I think that is about dead on the money for your situation and likely what I would and have recommended.

Post the number up to start with.

Also, look in the upper sash pocket (where the top sash goes into the frame) as well as on the top of the sash frame and the sides (if it is a fold out capable window).

Re: Spacer update?

The more I read the more confused I get. One report says you can get the Intercept with tin or stainless steel. But most ads just avoid the fact that is a metal spacer. I would say that the consensus seems to be that the EdgeTech SuperSpacer is the overall best. But, Cardinal XLEdge stainless steel...

Do either a Google or board search on it and you should find all you need to know. There was enough blame to go around for everybody when the collective Kimchi hit the fan. The company that sold it blamed the companies that glazed it and so on.

I know that Milgard uses Cardinal and has the new Low-e 366 coating available. It is under the name of SunCoat Max.

That is just who I am thinking of off the top of my head. There are many others.

Ask Alside about what they call "Energy Tabs"

They are extra pieces of weather stripping that they put into the corners of the meeting rails to cut down on air infiltration.

I have to agree with FenEx on this one. I wouldn't put a window in the South facing section of my home with a U-factor in the ranges that your are quoting and I live in the Washington, DC area....hardly comparable to Minnesota in any climate respects. I think whatever warming effects are to be had b...

Pull the top sash down if they are double hungs and look on top of the sash frame.

Depends on the aesthetic value to you. You actually get a little more glass with the Barrington vs. the Elements/Imperial LS. Energy data is very close with U-Factors of .29 vs .31. The air infiltration on the Elements is a bit better at .01 vs .04. I would also ask for the Bainbridge model as oppos...
