| So, I know enough to compare U-Value, SHGC and VLT, but what else? Let's leave appearance out of the equation for right now. Are there any good websites that review windows outside of consumer reports? Our builder is pushing Visions 3000 windows for a $350,000 / 2067 sq home. I am researching everything that goes into the home and like to start my research using more of a clean slate approach and narrow down our options as we learn more. |

| Krypton is better than argon gas between the glass Warranty: life time and transferrable No aluminum Corners: Welded and fused Greatest number in pvc/sq in in corners for strength warm edge technology to buffer neat and cold transfer West facing: low SHGC, built in shading, The AAMA windows at HD are Andersen 8500 or 9500 series to get accurate date The Jeld Wen windows at HD are the Prem Tradition Ellison Windows manufacturer # 8008469556 to get data needed and manufacturer of their windows. YOu will be shocked. |

| FYI...Krypton is throwing your money away in a double pane window. Where the home is located has an awful lot to do with what window criteria are more heavily weighted. |
