We do test some units that have been in the field and they seem to be in the same range as what we see in the factory. but 1% would be a fair guess on what is lost in units. It is very hard to test units in the field because the test involve light readings when the unit sparks the glass. If they are...

It really depends on what type of window it is. If its a replacement window pull the frames If its a a flush fin mount type window then you keep the old frame in. I am a Installation Masters Trainer and they really are very careful with watching out that you restore weather barriers. Good luck with ...

If you keep the old frame in then you will have to have a smaller window to put back in. Also by keeping the old frame in it will be harder to cover the frame and there is also a risk of leaking. In the north we remove all the frame from Alum windows because of condensation. If there a good installe...
