Fenex:

Which window would you recommend for my situation?

Also, I read in some other posts that you were in Las Vegas for a convention? Had you been to Vegas before? Did you like it?

Thanks,
rebman

Southern and Southwestern states often have large windows in them that Schuco will not make in a triple glazed unit, only their double glazed. Their double glazed glass has a SHGC that is too high for areas where cooling is the primary concern.

Simonton and Alside will both offer double glazed units with SHGC in the .28 - .30 range which will serve you well.
Thanks again for the info! Our windows definitely are fairly large and there are a lot of them and cooling is our biggest worry, not heating....
