Look into Enerlux windows. They are fiberglass and very efficient as well. They offer double or triple pane.

Awesome, thank you. I took a screen shot and I'll look into it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

There was some discussion of passive solar for heating. For this you will want a window with a high solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). You will want to pay attention to the risk of overheating in the summer. To prevent this you can add shading devices on the exterior above the window (i.e. an "eyebrow") which can be designed to allow winter sun in and block summer sun (due to the difference in sun angle in the different seasons). Windows facing south have the most potential for solar heat gain. Windows facing west have the most risk for overheating because the gain comes in the warm part of the day and it's hard to shade unwanted sun (to prevent overheating) due to low sun angle in both summer and winter.

Is there a link for the source company? Alpen window uses "thin glass" technology

[@Andsoitgoes57]

Hi! I don’t see the link to the window company out east. Can you add?

[@agisler87]

I'm wondering if the company is European Architecture Supply. I know they also will source european windows.

[@agisler87]

25:15 I was correct 😁

I'm trying to get ahead of my budget and can't find any windows except Anderson and Pella .Where do I find more options?

[@Morank]

We purchased ours through Doorwin. Triple pane tilt/turn all black aluminum, one 16 foot slider, one 8 foot slider and 4 garage doors…plus shipping $26K.

My only criticism about Alpen is their reviews show poor customer service and quality control.

[@JW-gc5ve]

I've come to believe that there are only negative reviews. Owners who have high end homes built for them won't take the time to submit positive reviews. I recommend searching youtube on "Alpen Window"

You don’t know what a lift and slide door? They aren’t new at all. I have second hand embarrassment.
