Pro Very nice pic of a quality cap job. Guy I agree with you. it just makes sense to remove wide mulls when ever possible . It actually makes for a better job and increased glass area. also eliminates the need to insulate the cavity between the windows. I still dont know what to think of your differ...

Unless you get a bid on three products and they are all the same thing. Thats when it gets ugly. # 3 equal products for #3 unequal prices and maybe the same window or at minimum apples to apples.
Thats what we are here for Thermo.

Fen ,Guy and Thermo I am just a caveman in my approach. I am not used to your advanced and strange ways. Please dont hold me to the standards of modern man. I only believe if its broke fix it. Common sense dictates reason and all else is BS and costs me(meaning consumer) money. Unless some sales tac...

Pro
If you could post a picture of what was done I am sure I might be able to answer your question.
My question to you is. Why didnt you bring this to the attention of your installer after he did 1 or 2 windows. Instead of waiting untill the whole job was done?

Guy Wouldnt windows be a good place to start with any energy problem anyway? If wind is blowing through the sashes and frames then isnt it a no brainer? Insulate the attic? No brainer. Tell you what . After replacing the windows and insulating the attic. Possibly even after replacing all the leaking...

U Sorry to hear you have to start all over. Where do you live? Maybe others can help you find what you need at a fair price. Its to bad you have to give up on a specific brand because they allow monopolies on territories. When customer service,expierence,and installation count as much or more . Than...
