Anlin Catalina Windows Reviews

Home » Anlin Window Prices » Catalina Series

Anlin Windows is a top west coast manufacturer that is now owned by PGT windows. From everything I've heard, Anlin windows are still vey high quality and hopefully will continue to be a great option for homeowners moving forward.

I give Anlin Vinyl Windows a 4.6 out of 5 star rating based on 22 Anlin window reviews via our Anlin manufacturing page -- see link above.

The Anlin Catalina window is the company's entry level vinyl window model. It includes a host of additional ordering options that includes fourteen frame color options, two window glass packages, two casing styles, five hardware materials and 3 grid patterns.

The Catalina is available as a single hung, slider, picture window, combination, as well as a number of geometrical shapes and options. The Catalina has a frame depth of 2 7/8" and an extrusion thickness of .080 inches. In addition, the window uses a double strength glass, has equal sightlines, a single vent latch, silver coated glass and a Platinum Elite spacer system. The Anlin Catalina Window Series gets a 4.5 out of 5 star rating.

With the standard low-e glass and argon fills on the Catalina single hung window, consumers can expect .31 U-factor, .22 SHGC, .52 visible transmittance and 56 condensation resistance.

The upgraded window glass with the argon fills in the double hung will have a .26 U-factor, .24 SHGC, .41 visible transmittance and 48 condensation resistance.

These are impressive numbers for an entry level vinyl windows.

Anlin Catalina Cost Bid

Hello, I found your website and I am so grateful for it. I got a quote for $4900 for Simonton 7300 Daylight Max Windows or Madeira for 7 windows. I also got a quote, from the same person, for Anlin Catalina 7 windows for $4408. Seems a bit high for both, but what do you think and recommend?

Thank you so much for your time!

Cheryl, I personally would go with the Anlin Catalina over the Simonton 7300 so the fact that it is less money means it's the clear winner in my book. $630 installed for the Anlin Catalina actually sounds very fair given today's prices. That's the best price I'ver heard about in months to be honest. Just make sure that the company doing the install gets good reviews.

Anlin Del Mar vs. Anlin Catalina Series

Hello, can you please tell me how this quote looks? He quoted us with the Anlin Del Mar with quadritherm added to each window. We have 5 windows and a sliding glass door. The price still seems hefty to me at $12,334. I have no idea if he is trying to over sell me on these windows. I'm in a condo and we will probably move within the next 2-3 years. Our current windows are originals from 1981 and the insulation in the house is terrible. We also need the exterior frame to match our condo paint, which is brown. I don't need anything fancy, I just need more insulation. Should I ask for a lower priced model or manufacturer? The sales rep said he's worked with lower quality windows, and he says that people who buy those windows always have problems. He didn't specify which manufacturers he considered to be low quality.

I also received another quote from Home Depot for $13k for Simonton windows/door. I don't think I want to go with them because they don't have a lifetime warranty.

I received another quote from a different company for $8k for the Anlin Catalina series, but he quoted me with white vinyl instead of black or bronze.

I live in Denver, CO.

Thank you!

Denice, the $12334 price tag for 5 windows and a slider seems very hefty to me. If you are leaving in 3 years, you don't want to be putting in anything over $8K, which is what the Anlin Catalina came in at. Even that seems kinda high...

I'd get two more from the list and see if you can't find something lower than the $8K. From the list below [list pulled, contact us direct for our lists] I would first look at Amerimax and Zen windows.
