Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

There you go. Beat me to the punch.

Will get you a suggestion here in the next day, but I would agree that none of the 3 are blowing me out of the water.

Where in TN?

I would give Continental Siding a call. While they are a bit outside your area, I am told they will cover St. Louis.

Tell them Eric at Windows on Washington referred them.

We will dig you up a recommendation.

What part of St. Louis?

Any and all manufacturers should have a 3 coat Low-e (Low-e 366 by Cardinal most likely) for your region. I would ask any of the folks for that glass solar range.

If you haven't called the folks at HomeSealed...perhaps they are the company...but do call them if you haven't yet called them.

Happy Easter.

To your point, any product with an attention to detail like air infiltration, something that Okna does very well, will help with noise.

Where is the home, region of the country, located?

I would say neither, but if forced into a binary decision tree, the Simonton is the better unit.

$500 a window? Or total?

Not familiar with the New South product, but the Soft-Lite is well regarded.

The OSI stuff is kind of the default. DAP 230 isn't bad either.

Let's see some pictures but what you are describing so far sounds more install related than product to be honest.
