The biggest mistake I have ever made was to purchase weathershield Windows for my home.

First problem was their e glazing and argon sealing. The e coating oxidized due to atmospheric penetratration. In other words, the argon was not sealed in and air and moisture entered the double glazed space. This is what I was told. Truth? Who knows.

THE company did replace about ten or twelve pains, but they did not tell me about the class action suits or other problems with these Windows. Since the warranty on glass is only for ten years the other twenty or so failed Windows are not covered. They claim that they will sell me glass for half their price but that is higher than the local high quality glass and some of their replacement glass has also failed.

The other worse problem is that screens do not fit and there are other access holes for flies, lady bugs, yellow jackets and other bugs I don't know what to call.

All this is in house which I have been building for almost twenty years, some rooms are not yet used so I was not aware of these problems.

Some Windows were built out of square and even double glassing seals are crooked.

If this was a reliable company, they would have recalled their defective products, or at least notified customers to watch for the known problems.

I did get these Windows cheap, true, but the real cost is enormous, they all need to be replaced.

It was my fault for buying from an unknown manufacturer. I could have gotten Milgard for about 10 % more; and I knew Milgard was good.

I have purchase other brands to finish my house. Milgard, very good. Crestline, excellent. Jeld Wen, very good to excellent. Atrium, very good to excellent. - - - - - - - -

And Weathershield, very bad to disastrous, horrible experience.

Oh well. Live and learn. Its not as bad as a bloody car wreck.
