the outside of the window in the late fall but attributed it to high humidity levels inside the house and a very quick plunge in temperature. The issue only happened once and has never repeated; thus an abnormal quick freeze it was, I believe. Now that we have had a number of -7 C days this month, I am at liberty to comment. Last week, with low temperatures and an extremely windy day, I felt around for some air leakage and was impressed with how little there was. As for construction, the claim that the 4 1/2" frame gives a narrower sash is correct. I compared the Nordik window to my other vinyl replacements and was pleased that there is so much more glass area than my other windows of similar size. They are well built and, as an arthritic, I find them very easy to open. Concerning the whole quote/install process it was a pleasant experience. The request for quotation was met with a site visit and, after a few days of price/ performance comparison, we place the order. When the windows were measured, I mentioned to the fellow who measured, that I really wanted to keep the 91 year old cabinet head interior mouldings. (full frame install) He said it could be done and adjusted his measurements to suit the moulding reveals. As a result, the mouldings went back in place with a perfect fit. Note to Nordik, you may want to promote this feature when you sell to owners of period homes. As for the install, it went extremely well. The guys were finished in a timely manner and all construction debris was removed. Well done; I have seen some negative reviews on Facebook but that was not our experience. Hopefully, I will never have to call anyone regarding warranty service. Ron French Hamilton ON
