Fenex, I do have Gorell windows installed on my house, and they do not have additional insulation stuffed around them, just the closed cell foam, which by the way does an excellent job of stopping air infiltration. Fiber insulation only functions if it is lose (ask the people who make it), if it is ...

Va-DC shopper, I will try to answer some of your questions. Grids do vary by manufacturer. The majority of grids are rectangular boxes which look fine from a distance but have no intrinsic beauty.

Karl, We make a tilt and slide window, as well as many versions of sliders that do not tilt, but the sash easily remove to the inside for cleaning.

Dear Cheryl, We have just announced offering blinds in our sliding patio doors. We do not offer blinds with low e glass as we too are concerned the blind would mar the low e finish, and since there is no low e, there is no gas fill as it would not impove the energy efficiency. If you want the conven...
