With the standard low-e glass and argon fills on the Catalina single hung, consumers can expect .31 U-factor, .22 SHGC, .52 visible transmittance and 56 condensation resistance.
The upgraded window glass with the argon fills in the double hung will have a .26 U-factor, .24 SHGC, .41 visible transmittance and 48 condensation resistance.

Catalina vs Soft Lite Classic Plus
We've identified several installation companies either through the dealers you suggested or recommendations from others. Currently, we have a good quote from Zen for their Soft Lite Classic Plus, priced at around $25k for 29 "openings". However, we want to explore other options and potentially consider higher quality vinyl options since this is our forever home. Do you think the Soft Lite Classic Plus is sufficient for a forever home, or should we aim for something better? Zen doesn't seem to carry the higher Soft Lite series -- they offered us 29 windows fro $25K.
Out of the following options, which ones should we prioritize for getting quotes?
NT Presidential, Soft Lite Classic Plus, Catalina or Panoramic, Marvin Infinity, Thermal Windows, and Milgard Tuscany.
Thanks.

Denise, that's a good price on the Soft-Lite Classic series. I would rank these equal to the Catalina/Panoramic (equal in quality as far as I'm concerned), then the NT Presidential and then the Milgard Tuscany.

Anlin Catalina Cost Bid
Hello, I found your website and I am so grateful for it. I got a quote for $4900 for Simonton 7300 Daylight Max or the Madeira for 7 windows. I also got a quote, from the same person, for Anlin Catalina for $4408. Seems a bit high for both, but what do you think and recommend? Replacement Windows Cost
Thank you so much for your time!

Cheryl, I personally would go with the Anlin Catalina over the Simonton 7300 so the fact that it is less money means it's the clear winner in my book. $630 installed actually sounds very fair given today's prices. That's the best price I'ver heard about in months to be honest. Just make sure that the company doing the install gets good reviews.

Anlin Catalina vs Del Mar
Hello, can you please tell me how this quote looks? He quoted us with the Anlin Del Mar with quadritherm added to each window. We have 5 windows and a sliding glass door. The price still seems hefty to me at $12,334. I have no idea if he is trying to over sell me on these. I'm in a condo and we will probably move within the next 2-3 years. Our current ones are from 1981 and the insulation in the house is terrible. We also need the exterior frame to match our condo paint, which is brown. I don't need anything fancy, I just need more insulation. Should I ask for a lower priced model or manufacturer? The sales rep said he's worked with lower quality series, and he says that people who buy them always have problems. He didn't specify which manufacturers he considered to be low quality.
I also received another quote from Home Depot for $13k for the Simonton 6500 series. I don't think I want to go with them because they don't have a lifetime warranty.
I received another quote from a different company for $8k for the Anlin Catalina series, but he quoted me with white vinyl instead of black or bronze.
I live in Denver, CO.
Thank you!

Denice, the $12334 price tag for 5 windows and a slider seems very hefty to me. If you are leaving in 3 years, you don't want to be putting in anything over $8K, which is what the Anlin Catalina came in at. Even that seems kinda high...
I'd get two more from the list and see if you can't find something lower than the $8K. From the list below [list pulled, contact us direct for our lists] I would first look at Amerimax Windows and Zen.
