They build and okay product but nothing remotely premium in comparison to what is out there.

I am guessing that vinyl is the choice you are going with?

There are some really nice vinyl options out there today and building the home from the ground up, I would suggest that you spend a bit more on the window schedule and have a tighter and more efficient home.

Thank you windowsonwashington. Our contract has us going with Anderson 400 but the gc also mentioned Earthwise. I am guessing you would say go with Anderson, right?

Why andersen 400? Its basically an average window with very poor/ high air leakage numbers. The earthwise is probably better designed than the andersen.
Do you have an okna, sunrise, or quantum 2 dealer in your area?

It depends on which Earthwise product. They are a network of around a dozen manufacturers, and there are some that are better than others. I can say that the Innovations product by HomeGuard is a very nice option.

"Innovations" is a very solid window and the best by far when it comes to Earthwise.
