Re: Performance Ratings vs "Features"

After looking at the numbers and a little reading they appear to be same window. The Delmar is the only one that can have foam but the gains are very little, the extra weatherstripping and differences in sash reinforcement almost add nothing as well. The biggest difference I see that comes standard ...

Re: Performance Ratings vs "Features"

Yes, the fiberglass and foam enhance the thermal numbers.
The LC designation is old and not really used anymore but seem low.
Have you gave them eye test?
It is hard to argue with your reasoning without knowing more.
What are the 2 lines of windows you comparing?

Re: Incorrectly framed new window installation

Might even need a double 2x8. It should have specced out in the plans used to get the permit. The 2nd effort was much improved. But still a hack job.

Re: Performance Ratings vs "Features"

You could look at the DP and air infiltration numbers as well, this could be more telling. I think this sash reinforcement would be a worthwhile, this could increase the DP rating and Eliminate future sagging issues. The solar numbers should be compared. To answer your question more simply, it depen...

Re: Over- and Under-whelmed!

The UltraWelds have a thicker frames , sashes. But is a stout unit. The Sunrise has slimmer lines . In double hungs I’d take the Ultra weld for its stronger frame and sash. If casements I’d go with the Sunrise. Both can be had in double or triple pane if you want to put the pricing on more equal gro...

Re: replacement windows

That price is high unless there is something very unusual going on . Sometimes mulled units get confused as one window for example. The Pro-Via is alright but not top quality and would not warrant that price. Homesealed is top notch in product and installation with a solid history in case any proble...

Re: Window Trim Challenge

It looks like it may be flush finned window. If that’s the case I think it would be best to remove the window if the wood needs replacing.

Re: Exterior Trim Install Question

I’m not quite sure what’s going on there but it doesn’t look good.
It appears they removed the original J. What is that black gap?
The aluminum work is shoddy at best. Some pics a little further back might help.

Re: ProVia Endure whole house replacement

It is better than the other options. I don’t think Colorado gets the better brands often mentioned here. Hard to say on the glass, there is more to it. Than direction they face. Triple panes may be worth looking into.
