Western Windows vs Fleetwood

Hi Houzzers!

I had previously posted a thread about some large sliding patio doors, and we've come down to 3 vendors which are all about the same price and same thermal specs, Fleetwood, Western Windows, and All Weather. Does anyone have any comments on the pros and cons of these brands? Fleetwood and Western Windows seem to be the largest by far, with Fleetwood being also much more popular on the west coast. All Weather Arch Alum is pretty small.

Any thoughts or experiences are much appreciated!

    Eric,

    We are also in a similar situation trying to decide between Western and Fleetwood. What did you decide to do? Our situation any advice is greatly appreciated: Received quote from Fleetwood and Western for 3 doorwalls. Using a 210" OXO as a comparison, Fleetwood was $7100 and Western was $9600. I then spoke with the Western rep and they quoted me their 7650 series which has U value of .3 and Fleetwood is .44. They said that they have a 600 series which has a .38 factor, still better then fleetwood, and the price in this series is about same as Fleetwood. I have heard good things about Fleetwood and that was what I was leaning too, but now not quite sure.

      Many of the modern window systems will perform well, and no matter how much you pay for a window package there is usually an issue with some parts of it. Our advice would be to check some references for each company so that you can get an idea of who has better customer support and service, because anything can be fixed if there is someone who will stand behind their products and take care of their customers. You can also look at the warranty for the specific systems you are considering to see if anyone is much better or worse than the other candidates.

      We went with Western and are happy with them so far. They’ve been installed for about two weeks in our active job site. I can’t tell any quality difference between them and Fleetwood so far, although I wish they were shipped with more protection as they did get scratched at some point prior to installation (probably careless handling by the workers). The scratches look pretty easy to paint over and are in pretty hidden places so not too much of an issue.

      Sometimes they are found in the same homes, from the same dealers, but otherwise it looks like their ownership is different (Western v Milgard)..... both having very strong production (tract) builder programs. I've used Fleetwood and have a home ready to order the same. Will also consider Western for projects. Prices will vary widely depending on size, glass, thermal breaks, etc. Go to a factory showroom if you can. Local dealer/installer network is critical for me.

      Not to my knowledge but I am not that update on the residential product market any longer.

      Western makes a few of Milgards over sized sliders.
