Re: Serious Windows

I'm not sure who is pushing the 1125 series? Serious knows this window is costly. The best bang for the buck is the 925 series. I think the point to make about this window is the performance in terms of u-value in conjunction with SHGC flexibility. Not everyone wants low SHGC #'s. All of this is ach...

Re: Serious Windows

As far as butt joints go I would recommend reading the air and water infiltration numbers. To debate vinyl vs.fiberglass is a waste of time.
