I bought Nirvana casement replacement windows in Denver CO from Zen Windows for my home 2 weeks ago and I have to say that I’m very impressed not only with the overall quality of the product but the quality of the installation as well. Plus, the entire window replacement process was fast, easy, and convenient. They did not send a salesman to my home to give me the quote. I simply gave them a description of the windows I wanted to replace, he called to clarify a few things about them and sent me a quote about 5 minutes later.
The Nirvana casement replacement windows from Zen Windows Denver are very easy to operate. They have a multi-point lock activator that engages or disengages multiple sash locks with just the use of a single lever. It’s handles are also very sturdy and have a really convenient design that makes opening the window very easy.
During my phone call with the owner of Zen Windows Denver, which was also another great thing about this company because you get to talk to the owner himself, he answered all of my questions and provided me with all of the information that I needed to know. He did this not to convince me to make a purchase but to give me an idea of what I’m going to get for my money if I decide to go with Zen.
One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to get replacement windows was water and air leaking through my old windows. The secure weather-tight seal that’s created by the hidden corrosion-resistant locking claws that engage the keepers struck to me as a feature that would fix my problem. This is what impressed me most about the design of the window. I don’t have to mop the floor every time it rains.
While most any new replacement window would have taken care of this problem, the Zen design is unique to Zen and also works to keep even strong wind from coming through. All of this, combined with the energy efficient coatings on the double pane glass, make the windows much more energy efficient than our old single pane windows and make a noticeable difference in the feel of the rooms throughout the house.
When I talked with Brandon Mackie, the owner of Zen Windows Denver, I never felt that I was being pushed or pressured to buy anything from him. In fact, he encouraged me to get as many quotes as possible from several window replacement companies so that I can better decide which window and window company would work best for my home and budget. He provided me with a PDF file of his window brochures which allowed me to know more about their windows. Their casement window is AAMA Gold Label Certified. It has a U-Factor of 0.25; a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25; a visible transmittance of 0.46; and a condensation resistance of 63 making it one of the highest rated and award winning double pane casement windows made.
Zen’s replacement windows come with a wide variety of color options, which was a huge relief because I wanted to make sure that the windows will match the existing look of my home.
Ii am shopping for Windows in Longmont and just received a quote from Brandon as well. Now that it has been over a year since you wrote this article, I was just curious about your experience since then. I was made to fear vinyl windows by another company’s salesperson who said in this climate, they won’t last more than three or four years. I have 17 windows to replace and don’t want to be doing it again in 5 years. Thanks!
