Can anyone name this shrub?
We had a lot of overgrown plants when we moved into this new house in early fall. We've cut a lot of things back, but I don't know what to do with this one -- it's obviously overgrown but I'm not sure how/when to prune. I took these pictures two weeks ago...it's almost "blooming" now.
Here's a wide shot:
And a closeup:
Thanks for the help!
It is one of the plants called "Red Tip" You can trim it down, prune it up, just about anything you want. It will take what ever you throw at it and come back just fine. As big as it is, you might enjoy it more if you did cut it back some.
I've got a couple that where about that size when we moved here in 1991.....I keep them trimmed back to make a better fit with the rest of the shrubs. They do have a nice white flower when they bloom.
I think it would be a terrible waste to prune that lone photina! I can't quite tell from the photo, but you might have the room to 'tree-form' it, turning it into a nice tree. Limb it up far enough so that the lower branches don't get in the way of the walk way. Tree form photinias are gorgeous, and not nearly as prone to the terrible leaf spot diseases that the hedged plants are.
It looks like your plant could be a multi-trunked tree, if you wanted.
If you DO want to cut it back, it should be cut all the way back to 6 inch stumps, so that new growth can emerge close to the ground. Red tips can respond with up to 4 feet in a single year when rejuvenated properly.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Can this possibly be a Tea Olive? I have one and the sprouts your seeing are blooms not new red leaves, which is what the red tip put on, then later it has a bloom of sorts.
They are pretty trees. I have two actually but I thought they were bushes and I planted them to close to the foundation of my house so I have to keep them trimmed, but they can be shaped very pretty, even like the crape myrtles.
Just a thought, does anyone know which these are.
I notice this is an older question...wonder if the original poster is still wondering what the shrub is? LOL Anyway, it is definitely not a tea olive, and I also question whether it's red tip photinia, the new growth should be redder and give the plant an overall redder appearance. There are a couple of more desirable photinia varieties which this shrub might be...one of them is Chinese photinia but I don't know that one well enough to be sure. Kind of fits, though. If it were mine I'd prune it up into a tree.

Application September 13, 1956, Serial No. 609,738
6 Claims. (Cl. 36-71) This invention relates to improvements in a foot cushioning device with a secured pad, and more particularly to a foot cushioning device which may readily be made in the form of a full or partial insole for disposition in a shoe or the like beneath the plantar surface of the foot, the device being provided with a pad or a lift at a judicious location depending upon the treatment desired for a particular foot, although the device may have other uses and purposes as will be apparent to one skilled in the art. 1
In the past, many and various types of foot cushioning devices for insertion in a shoe or other article of footwear and which incorporated a pad or lift at some judicious location, have been developed, but: in every instance of which I am aware devices of this character in which the laminations were secured together by heat sealing did not employ such a lift. Frequently, cushioning devices as heretofore known and which were provided with a lift did not have the layers or parts thereof heat sealed together, and the lift was free to move out of position. In other cases, where laminated foot cushioning devices were made with the lift secured, the, entire structure was objectionally expensive. Further, while cushioning insoles have heretofore been provided especially for use in ladies high-heeled and open-heeled shoes, such insoles were extremely diflicult to maintain in proper position, and frequently wrinkling of the device resulted particularly if it incorporated a metatarsal liftvand the lift itself was disposed at the sharp bend where the sole turns from the tread into the shank of the toe.
With the foregoing in mind, it is an important object of the instant invention to provide a foot cushioning device embodying a lift, and wherein the laminations of the structure may be heat sealed together at the bounding edges and also around the lift, whereby the lift is maintained positively in position. I
Another object of the invention is the provision of a foot' cushioning device embodying a plastic cover member and a plastic cushioning member heat sealed together at the very bounding edges, andwith a lift dis-' posed between said members, with the members heat sealed together inside the bounding edges around the lift itself.
Also a feature of the invention resides in the provision of a foot cushioning device embodying a thermoplastic cover sheet, a thermoplastic cushioning sheet, and a thermoplastic lift inserted between said sheets, the sheets being heat sealed at their bounding edges, and also heat sealed together around the lift with the very edge of the lift itself caught in the heat seam.
It is also a feature of this invention to'provide a foot cushioning device embodying a thermoplastic cover member, a thermoplastic cushioning member, and a lift element interposedbetween said members, the members being heat sealed to eachother at their'bounding edges and also around the lift, but the members and the lift being otherwise unconnected to each other.
A 2,917,843 Patented Dec. 22, 1959 It is also an object of this invention to provide a foot cushioning appliance highly desirable for use in ladies open-heeled shoes, the device being so constructed as to stay in position against slippage, and so arranged as to be substantially invisible when worn, and yet the laminations of the device are heat sealed together.
Still another object of the invention resides in the provision of a laminated foot cushioning insole highly desirable for use in a ladies high-heeled open-heeled shoe, which insole is laminated from thermoplastic materials including one layer of thermoplastic foam which is heat sealed to a top lamination by a graduated heat sealed seam, whereby the foam layer is given a rounded margin gradually decreasing in thickness to a fine edge seal, so that when the foot is placed upon the device, the
' device itself is substantially invisible.
Also a feature of the invention is the provision of a foot cushioning insole for disposition in a high-heeled shoe, which insole includes a cover lamination, a cushioning lamination, and a metatarsal lift in the form of a cushioning member disposed between the two laminations which are heat sealed together at the bounding edge and also around the lift, but being otherwise unattached to each other or to the lift, whereby the device will not wrinkle when in use even though the lift is disposed at the sharp bend between the tread of the sole and the shank of the shoe.
Still a further object of the instant invention is the provision of a laminated heat sealed foot cushioning appliance having a secured lift therein which may be extremely economically manufactured.
While some of the more salient features, characteristics and advantages of the instant invention have been above pointed out, others will become apparent from the following disclosures, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a foot cushioning device embodying principles of the instant invention;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary central vertical sectional view illustrating the device of Figure l in operative position in a high-heeled, open-heeled shoe;
Figure 3 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially as indicated by the line III-III of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a plan view of a foot cushioning device of slightly different construction, but also embodying principles of the instant invention;
Figure 5 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially as indicated by the line VV of Figure 4; v
Figure 6 is also a plan view of ;a foot cushioning device of still different construction;
Figure 7- is a transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially as indicated by the line VIIVII of Figure 6; i Figure 8 is a plan view of another form of foot cushioning device embodying principles 'of the instant invention;
Figure 9 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially "as indicated by the line IXIX of Figure 8. 1 1
As shown on the drawings:
The first illustrated embodiment of the instant invention, shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, is in the form of. a shortened insole highly desirable for disposition in a ladies open-heeled shoe. V 1
This form of the invention preferably comprises a cover sheet or lamination 1 which is preferably relatively'thin and made era thermoplastic material; This cover sheet maybe provided with numerous perforations as indicated at 2, if so'desired.
Underneath that cover sheet is a second and preferably much thicker sheet or lamination 3 of cushioning material which may be in the nature of thermoplastic foam having intercommunicating cells.
By way of example but not by way of limitation, it may be mentioned that a satisfactory material for the cushioning sheet is vinyl foam which may be made from a liquid composition generically known as a plastisol. Such plastisol itself may be a dispersion or suspension of polyvinyl chloride resin, or a copolymer in one or more plasticizers such. as a high boiling ester, for example, dioctyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, dicapryl phthalate, etc., the plastisol being expanded and then cured to provide an open cell, flexible, structural material.
The cover sheet 1 may satisfactorily be a vinyl film and have substantially the same chemical constituency as the foam sheet, but is made under a different process without expansion and is ultimately rolled by a calender into the resulting sheet or film. Obviously the covered sheet has considerable more density than the foam lamination.
The advantages of the substances abovementioned are more fully pointed out in my co-pending application entitled Foot Cushioning Devices filed September 12, 1956, Serial No. 609,453.
The instant invention also may satisfactorily be manufactured under the process more fully set forth, described and claimed in that co-pending application.
The covering and cushioning laminations are preferably sealed together by electronic heat sealing means, in a fine edge seam at the bounding edges of the sheets as indicated at 4. The heat sealing means are so constructed as to preferably give a graduated heat scaling effect on the marginal portion of the cushioning sheet 3 so that while the bounding seam is a fine edge seam, the cushioning material is affected by the heat sealing operation in a manner to provide a curvate marginal portion which gradually decreases in thickness to the fine edge seam, even though the sheet of cushioning material was initially flat. This curyate margin of the cushioning material is indicated at 5 in Figures 2, 5, 7 and 9 of the drawings. The arrangement renders the actual edge seam 4 of the heat sealing operation substantially invisible.
Between the cover sheet 1 and the cushioning sheet 3 a metatarsal supporting pad or lift 6 is preferably interposed. This lift 6 may be of the same material 'as the cushioning sheet, and of the same or a different thickness, depending upon the degree of support desired. Around the metatarsal lift 6 the upper and lower laminations 1 and 3 are preferably heat sealed together as indicated at 7, and the very edge portion of the lift 6 is preferably caught in this heat seal as indicated at 8, so that the very edge of the lift is also attached to the two other laminations.
As is indicated by the exaggerated spacing at 9, the cover sheet and cushioning sheet as well as the lift 6 are separate from each other andunconnected everywhere but at the seams 4 and 7.
With reference to Figure 1, it will be seen that the insole has a slight recess 10 in the forward end contour thereof, and a similar recess 11 in the rear end contour. As seen in Figure 2, the device is of such length that the metatarsal heads will rest upon the cushioning device, but the toes of the foot will project therebeyond, and the rear end of the device terminates under the forepart only of the heel of the user. Thus, when the device is disposed in an open-heeled shoe generally indicated by numeral 12, and in this instance the shoe is also of the high-heeled type, both the toes and heel of the user will project beyond the insole. In this instance, the metatarsal lift 6 will be disposed inside the bend 13 where the tread of the sole turns upwardly into the relatively high shank of the shoe.
Even though the metatarsal lift is located precisely in the bend 13, there will be no wrinkling, particularly of the cover layer 1, while the device is in. use. That is be.-
cause the cover is not connected to the lower layer or to the insert except at the heat sealed seams. This freedom from connection except at the heat sealed seams also provides another advantage .in that it permits a ready pumping of air from the air pervious foam layer 3 through the apertures 2 in the cover layer, if apertures are provided. On the other hand, if apertures are not provided an extra cushioning effect is obtained by virtue of air entering between the layer 3 and the cover upon pressure relief during walking. When pressure of the foot is again applied, that air will have to be driven in the reverse direction through the cushioning medium and so affect anadded cushioning and massage of the foot. It will also be noted that the arcuate margin 5 of the cushioning layer eliminates any objectionalbe ridge under the foot, permits the cover to tightly contact the shoe itself, and .thus enhance the invisibility of the appliance when in use. Additionally, the soft clinging action caused by the surface of the cushioning layer against the inside of the shoe effectively maintains the device in place against slipping.
It should also be noted that the device is simple in construction, very economical to manufacture, long lived, and may be laundered whenever desired.
In Figures 4 and 5, by way of example, I have shown a full insole utilizing the same metatarsal lift 6 as above described, and made in the same way. In this instance, the insole has the top layer 1a, the bottom layer of cushioning material 311, and these are of the same character as described in connection with Figures 1 to 3 inclusive, except for the external contour. The two layers are heat sealed together at a fine edge seam 4, the bottom layer has the arcuate margin 5, and the layers are heat sealed around thev metatarsal lift 6 as indicated at 7 with the very edge of the lift engaged in that seal. As shown at 9, the layers are otherwise unsecured to each other.
In Figures 6 and 7 I have illustrated a still different form of insole, comprising a top lamination 1b and a cushioning lower lamination 3b heat sealed together as at 4, with the lower cushioning layer having the rounded marginal portion 5. In this instance, however, I have illustrated the inclusion of an added heel lift 14 which is inserted between the upper and lower laminations at the rear end of the device so as to give the heel of the foot an added cushioning support and an added elevation. In order to maintain the added heel lift 14 in position, it is only necessary to heat seal the upper and lower layers together in a transverse line to form the seam 15 in front of the heel lift. As may be noted from the Figure 7, the heel lift 14 need not be engaged in the edge seam 4, although the forward edge of the lift may be engaged by the seam 15, if so desired. Obviously, it is impossible for the heel lift to change position.
By way of further example, I have shown in Figures 8 and 9 an insole with a longitudinal arch lift or support. In this instance, the insole comprises the top lamination 1c, the bottom cushioning lamination 30, heat sealed as at 4 and the lower lamination has the arcuate margin 5, all as above explained. Between these layers a longitudinal arch lift or supporting element 16 is inserted, and this, of course, may be of the same constituency as the cushioning layer 30, and of whatever thickness is'deemed necessary. With the lift 16 in position, the parts 10 and 3c are preferably heat sealed together around the lift as indicated at 17 in a curvate seam, the ends of which reach the bounding edge seam 4. Preferably, the very edge of the insert '16 is engaged in the seam 17 as above explained.
The structures shown in Figures 4 to 9 inclusive-have been given by way of examples of some of the variations that may be made in the instant invention without departing from the teachings hereof. In each instance a foot supporting device that is highly eflicient in use, long lived, and economically manufactured is provided, and the invention has sufficient universality to provide corrective cushioning pressure for substantially any type of affiiction that may be alleviated by cushioning or'supporting contact with the plantar surface of the foot.
It will be understood that modifications and variations of a further nature may be affected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. I
Iclaim as my invention; I

Eugene Field
It's June ag'in, an' in my soul I feel the fillin' joy
That's sure to come this time o' year to every little boy;
For, every June, the Sunday-schools at picnics may be seen,
Where "fields beyont the swellin' floods stand dressed in livin' green";
Where little girls are skeered to death with spiders, bugs, and ants,
An' little boys get grass-stains on their go-to meetin' pants.
It's June ag'in, an' with it all what happiness is mine -
There's goin' to be a picnic, an' I'm goin' to jine!
One year I jined the Baptists, an' goodness! how it rained!
(But grampa says that that's the way "baptizo" is explained.)
And once I jined the 'Piscopils an' had a heap o' fun -
But the boss of all the picnics was the Presbyteriun!
They had so many puddin's, sallids, sandwidges, an' pies,
That a feller wisht his stummick was as hungry as his eyes!
Oh, yes, the eatin' Presbyteriuns give yer is so fine
That when they have a picnic, you bet I'm goin' to jine!
But at this time the Methodists have special claims on me,
For they're goin' to give a picnic on the 21st, D. V.;
Why should a liberal universalist like me object
To share the joys of fellowship with every friendly sect?
However het'rodox their articles of faith elsewise may be,
Their doctrine of fried chick'n is a savin' grace to me!
So on the 21st of June, the weather bein' fine,
They're goin' to give a picnic, and I'm goin' to jine!

Gallery: SORAA Vivid: World's First Full Visible Spectrum LED Bulb Wins...
SORAA just took home a 2013 Red Dot Product Design Award with their Vivid LED MR16 – which is the world's first full visible spectrum bulb! The California-based company is the world's leader in gallium-nitride on gallium-nitride (GaN on GaN™) LED technology, and their Vivid LED was honored for its design innovation, functionality and energy efficiency.
Whereas some LED lamps utilize multiple light sources that must be kept cool to generate enough light, SORAA's Vivid LED uses a single small super-bright LED. This is possible because of the company's patented GaN on GaN technology, which delivers superior light quality within an aesthetically pleasing bulb. In addition to producing up to ten times the light per unit area and cutting energy use by 75% compared to halogen lamps, SORAA's Vivid LED MR16 lasts a whopping 25,000 hours. Brilliant!

I was happy with my cross-buy purchase on PSN ($2 in flash sale that happened recently). I hope the Nintendo fans give this game a try and encourage the trend of cross-buy for 3rd parties as a means of being more successful.
Cross-buy doesn't mean you will play on multiple platforms, but it does take the decision risk off the table on which platform you will enjoy it more on (portable or home console).

Yay JohnnyUtah talks in his JohnnyUtah voice about titties!
I'm getting kind of tired of the whole formulaic style, but you do it so well it is hard to find something where you could improve. Still, this one takes a few cheap shots for popularity by just showing hot women with bouncing tits. Shame on you.
i wont deny it, but don't worry sir, I won't do this all the time.
Who would like dead girls?
iron man
i always knew he liked girls but i never knew how much he hated pants
need more characters
ok, i liked wolverine one better, but a really awesome one would be deadpool. wadey's already got screws loose and is one of the best characters in the game. that, and some capcom characters as well, since all characters have been from marvel.
the (2nd) best MVC3 parody
It was funny the first three times,but after a while its only worth a smirk. And the fact that MvC 3 Dante dominated this doesn't help either, whether it was really about Dante or not. The fact is They broke the rules and look what happened.They got #1 of all time, whether they truly deserve it or not.
As for this flash personally I think the reason this scored better was because Johhny Utah knows his Iron-man and captured his personality perfectly and even though he kinda did the same thing it was executed differently with a nice ending jesture. And I'm sure his animation style and "physics" on the ladies was a definite plus also.
in short:This is funny,but its been done with wolverine,hulk(more disturbing),and she hulk(EVEN more disturbing)
( Morrigan definitely doesn't look bad in mvc dante version either but at least the jokes are refreshing from the usual "Hi I'm rehashing the same joke style and here's why you should buy mvc3.")

3/5 picos

|Growth in Troy Missouri
| TROY, Mo. (KMOV.com) — In the last fifteen years, the population of Troy skyrocketed from approximately 6,700 to over 12,000 people, an increase of 56 percent.
Within just a five-mile radius of Troy, there are almost 27,000 residents. Today, streets in town can be lined with cars, a stark change from the almost non-existent traffic of a decade ago.
Troy recently named Ryan Howell to direct the Parks & Recreation department, to expand Troy's current park system. "The biggest growing pains we have are… infrastructure, keeping up with building the streets, sewer [and] water systems so it can accommodate the growth while maintaining the system. Of course all that is expensive," said Mayor Mark Cross of Troy's growing pains.
The town also plans to attract new businesses, especially since more than half of Lincoln County's workers leave the county each day for work.
The city hopes to create more in-town jobs for local residents. click here to see more.
|From the Mayor's Desk…
March, 2015
At the latest Board of Alderman meeting the board passed 6-0 and ordinance directing the execution of the flexible spending account service agreement. As you may remember, this issue failed at last month's meeting but after answering some questions that the some alderman had their concerns were taken care of. Another ordinance that was passed was this version of one that we pass every year. What it does is line up the ordinances that the City of Troy has passed in the past year with any state statutes that have been enacted. With the statutes being the final authority.
In some housekeeping items, the board voted to approve the permit and site plan for the new middle school on the Crooked Creek property off of Adlehardt Rd.; they voted to allow the department heads to hire and fire seasonal workers without coming to the board for approval and finally they approved putting together the contract with Midwest Pool Management for only the services that the City wants.
The Troy Police Department has started training for their officers to obtain continuing education hours for the next reporting period. On February 19th the department conducted a class on racial profiling and professional traffic stops. The department will also be receiving training on Youth Mental Health First Aid. The course will be taught by Kristi Gregory who is the counselor for New Horizons. Counselor Gregory got in touch with the department after attending an instructor class for this course. The first class was on February 24th and six officers attended. Counselor Gregory has agreed to teach this course on other dates so that all of the officers will receive the training.
Sales tax deposits for February of 2015 were up 7.38% over February 2014. The 1% local sales tax was 7.55% higher, the ½% Transportation Tax was 6.78% higher and the ½% Capital Improvement's Tax was 7.63% higher than February 2014. February's deposits would be for December's collection. For the 2014-2015 Fiscal Year, our sales tax receipts are up by 10.52% compared to the same period in FY2014.
During the month of January the City used 100 tons of salt on the streets and placed 15 tons of asphalt in potholes. The Public Works Department inspected 25 main holes plus 5000 feet of sewer main and cleaned another 5000 feet of sewer main. During the inspections they made 8 point repairs for clean water leaking into the system.
So far during this fiscal year the City has issued 28 permits for new housing starts. That would put us 13.5% ahead of 2013-2014 fiscal year. Since the first of January the city has issued 8 permits and that takes us to 29.7% ahead of last year. This is good news because it means that real estate is selling again in the City limits.
During the month of February most of the departments are going through closed files according to the State's retention schedule, compiling destruction lists and or permanent records in an effort to clean-up and organized storage areas.
Construction on Cherry Blossom Way will be picking up momentum so I advise everyone to try to find an alternate route since the street will be more narrow and the trucks will still be using it to get to Bodine and M.O.S.T.
Now that February is over maybe the weather will start to improve. I know that I would love to see the end of the snowy season. Please be careful when out driving in the snow and be kind to one another.
God Bless you all.

1898. New York socialite Emma Harlow agrees to marry well-to-do Montgomery Gilmore, but only if he first accepts her audacious challenge: to reproduce the Martian invasion featured in H. G. Wells's popular novel The War of the Worlds. Meanwhile in London, Wells himself is unexpectedly made privy to certain objects, apparently of extraterrestrial origin, that were discovered decades earlier on an ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic. On that same expedition was an American crew member named Edgar Allan Poe, whose inexplicable experiences in the frozen wasteland would ultimately inspire him to create one of his most enduring works of literature.
When eerie, alien-looking cylinders begin appearing in London, Wells is certain it is all part of some elaborate hoax. But soon, to his great horror, he realizes that a true invasion of Earth has indeed begun. As brave bands of citizens converge on a crumbling London to defend it against utter ruin, Emma and her suitor must confront the enigma that is their love, a bright spark of hope even against the darkening light of apocalypse.
Palma dazzled readers with his instant New York Times bestseller The Map of Time. In The Map of the Sky, he embarks on an even more thrilling speculative journey, one that links the earth and the heavens, the familiar and the bizarre, the impossible and the inevitable.
FĂ©lix J. Palma has been loudly acclaimed by critics as one of the most brilliant and original storytellers of our time. The Map of Time, his US debut, was a New York Times and international bestseller. Please visit MapofTimeBook.com and FelixJPalma.es.
âeoeThe unreal becomes real, fantasy becomes history, and the reader is thoroughly entertained by an unending parade of bafflements and surprises. This book is a complete delight.âe
-K.W. Jeter author of Infernal Devices
âeoe"The Map of the Sky" keeps the reader guessing, checking and thinking, all the while providing many sidelights on the literary history of sci-fi itself.âe
âeoeThis story is much akin to what Orson Welles tried on Halloween, 1938, with his radio show. This time the saucers really fly. All this, simmered in a rich broth of keen imagination, exceptional narrative control, wit, and an obvious affection for sci-fi and adventure stories and with great respect for the readers of same. Cool factor: 3-D end papers. Glasses included with first editions only.âe
"A cross-genre masterpiece"
âeoeHaving used H.G. Wellsâe(TM)s The Time Machine as the starting point for 2011âe(TM)s The Map of Time, Palma now takes The War of the Worlds as the basis for this top-notch sequelâe¦Fans of intelligent science fiction as well as historical thrillers will be rewarded.âe
âeoePalma's gorgeous prose works its magic yet again...in this worthy successor to The Map of Time.âe
âeoePalma writes with shrewdness and glee.âe
âeoePalma keeps the reader guessing, and the twists and turns coming.âe

Daniel Castro contributed a chapter titled "U.S. Federal Cybersecurity Policy" in the book "Cybersecurity: Public Sector Threats and Responses."
Rob Atkinson contributed a chapter titled chapter "Who's Who in Internet Politics" for the book "The Next Digital Decade: Essays on the Future of the Internet."
Supply-Side Follies: Why Conservative Economics Fails, Liberal Economics Falters, and Innovation Economics is the Answer
Supply-Side Follies methodically debunks the common assumptions of conservative economics and demonstrates why it is a flawed doctrine that is setting up the U.S. for a major economic downturn in the near future.
Taking into account the historical record, the book discusses the shortcomings of prevailing liberal and conservative economic doctrines and lays out a new growth economics agenda aimed at maximizing the productivity and innovation-enhancing forces of the New Economy.

Our room was not ready until 5:00p.m. They sent us to the Tiki Bar which was near the pool that was under construction. The view from our room was partially blocked by new construction.The room itself was nothing like the photos. It was small, dark and unattractive. The lobby of the hotel was also nothing like the photos---it was plain and unattractive. This was the worst Courtyard we have ever stayed at. The only good part was that Carabba's was in the building and the breakfast was good. I would be more upset if we didn't pay for it with Marriott gift cards!!

Thinking about installing Jeld-Wen Premium Vinyl Windows...
My husband and I are looking into getting Low E vinyl windows for our house, more specifically, the Jeld-Wen Premium Vinyl windows. We currently have aluminum windows, double pane, but the home was a repo when we bought it, and some of the frames are bent and damaged. We also like the curb appeal of the vinyl windows, which is why we are making this upgrade.
Having never bought windows before, I asked some co-workers who are retired general contractors, as well as did my research online for reviews and checking out Consumer Reports. Reviews online are horrible, making me afraid to buy Jeld-Wen.
Does anyone know anything about JW Premium Vinyl windows?
Has anyone installed them or had them installed?
Co-workers say: Be careful of retro-fit windows because the seals are typically warrantied through the manufacturer for only 2 years. Though the window has a 10 year warranty, the seal is only good for 2 years. We will need to re-caulk the seals every 2 years, or else they will leak. Also, the benefit of switching to Low E glass is not THAT great. Stick with the aluminum windows.
The window installer says: He uses a polyurethane seal instead of caulk, and that he has never had a problem with leakage in the past. He said I will never have to re-caulk or re-seal the windows as long as they are in place.
Online reviews are not very clear. What I am reading is a lot of angry customers, either angry with Lowes or Home Depot for ordering them wrong, or having them arrive broken. I don't see that as Jeld-Wen's fault. Some just say in general that the windows were scratched or broken, and that Jeld-Wen wouldn't replace them. Again, I don't see why that is Jeld-Wen's fault. I would say it's the homeowner's fault for letting them get installed that way. I'm not really sure why people say that Jeld-Wen windows are inferior. They only mention things about the install rather than the windows themselves. And, when they do mention their windows, they don't mention WHICH windows they have. I can't seem to find any specific reviews on JW Premium Vinyl. Hopefully someone who HAS JW Premium Vinyl windows will read this and can give me some feedback.
Consumer Reports: Consumer Reports lists JW Premium Wood Tradition Plus windows, but not JW Vinyl. But, in general, they say that vinyl windows tend to leak air a bit more.
Hoping that someone can give me some expert opinion specifically on JW Premium Vinyl windows.
Thank you!
Find another window company, Jeldwen is a poor quality window in any series. Find another contractor/installer as that is pretty much crap and stick with window peoples advice for windows and not co-workers as what they are telling is not even close to correct if you purchase quality windows. And last but not least, DO NOT buy windows from HD or Lowes.
Jeld-Wen Premium Vinyl windows are very solid product. The sliding windows have the best rolling system on the market and the only aluminum track that I know of. The AAMA C-35 rating is among the highest in the industry for a residential window. The design of the window maximizes glass area which may or may not be important to you. Other manufactures go for a wood window appearance. Again, nothing right or wrong with either just personal choice.
Low-e glass is a proven energy saver and also reduces sunlight damage to interior furnishings. How much you save is totally dependent on where you live and how well insulated your home is. If you live in a warm area you might want to upgrade to Low-e 366. It has a significantly higher solar heat gain coefficient-or the ability to keep direct sunlight heat outside.
As a far a retro fit just make sure you use a quality installer and check a few 4+ year old references.
I have a VERY bad experience with window replacement and Jeld-Wen customer service. I have notified them about a problem around July 20th, and the glass has not been replaced as of today, October 25th. I'm waiting for the next appointment to replace the glass, and it will be in the second half of November!!! The glass was of a wrong size twice, once it arrived broken, and it takes at least 3 weeks to get an appointment with the installers. The customer service representative is simply rude and rarely returns calls.
There is nothing premium about Jeldwin, they are builders grade junk in my opinion as well as many other pro's, same goes for silverline.
Higher grade vinyl windows would be Okna, HiMark, Soft Lite, Sunrise, and Gorell. All of these windows have very high structural ratings, high performance/ energy efficiency numbers, and are made with a much higher grade vinyl. Jeldwin is for contractors who only care about offering cheap products and ignore quality.
I just bought over $11,500.00, worth of custom patio door from Jeld-Wen I wish I chose a different company to deal with. Their support is the worst ever; the workmanship is so low itâÂÂs unbelievable that they are still in business. The windows leak air the locks do not work and the job is sloppy it is unbelievable. It has been about week since I contacted them regarding problem I have not seen a live person to come and solve the hardware problem so I can lock the door. Please if you are thinking about buy doors and window from them think again I live in southern California their support center is in Colorado they like to sell without any support
Earlier this year, we purchased a JELD-WENN door which did not lock. The lock was drilled a quarter inch too high. We had to wait 6-7 weeks for the JELD-WENN representative to fix the problem. In the meantime, we had to nail the door shut.
Last month, we purchased a JELD-WENN triple slider winder. When you open the right-side of the window, the window falls out. The contractor tells us that they installed a 2nd left-side window on the right. So it is upside down. In addition, both sides fit loosely (there is daylight visible at the bottom of both sides of the window).
It appears that there is NO QUALITY CONTROL with this company.
There's no such thing as a "premium vinyl window", ha ha.
No offense, but you really need to take a course in energy efficiency before you make ridiculous assertions such as the one you just made.
There are vinyl windows that have structural ratings that are twice that of the wood windows you are trying to push off. Ask a wood window manufacturer what their air infiltration numbers are and see how forthcoming they are with that information. Well, there is a valid reason for them being elusive when asking a wood window manufacturer their structural and air numbers; they are'nt good !
You simply cannot beat the performance of high end vinyl windows, thats a fact, not a statement i am just throwing out there. A high end vinyl window will also out last a wood window. So, please refrain from making unfounded comments and perhaps you may gain some semblance of credibility and won't come across as some two bit contractor who installs home depot specials.
I do agree with you about one thing, jeldwin make a horrible window.
Through my contractor I bought a JeldWen window at Home Depot. After the window was in for about 3 months I noticed a crack in the frame. It took HD several months to finally file the claim with JeldWen. I have been in constant contact and they refuse to make good on the window. They given me all sorts of reasons why the frame cracked (e.g., Oct, gets cooler so the temperature change may have caused it!), but they refuse to send out a rep or make good on their defective product.
We are building a home in Florida and have been looking at Jeld Wen Vinyl Windows because they have a good price point and are popular in the area. What Florida approved (think impact glass, hurricane ) windows are out there in Vinyl that people recommend? Thanks!
I installed several Jeldwen premium double hung and slider windows approximately 5 years ago and they're looking just as great now as they did the day they were installed. So I think there may be a lot of contractors who aren't really experienced installing windows who install Jeldwen windows, and therefore Jeldwen has a bad name but I think with a good installation job they can be excellent windows. Any window is only as good as the installation.
I'm not a professional window guy or anything, so I don't have a lot to compare them to but in my experience they've been good. Certainly nothing extravagant by any means but they work just fine. Not looking for any arguments just sharing my experience with them. It's likely important to emphasize that these were the premium Jeldwen windows and not their lower end line.
Jeld-Wen premium vinyl windows are not top performers, to be sure, but they are popular in the south because of their SDL options which make them look a lot like a wood window. So, if you're after a high performance windows, Jeld-Wen doesn't fit the bill.
Jeldwen basically purchased 3 companies that were either in or on the verge of bankruptcy making crap windows, lumped them all together as Jeldwen, rebranded the crap companies as their current window lines and went to market. As far as I am concerned they did nothing but put the same crap in new wrapping.

5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
Sooooo, Worth It! - Cypress, TX
When having a procedure of this magnitude. Do your homework. Dr. B is highly accredited & when you meet him you will see why. His staff is friendly & accomodating. They work with you & make the whole process less anxious. Dr. B is a perfectionist & after all that is what we are looking for. I am so happy with my results I am reccomening him to a friend from out of town & offering to let her stay with me, just so she can use him. If you are considering cosmetic surgey. He is worth a consult. Very happy I chose him
5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Dr. is Amazing! - Houston, TX
I went to Dr. B 5 years ago after loosing a significant amount of weight and loosing most of my breast mass. Dr. B and his ENTIRE staff are amazing! Dr. B and his staff took their time in answering all my questions, explaining every aspect of my procedure/surgery. No matter how many questions I had, Dr. B was patient, kind, and informative. The team was very honest with me, so that I had a full understanding of what to expect with my results. I felt like each of them took a genuine interest in me as a person. Just viewing Dr. B's work spoke volumes of his ability. With just meeting him, I felt very confident in choosing him as my surgeon. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff at B Plastic Surgery actually are. I had fabulous results with my breast augmentation and lift. I am even on the website as a before and after! :) I am happy when I look in the mirror naked. That shows how perfectly Dr. B acheived what I was looking for. My breasts look natural, even better than they did before I lost the weight. I couldn't be happier. Because of the fabulous results of my augmentation and the comfort I felt with Dr. B, I went back to him 2 years ago to have liposuction done on my hips and thighs. He completely got rid of my saddlebags on my thighs. I feel confident, secure, and more than pleased with Dr. B. He is an incredible doctor that loves what he does and is amazing at it! His staff (especially Elizabeth) answers all my calls, help make special arrangements for me because I have to travel from out of town to have him as a doctor, and help allieviate any worry I might be having. I live an hour and twenty minutes from Dallas, but drive over 3 hours into Houston in order to have Dr. B as a surgeon.
5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Best Plastic Surgeon in Houston! - Houston, TX
Dr. B is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered in my life. I went on several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons. He made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions. This doc is very thorough. And he listened to my goals to achieve the natural look I wanted. His before and after pictures were simply the best. I ended up booking surgery for breast augmentation and tummy tuck and I am soooo happy with my results! Dora and his staff are genuinely caring and made me feel at home with every visit. I would highly recommend Dr. B to anyone considering cosmetic surgery! He is truly the mommy makeover expert.
5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Great Doc, Great Results
Dr. Basu is approachable, direct, honest, and easy to communicate with and I have always been happy and satisfied with my experience and results. Several of my girlfriends had cosmetic procedures with Dr. Basu and it amazed me how fast they all recovered. They gave him the strongest recommendations. My experience completely exceeded my expectations. I immediately loved my results from my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. He really listened to my goals and I felt he was genuinely mindful of my safety and well-being. I barely needed any pain medications, and I was back to work in less than 2weeks! I HIGHLY recommend this doctor. He is a gifted surgeon and my results speak for itself.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reconstruction
Post Breast Cancer - Houston
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reconstruction
Life Changing Surgery - The Woodlands
He is a skilled and compassionate surgeon.
5 out of 5 stars Body Lift
Lower Body Lift Following Massive Weight Loss!
5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
Why Did I Wait So Long After Gastric Bypass? I Am a NEW Woman!
Recovery following surgery (I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and implants) was rough, but each day was an improvement and the pain meds Dr. B prescribed were a tremendous help. Just make sure you have someone who can be your "nurse" through the recovery process because you will need someone close by to help you. The breast lift didn't "hurt" at all, but the tummy tuck was pretty uncomfortable during recovery and until the drains were removed. I was back at work 2 weeks following surgery on a limited basis.
5 out of 5 stars
I Love the Results - Houston, TX
Excellent Doctor! Dr. Basu took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure. I was really concerned about the location of my scar, he asked me to bring my lowest underwear and he left my scar at that location. Believe it or not by procedure was just about pain free and I am healing up really well. Thank you Doctor Basu and Staff Alba M.
