In your situation i would go with a window with maximum solar gain and get blind that have Low-E if such a blind exist. I was told by Sunrise Window com. that the blinds in there windows have a Low-E coating on them but i do not know if this is true. Maybe someone here does and will post if this is ...

DavinCincy, The bottom line of how I would have stack my checklist: a. find a good installer b. select the best window the selected installer has to offer VA-Windows I agree; If the installation is not good, (water damage, air leaks, do not work properly etc.) you may have been better off with the ...

I was considering Schuco but Schuco would not let me use the installer that I know would do good a good job; but they almost did. The window dealer that was selling the Schuco windows is like 185 miles from here, that is a very long drive to come back to correct problems I may encounter. If Schuco w...

Guy, I understand where your coming from with your post, but the title of this thread is not accurate. You are not impressed with the window you described; I may be wrong, but I thought sunrise's casement is a decent window.

Take a look at Sunrise Windows.

"1/4" might not seem to be alot but you could pull a knotted string thru it."

handyman19619, He did not say knotted string, he said knotted shoestring; there would BIG difference in knot size. It is not clear to me if he actually pulled the knots through.

omaha, We had casement windows installed not all that long ago (not Shuco) and the next day, (after they were installed) i closed the house up as tight as i could, locked all windows and doors, close flue in the fireplace plugged off furnace flue; than i turned on an exhaust fan that we have in our ...

"This window buying is very confusing."


It was for me also, but in the end, Renewal ended up being the window for me. No regrets whatsoever.

FedEx What windowrep is asking for is also what I would like to know. If U-factors range went from 1.00 to 0.00 (which they don't), it would be much clearer for a window shopper to understand the % difference in efficiency from one window to the next. Then a window with a U-factor of 0.30 would be 7...

Hi Guy, Lets say ... a (single pane) will gives me $1.00 return per year, a (double pane) will give me $8.00 return per year, and a (triple pane) will give me $11.00 return per year. Now, going from (single pane) to (triple pane), I will net gain $10.00 per year. Now, going from (double pane) to (tr...

FenEx, look at what you are saying here...."If trip/kryp .22 windows saved someone $1,000 per year on their energy bills, than the dbl/arg .33 would save about $700. If you are talking 15 windows at a cost of $50 per for the upgrade that's $750. At the present rate of energy cost increases of a...

FenEx, you wrote..."If trip/kryp .22 windows saved someone $1,000 per year on their energy bills, than the dbl/arg .33 would save about $700. If you are talking 15 windows at a cost of $50 per for the upgrade that's $750. At the present rate of energy cost increases of about 30% per year, the a...

Thanks for your reply.... Just to give me a rough idea; If the house is very tight and well insulated, then what percentage of heat loss will be through windows that are U 0.22 verses windows that are 0.33 with 10% glass area? One other question I have is...Does the S.H.G.C change, depending on what...
