I am trying to find out information about a window manufacturer. My friend was recommended a brand called “Alside” I have only found that they were ranked number 10 out of 18. I don’t believe this is a great window. Does anyone have any information about this company or their products?
Thanks!

I've never heard of Alside, but thru the Web, found out that they are manufactured in Akron, Ohio. Supposedly this company has been in business a long time. Another web site indicated that this is one brand of window that Sears sells.
Anyway, for further info, check out these 2 sites...LOL...

alside is indead a cleveland area co. and has been around for quite awhile. They used to sponsor the tribe broadcasts with jimmy dudley doing the play by play. At that time they were known as the Aluminum Siding Corp of America.
There is a window co. that is around NW OH. now called Wallside. Could that be the one? Vinyle replacement window co.

I am in Akron ,Ohio---so alside is a local company for me.
I have installed quite a few of their windows
The more expensive windows with welded, mitered corners are much nicer than the lower end models.( and not that much more $$$)
2 problems
over time the balance will get out of adjustment and the lower sash sometimes will not want to stay all the way up when the window is open,
and the the latch that you have to squeeze to tilt the sash in for cleaning has been known to break on the low end windows.
