There is many more days over 100 here than below Zero if that matters.

Re: replacement casement window options?

WoW, since I don't quite understand what you mean ( surface 4) in your last paragraph, does this link to the glass packages I was talking about give the info you mentioned between the omega 12 (with thermal U plus) and the AR90 ? https://www.sunrisewindows.com/windows/performance-efficiency/low-e-gl...

Re: replacement casement window options?

Another question I have is OSI Quad vs NPC solar seal. Is there much difference? It looks like the OSI is mentioned more.

Re: replacement casement window options?

I went to Wichita and visited MAE and bought the Sunrise restoration Casement pocket windows with the double pane Omega 12 glass package S2210a w/thermal U Plus vs the triple pane N3200a glass package I was originally looking at since they are closely rated. The SHGC rating is .01 better and that's ...

Re: replacement casement window options?

Another question I have is do I want inserts or full frame. The higher bid company said he suggested full frame because they did that in about 80 percent of their jobs. The other guy said I didn't need full frame window replacement but it would ad about $250/opening if they did. I only have one wind...

Re: replacement casement window options?

The other company earlier quoted $22,721.90 for triple pane Sunrise Restoration pocket installed casement windows like the latest bid I received. Both installs are similar, flashing tape, OSI caulking and low expanding foam. Am I missing something why there is $4K difference in the price? One compan...

Re: replacement casement window options?

Yes I have the funds. I want to get the best cash price without down grading to a cheaper window. I've checked about getting the $600 tax credit.....was hoping for more.

Re: replacement casement window options?

the glass brand is " Omega 12" in the Restorations. What's that mean, S2100a 2 pane? They said the N3200A triple pane was $1344 more than the S2100a....is it worth the extra money?
