Tempest aluminum windows are made differently than most other windows. Instead of one single extrusion, frame members are two separate extrusions with a rigid vinyl insulating connector in between to act as a thermal barrier. The inside and outside parts of the frame section are painted or anodized separately from one another to allow mixing and matching of finish colors and methods.

We are doing a full gut renovation and combining two apartments. One apartment had double-hung windows and the other had casements. We needed to demo the casements and to have the new windows match the double-hungs. Our architect has worked with Panorama Windows in the past and they were highly recommended. The windows were manufactured on time, were a perfect match for the existing double-hungs and installed correctly. Our G.C. also told us that he had nothing but praise for the installers. The company is a pleasure to work with.

Panorama is a fabulous company with a fabulous staff. The home office staff is always accessible and the field, repair and installation team is absolutely first class. Very professional in every respect, very clean and attentive to detail and a pleasure to have in your home. We strongly recommend them. Harold & Carole M

Working with Stewart Ackerman was a rewarding experience. Seldom if ever during my 50 years living and working in New York City have I had such a productive and smooth professional relationship with a contractor. He is prompt, he pays attention to details (of which the client may not be aware), he is always accessible, and he delivers on time. He has a seasoned team of workers on staff who share his values. Panorama Windows is a superior company selling and installing outstanding products: windows and doors. I recommend this company without any reservations.

We hired Panorama Glass to build a shower enclosure for our home in Hampton Bays. They delivered an excellent product, ahead of schedule and at the price they promised. The salespeople and installers were excellent. In fact, when we had a minor disagreement over one installation issue Panorama resolved the issue to our satisfaction within an hour. I can't say enough good things about their work.

Extremely pleased with the new Panorama windows recently installed in our NYC apartment. In addition to the improved appearance, they are quieter and more airtight than the ones we had before. Clearly a superior product. Installation crew and customer service were excellent. Service: Window installation

Doug Simpson returned my call promptly and so did the sales person assigned to come take measurements in my Manhattan condo. Unfortunately I have been waiting for a proposal for 3 weeks. Salesman came on March 24th and was very polite and professional. He did advise us that we would not get a proposal until after Passover which I respected. Knowing Passover ended April 4th I called on April 6th and left a voicemail.
No response as yet. Two other vendors had sent me detailed proposals within 48 hours of having taken measurements. Panorama was the first vendor I reached out to, yet the last ones in submitting a proposal. When making this type of investment (new windows and doors), the turn-around time and responsiveness is critical to me. If it is lacking at the outset before any payments have been made, I fear that once any payments are made it will only get worse. Very disappointing, I had high hopes based on first impressions and positive reviews here.

Panorama installed a window in my apartment in a listed building on the Upper West Side. They handled all of the paperwork with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, were extremely easy to work with, and did a quick and careful job, keeping the building manager's, super's, and everyone else's needs in mind. After over a year, everything is great and I am very happy with their work. Mike Robarge is the person who helped me, and he was fantastic. He was a great communicator, very competent, and went out of his way to be helpful. I had a great experience with Panorama and recommend them highly.

I was unsure if I had to replace or repair the windows in my apartment in a 170 year-old townhouse. Peter Folsom looked at the space in the context of the building and confirmed that repair would respect the style of the building and accomplish much of what I wanted to do. He could have recommended new windows for a high cost but understood that price was significant to us and that we would be satisfied with repairing the windows. He was most gracious. Now I will find a craftsperson who will do the work.

Panorama Windows and project manager Peter Folsom came highly recommended to us by many people in the construction business. We had 10 large windows in a 100 yo Co-op. Needless to say that always presents issues, Co-op boards, Land Mark Commission permits etc. Peter Folsom was so knowledgeable, and so well versed in the procedures that were needed, that the job went seamlessly!
I cannot imagine ever getting the job done without his expertise. The job was done ahead of time and at budget. The windows look great and I am forever grateful. Thank you Peter and Panorama Windows.

All the people associated with Panorama Windows were very professional and a pleasure to work with. We made our decision to contact Panorama through a reference from a neighbor. The crew who installed the windows were very efficient, polite and professional. The job was done in good time and very neatly. We made a good decision to go with Panorama and will be sure to recommend them.

Panorama Windows was great to work with. Their engineers answered all my questions from day 1. When they came to install the windows, they did it very quickly and they were clean (considering they had to take four pretty large old windows out and install four new windows). After the installation we told them one of the windows needed to be adjusted and they sent someone to fix it very quickly. So very satisfied overall.

I was recommended to Panorama Windows by a friend who had used them to install new windows in her Upper East Side apartment). Having heard great things, I sent Panorama a request for a quote for new windows for my apartment, but didn't hear back. Called them and spoke with Doug Simpson who asked me to resend the quote (which he confirmed he received on the phone). Waited 3 days. no quote. Emailed Doug again (3rd time emailing trying to get pricing) requesting an update, or even a quote (one can dream).
No email. no response. no quote. nothing. If you're interested in wasting your time and energy trying to get pricing, these are the guys to spend some time with. If I could give them 0 stars I would, because there was 0 customer service or interest in their customers. If its this hard just to get pricing, imagine what the installation process must be like. wow.

Panorama Windows did a terrific job -- they knew their stuff and the quality control on my new terrace door averted a problem later on. When it came time for installation, they were careful and cleaned up AND brought on extra folks to make sure they would meet my deadline. Windows, doors, you name it -- Panorama did a great job. AND they do cost-effective repairs as well if you have any problem with windows from another vendor.

Panorama replaced all of the windows in our apartment with a double-pane, energy-efficient model. The work was done well, and on schedule by crews who clearly took pride in their work. A shout out to Jackie, who handled the scheduling, and Mike, who guided us through the entire process, were accommodating and helpful at every step of the way. The windows, themselves, have lived up to our expectations.
They keep the cold out in the winter and the heat out in the summer, and look great. In fact they shut out even more city noise than we had anticipated. In short, we are very happy we purchased the windows through Panorama and feel that we received good value for our money. So why are we not giving a perfect 5-star rating? There is one piece of the puzzle that Panorama has not developed yet-screens that work with the windows. Windows of this quality should have screens to complete the package. Panorama has assured us that they are working on a solution. When they deliver on that assurance we will increase their rating to a perfect 5.

Although the windows installed are beautiful, it has taken the company 5 separate trips (and counting) to install the window guards. The locks should have been installed upon initial instillation while the apartment was under construction. The work is extremely invasive and dirty. They have chipped paint, blown metal shards into the carpet and failed to complete the job one too many times. Defensively, the men claim to be only "workers". However, I believe that they should have the know-with-all (considering that they do this every day and are "professionals") to do the job right the first time. UGH
