Going from a U value of .32 to a .30 in the NW...What diff??
Oregon has a refund program run by an organization named the Energy Trus. They give rebates based on insullation measures taken on homes. They have recently lowered these U - values from a .32 to qualify to a .30. Now I ask you this, what kind of dif will this make in a temperate climate such as the...

Now Now, I wouldn't go around spreading rumors about a topic you obviously know nothing about. Milgard has been offering the lifetime warranty since 1988 and WILL honor it, even in many inproperly applied instances once or twice, but if it is a reoccuring problem with the same contractor, Milgard ha...

I would suggest hiring a liscensed and bonded professional to do the job. Preferrably with an AAMA certifiaction. If you have stucco siding, I would suggest a Milgard Z-Bar window, or also called a stucco flange window. You can purchase these one at a time, depending on where you buy them. Look at M...

I would stick with the Milgard, seeing as how they are built locally and offer great service and warranty work, but I'm biased. Looks as though nobody else has any advice for you , so stick with what you know. As far as install questions, I live in the pacific NW and am not familiar with your area ,...

Guess it is all in your viewpoint, but I think that the picture is taken at an angle and gives the impression that the window has uneven sightlines. If you look at any Classic head on, the glass is exaclty the same size. Not to be argumentative or make excuses, it is just in a body's perception. We ...

As far as Milgard not being symetrical..are you sure you were looking at the Classic. The Classic 'does' have even sight lines, the Styleline does NOT. The windows you were shown may have been misrepresented by a poorly trained rep. Both are good companies, so compare the warranties online if you ar...

The decision is all yours, and you should look at the main reasons you are replacing your windows. A good double pane, with Low E, argon (krypton isn't really that much better), and super spacer should give you all the insulation you need. The triple pane really only will pay off in climates that ar...

First - the U-Value. I would encourage you to contact the contractor that gave you the bid on the Milgard Windows and let him/her know what U-Value you would like to meet. There are numerous, I mean NUMEROUS, glass options, spacer options, etc to achieve the most efficient U-Value and energy perform...
