Vinyl Replacement window advice for the confused
Vinyl Replacement window advice for the confused
I'm finding the various reviews and websites rather overwhelming and sometimes contradictory. I want to replace 40-year-old windows and a patio door (9 windows) soon. My choices of installer and product may be limited. What ones really work for a cold northern climate and a reasonable cost?

Pretty simple actually, the performance ratings are independently tested, tell you how a product will ACTUALLY perform, and are excellent indicators of overall quality. The top products are getting u values under .26 in double pane, double hung, and air infiltration ratings of as low as .01.

You have two major components to this decision...
1. product selection
2. Installation
each is critical for a successful project.
