Our Zola windows arrived today! Why is this a big deal? Because they're from Germany. Why German windows? Well, we wanted windows with three characteristics:
This combination simply doesn't exist currently with US manufacturers. You can get tilt/turn, vinyl, triple pane or double hung, wood, triple pane or many other combinations but never all three. It certainly was a hassle getting them here. Zola didn't provide techs to move them from the truck. They insisted that our crew needed to move them and they needed to be unloaded with a skid steer. The way they were secured to the pallets made them unstable to unload with the skid steer, so some of the windows had to be moved by hand. By the end, our guys got them off the truck and in the back yard without damage. Hallelujah. Also oddly, our windows were the only items in the whole container. Not very efficient, but at this point there is nothing we can do about it. In any case, WE HAVE AWESOME WINDOWS ONSITE AND INTACT!
