Replacement windows

<p>I’ve searched, but can’t find where people have discussed this. Hard to believe, but here goes.</p>

<p>Our doorwall in the basement has cracked glass. Replacing the glass is probably not wise since the doorwall itself is old and barely locks.</p>

<p>Can anybody recommend whre we should start to look into this? Name brand company like Anderson, Pella or Hanson? Or something else? I’m clueless.</p>

<p>therma-tru and plaspro. the first is american company, the latter japanese. both make excellent doors. I used a window & door man, rather than home depot/lowes. anderson, of course, is good, but has many subdivisions. nothing agt anderson, just pricey.</p>

<p>what is a door wall? is that also a sliding glass door?</p>

<p>Here’s one from last month about Pella:</p>

<p>I know it’s not the first time I’ve mentioned our replacement windows so maybe a search including names, e.g., Pella, Andersen, Marvin (only three I can think of offhand) would turn up the other discussions.</p>
