Windows 101 - A High Performance Take

I'm stoked that BSN is now putting these 15+ minute vids on YT. The shorts just were really teasers. Great work guys.

Thanks Steve for the details. It was great timing as I just send a set of plans to EAS for quoting. And the plans were missing all this pertinent information. (Because it's my first time trying to order Tilt/Turn windows, I wasn't sure what notes to add.)

if those windows are 6.5' tall that would make Steve like 7' tall!

This video gets me so pumped it's ridiculous

Wow, amazingly beautiful window! Cheers, Eric

0:13 oh, that's so cute :D i've had to handle 18' by 8' windows, triple glaze and that's not even close to maximum size ;) 12:00 the european convention just literally connects the hinges and handle with the lines which is way easier to remember imho because just think about how a window looks ;)

Never had great windows like these but as a home owner of a nearly ~40 year old house I find the weep holes always get clogged full of all kinds of stuff I don't want to touch. Real world is very messy and most homeowners neglect routing cleaning and maintenance. I love this series because it focuses on perfection that will last at least 100 years, but sometimes, I want engineers to just admit there are parts that won't be perfect that long, but will make it easy for the homeowner to clean and/or repair and get back to tip top shape.

Would love to hear your honese opinion - negative, positive or undecided about the litezone windows. Not sure if they've been around long enough to judge them.

What is the warranty on this exactly???

[@noreaction1]

What hurricane rating are these? Can they be made to category 5 resistance?

Where does someone buy these windows in the US?

[@manu-vv8pc]

I wonder if there is a US manufacturer for this type of windows ?

[@superdinmt]

Why do U.S. windows suck sooo bad……It’s not that frickin hard to care about your window product and put out quality….Sick of The U.S. window manufacturers….

Marvin will build a triple glaze window, aluminum clad, tilt-turn for a LOT of money Make no mistake, these triple glazed, thermally broken, all aluminum Schuco windows are very expensive.

[@johnys1811]

@@josecito976 Here in Europe customer prices for triple glazed windows with aluminium frame with thermal break vary from 600 to 1000 euro/m2. Huge 4 m wide and 2.5 m high HS portal is about 10k. Average modern house windows incl. installation, vapor barrierre cost 30-50 k, total. As a customer you get premium quallity with basically lifetime warranty, zero maintanence, huge energy savings compared to traditional american double glazed wooden windows. Openings are the weakest point of thermal envelope, it doesn't make sense make them even weaker.

@@johnys1811 yes, a premium product commands a premium price. Energy efficient windows are available in the US and have been for years. The rate limiting step that prevents more widespread use is, not surprisingly, cost
