thanks!

how bad is 0.38? seems like a small difference but i don't know how significant .03 is. just curious.

hi all.

if i understand correct, windows with a u-factor of 0.38 and SHGC of 0.59 would not be considered energy star in the northeast, correct? it needs a u-factor of less than or equal to 0.35, right? just want to be sure.

thanks!

wow--thanks for the info. i have steam heat and fish tanks, so th RH in my home is always high. i just installed new windows and in some parts of the house i get it, and it is where the fish tank is or near where the steam vent is. great stuff. i didn't go for the top of the line windows, so i know ...

thanks! i am having to re-do one of the windows. i did everything i could to get it level, and it was just a little off. like the bubble was touching the line rather than right in the middle. but today i was noticing that you can tell on the bottom it is off. i need to take it out and re-do it asap....

inside, yes. they have lowE, but no argon gas. they aren't that close to the shower, and the one that would be closer has no problem.

i installed 11 new replacement windows. i just installed my last two yesterday, and when i woke up this am there was condensation on the bottom 2 inches of both panes. what did i do? they were in my garage for the past 2 weeks stored upright and on a lean. did i break a seal somehow, or are these tw...

before i try and dump 40 old window weights, do people reuse these things? think there is someone who would actually want them (not for $$ but just to take them)?????

the windows are finally coming in today and i will be installing them. thanks for the heads up on the weights. i was wondering how i was going to get them out--figured i would pull them from the top out. i don't know if there is an inspection 'window', i'll look. for the person who posted about the ...

ahh--thanks.

i think the picture is a cross cot of the window--no storm.

thoughts? can anyone tell me if this sounds like the makings of a good window?

all very interesting, thank you. while i am no means a professional window installer, i have a lot of experience with home improvement, and feel i can tackle the job myself with the assistance of another friend with similar experience. i don't have a ton of instore options around here, and like most...

thanks--i appreciate the honesty. $300 installed would mean about $150 a window or $200 a window, right? I am doing the install, which is where i was looking to go.
