new construction?

9 years ago

We are building and I'm looking at all my options. Our windows will be white on the exterior and interior. I am more concerned about performance and longevity than looks. The options that i'm looking at are Anderson 100 vs. Simonton vinyl vs. Jen-weld wood clad. Two different builders have recommended different options. What are your takes on these? What would you choose for your forever home?

Where are you located? (Choices can be regional). Out of that list, my only choice would be SImonton, although they have several series.

I live in central Missouri if that makes a difference. I think i'm leaning towards Simonton..

Simonton makes a solid window.

It is a bit on the bulky side of the spectrum and their air leakage numbers are less than stellar but they do have a bunch of options inside the new construction arena.
