Re: Northeast SHGC and U Vaules ?
Can anyone recomend/spec in the simonton 5500 series or 9800 with a high shgc. The local dealer is telling me U of .30 and SHGC 0.24 for double hung with top grid is as good as I can get.... Or another brand that would have the right vaules. Low U and High SHGC
Thank you
Thank you

Re: Northeast SHGC and U Vaules ?
So are we talking shgc numbers above .40 above 30? I have seen some windows that only go down to U of .28-.29 and shgc numbers.36-.40.
