Power/Pella Symphony windows

#1 Post by DaveyBoyBlue »

What are your thoughts on Power/Pella Symphony windows? The touted features include two different pane thicknesses for better soundproofing, “welded” frame corners that are supposed to be better than screwed together, silver deposition for reduced thermal conductivity, 50-year warranty. Are there other windows with these features? Also, Power seems to have a poor record of dealing with complaints - based on Yelp & BBB searches. Any thoughts on the company?

That list of features (outside of offset glazing) is pretty standard stuff even for the worst vinyl windows.

Rather than focus on the features, it would be wise to look at the thermal and structural performance ratings of any precast that you are considering. U value, shgc, condensation resistance, Air Infiltration, and Design Pressure are all important.
