Window Comments
I've installed 25 of these of various sizes in a 17 year old house that had single pane double hung. They are generally of decent quality and easy to install. I have run across a few quality issues. Surround grills didn't fit properly on some windows. Lock hardware screws overtightened/stripped on a few and one window with a missing counterbalance engagement pin. Fit between the upper and lower sash needed planing on a couple. Like the low E glass and quietness from the double pane.

Price Information
Purchased thru Home Depot at their usual prices. MW window sash kits from Lowes are cheaper but I preferred Jeld-Wenn because of treated wood and aluminum cladding (vs. vinyl for MW)

I am replacing several windows in a 22 year-old house. What I had isn't nearly the quality of the Zap-Paks I'm installing. I found it's very important to make sure your existing window casing is square and level, as my house had settled and caused a lot of movement within the window casings, including bowing and out-of-square. Where needed, I am rebuilding the casings, replacing the sills and brick molding with vinyl. I am also replacing the pieces of the casing that are rotted or warped. This way I'm sure what's going back in that hole, not something inferior to what I had. Oh, and don't forget the Great Stuff around the edges and under the sill if you've replaced parts of the casing. Bought them all at Home Depot during a sale for just over $300 each. All double hung, with low-E glass and wooden frames. Very please with the quality and the ease of installation. To paraphrase an earlier comment, this product is only as good as the quality of the installation.

You'll be disappointed. This is a DIY replacement double-hung window. While it looks nice, there are so many negatives that I can not recommend it. The biggest disappointment is that the double-paned window does not block out any outside noise. NONE. The hollow vinyl side panels seem to act as sound chambers, amplifying noises rather than reducing them. There is no hardware to assist you in opening or closing the window, and because of that, it is hard to open & close. The built-in 'finger plow' is ineffectual. The window does not tilt in, so cleaning will be problematic. The screen is not built-in. You have to buy a full screen that gets screwed in place and covers the entire window, frame & glass. Very ugly solution. You'll have to caulk the frame inside and out to prevent drafts. In short, stay away.
