Hi guys,

I need help regarding an issue with an octagon window in my half bath. The rough opening is 23.5" by 23.5". Ive tried to find a replacement for my 28 year old octagon wooden window and this doesnt seem to be an easy task. The window is all rotted and I just moved into the place a year ago. I want to replace it before it begins to leak. Ive been replacing the current windows in the home with andersen 400 series dbl hung since they too are all rotted. I tried to get an andersen octagon window but the minimum rough opening is 24.5" x 24.5" and this would obviously leave me with an inch difference on each end. Im familiar with the andersen installation using their flange setup. I was looking at the pella octagon but this windows doesnt have flanges but require stops? I also dont want to replace it with a $100- dollar window at home depot. I would like something in vinyl construction or at least wood with vinyl exterior. Any ideas where I could look? I also dont want to modify the exterior clap board. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

Century octagon

Aaron,

Did you ever get any feedback on the Century vinyl clad, vented octagon window? I have the same issue in regard to the rough opening and additionally I'm relocating for work in a little over a year. I'd like to get a decent window so as not to adversely affect resale and I had considered the Andersen 400 series as well but don't want to go overboard for a place I'm only going to be in ~ 1 yr more. Bottom line - any info on Century and/or any other manufacturers you found that make a decent mid-level window would be greatly appreciated.
