I have received several estimates for double hung replacement windows w/double pane, low-e w/argon for Simonton 5500, Alside Ultramax and Soft-Lite Imperial. All the bids are coming in around $425 a window except the Alside at $500. I like the Soft-lite but question the technical data. Soft-Lite rates the window at a 50 but when I look at the actual data from AAMA/NWWDA there are several sample windows tested and the ratings range from 20-50 with the bigger windows tested getting lower ratings. Also the Air Filtration rate on one sample only was .08, Water Resistance Test Pressure 7.5 psf, U value of .26 at center, Visible light of .53 and SHGC. of .39. Any thoughts on the Soft-Lite data?
