Re: Comparable to Champion 360 for heat/cold not passing through
AI is a number from a structural test that tells how much air leaks througb the window at a wind speed of 25 MPH.
It is the third test number that you must consider along with U and SHGC.
The lower the number the better. ie .14 is 7 times more leaky than .02.

Re: Lead Safe Renovating Charge?
the prices you were quoted for low performing product with barely acceptable installation is a rip off.
Look for Simonton, Sunrise, Okna, Soft-lite, or Gorell.
Also find an independent pro with 10 years minimum experience .
I tell my customers to $200 per window. If we can do it for less we will.

Re: Are these reasonable prices?
Good point.
One quote could be as insert install and the other could be new construction stlye( jamb extension, stool and perimeter casing).
I doubt that is the difference. I bet we are looking at one low bid and one high bid and two drastically different products.

Re: House alarm sensor practice?
It could happen that I might damage a product, but it hasn't.
But I have had two different alarm companies drill into the glass of new windows I have installed.

Re: Are these reasonable prices?
IMO and with out seeing the particulars of your project 475 to 600 per would be market average.
You might also consider looking at Soft-lite, Gorell, Simonton, or Sunrise.

Re: Marvin vs. Simonton windows
So you have found two good installers, now the product.
Do you like the look of both , can you afford both, what is the thermal performance of both and what do you want it to be?
Answering those question will help you decide.
Both products will do a great job for you.

Re: Window Woes
Wow. Well I can only hear your side of the story but mostly you sound easy going and not overly critical. You did mention one item that I see as non important, the black/scuff marks on the bottoms. Do you see the bottoms or think they affect the operation? What does your contract say about the produ...

Re: Update to Help needed in Texas-- Alside vs. NT Window
My son-in-law Greg runs the DFW area for me. The air space can be sealed around the window opening. I do not know if I think it is needed, it will not hurt and probably has a benefit worth considering, but that would be a good discussion with Randy, also would like to see some test data on the method.
