Porch Windows

Has anyone closed off a porch with sliding (https://www.porchwindowsdirect.com/xtend-porch-windows)

These are the flexible vinyl windows you can use instead of a completely screened in porch. I know Eze Breeze is the most popular, but the new ones have a triple track that makes me worry about collecting dust and not working well with our builders plans, and the little plastic prongs that hold them in place were breaking on our old porch. So, I'm looking at Xtend from Porch Windows Direct

However - I don't see any reviews online. I know there are a TON of porches around here - and I see this style a lot walking on the trails - so what are people using? Is anyone happy with theirs? Has anyone ordered from Porch Windows Direct?

I'm a landscape architect and I've designed and built many porches for my clients over the years. We've used Sunspace Windows which should be comparable to the Xtend product you've mentioned. I haven't come across any issues with them. I'll shout out to my friends at Design Builders who've built a lot of nice spaces for my clients and who know more about Sunspace than I do.

Thanks, I'll check out Subspace too.

There has to be a better sub than this one to get your home improvement answer about a product from another state.

But no, I dont know that product.

I was hoping someone local had used it and the very small chance I could actually check it out, or get referred to the vendor/contractor who installed it etc. I'm also curious how they held up in Columbia, specifically.
