Does anyone have detailed spec sheets for the most suggested brands for new install (not retrofit) situations? Specific stuff including leakage, STC ratings, full lists of options, structural test results etc. Not just "Some of our windows are r-5" which is what most of the websites seem to contain.
Bad websites and little technical information available publicly, no matter how good the company and/or product, does not inspire confidence. I don't really care that you use 11 layers of something, what I want to know is the proven performance that I will see as a customer.
I know you all are very big supporters of these guys, and some of you seem to have great detailed answers, but I want to do my own research before going to see a sales person. Who, of course, are going to support whatever brand they are selling (again, no matter how good or not.)
Just to be clear, it isn't that I don't trust all of you faceless internet people, but I dont trust you all with $20k+ of my money ;) What I do trust is that you are steering me the right way and I am willing to put in the time/effort to research.
BTW: the two required numbers are the air leakage and the STC of the windows, as the other important numbers are mandated to be available in the end anyway. STC is a the tougher one to find though, with many saying "about 35." Which is not good enough since "about" means it hasn't been confirmed and won't be considered a failure if it is not achieved (given the right install and other characteristics). I want a true test of the relative sound blocking/absorbing characteristics of the window before I even consider it.
