Never heard of this particular brand. Are they a vinyl framed window? How are they constructed? (Welded corners, or are the corners put together with screws? What sort of warranty do the offer? What are the festation ratings? Provide some details and one of us will help you determine if they are worth putting in your home and living with for the next 20 or 30 years.

they are double pained 7/8" with low e glazed vinyl windows with welded corners (double hung, and tilt out). There is a lifetime warranty that is transferable to the next future owner. for standard size windows they are charging $300 including instillation and capping (they are on sale). I believe the rating was 4.59 Any guidance you can give would be great, i dont want to go with a name brand window just because it is a name brand, if i can get the same quality for less i would like to try. thanks for your help

On the surface, that sounds like a good window for the price. Find out exactly what this "lifetime warranty" covers. Is it just the frame? What sort of warranty do they have on the seal of the glass? If you look between the panes of glass, do you see a dull gray, rubber like material, or can you see shiny aluminum? (The dull gray is better.) If they have at least a 10 year warranty on the seal of the glass, I would say you will probably be happy with the windows, and they would be worth investing in.
