Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Jeld-Wens. Pretty sure they do this since it is cheaper than upgraded spacers and foam filled . In general, I would disagree on West and North facing windows. West windows get the highest amount of sun and I would consider 366 there. I seem many home get over heated on the west, especially if there ...

The only place I see anyone pushing a high solar heat gain is Menards. They stick windows on shelf with a 0.30 U and 0.51 solar. If you were to special order you would have to select the glass pack. For me the data is not that clear cut since there are to many variables from house to house, I find i...

On a side note , what extrusion is the Majestic window based on? They do have some pretty good permanent numbers.

Homesealed, I agree with what your saying but my point was it is typically not the manufacturer promoting this. Going from what original poster said 366 and similar glass packs may be what he is looking for. I have many jobs in my northern climate where I recommend 366 type glass packages. I have no...

Manufacturers typically don’t promote glass packages. From my experience they offer a standard default package . It is up to the dealer in my experience to convey what their knowledge to the homeowners and discuss the available options.

You will not know if they’ll come down unless you try.
The performance numbers will vary depending on what glass package you use. Okna will have a glass packagage similar , just ask.

I would perhaps try giving Mike a ring?

Is the real question “ Is the Okna 600 worth $256 dollars more per window?”?

I would go with there recommendation. The Sunrise door always has positive feedback.

I would keep them all the same and use the same dealer as the one doing the windows.

The Pro is pretty good at what it does, and I would have no problem with that window in my house. 5k is 5k no matter how. Many days you chop it into and the difference in performance numbers is so small it is irrelevant IMO.
For $5200 I bought 2 jet skis on trailer and a nice street bike.

The step downs are clear but small. The biggest difference will be the installation and the company backing it.

The top window is the Element for Soft-Lite and the 800, the LS and 600 are a step down.

Never seen a gap that large, even with cheap windows. Wonder if some serviced the glass and botched it.
There should be a sticker in the head of the window frame when the sash is open that gives all the information needed to get the parts. It is not the gold or silver sticker usually white.

I would ask for pricing on the ThermalWeld plus, I personally like this unit better than the UltraWeld
The pricing you got is excellent perhaps a little low?
