Re: What's the Real Difference between Simonton Windows??

For any region that experiences winter I would not use the Low-e 366 it has a very low solar heat gain coefficient and the glass is a bit dark. I would use this glass in the South only. Choose a glass pack with the standard softcoat low-e glass Ahh, got ya, was thinking it was the other way around....

Question About the "Get Assistance" Form

How good is the vetting process for contractors who contact you after using the get assistance link at the top of the page?

Is this any contractor can sign up for, or do they have to prove a reliable track record with quality installs & customer service?

Re: Dazed and Cornfused in WY: Need Replacement Window Advice

Wyoming has some brutal weather. I've seen overnight snow in August in the higher elevations, followed by a 90 day. A typical evening there in the summer is in the 60's. Triple pane would probably be your best bet. If you can, stay away from the big box stores. Look for a local guy who can get you ...

Re: Dazed and Cornfused in WY: Need Replacement Window Advice

What I mean is that given your exposure, you may want to combine an efficient window with solar/thermal shades. If you get that kind of exposure, you would probably benefit from some of the passive solar in the winter to assist in heating the home. Going with most triple pane windows will bring the...

You are probably going to need to look at a combination window and window treatment to manage energy flow.
Can you please expand on this a little?

Have also been looking at triple pane windows, might go that way if the savings over 20 years will justify the additional cost.
