I am researching replacing my homes windows. They are currently vinyl windows. I'm in North Carolina. My home faces west and gets a lot of sun. Are there Tinted windows? would that be a good idea?
I need to go ahead and replace my kitchen window, so i can re-trim it and proceed with countertop replacement and back splashes.
What are good brands? Reading online, I see some mention that air egress is as important as the solar coefficent and u numbers.
I have also read about brands such as Ideal and Survivor, but i don't know how they compare to Pella/Anderson. How do i find out/compare things such as air ingress/egress?
Thanks.
P.S. My current windows are 20 years old and not that great a quality, so just about anything will be better. Several of them have fogged up.
