The Milgard Essence double hung (9100 Series) with the SunCoat or LowE2 glass, EdgeGardMAX and Dual Glaze will deliver a 0.33 U-factor, 0.26 SHGC and a 0.48 VT. The Essence Casement (9340 Series ) with the SunCoatMAX LowE3 glass, Argon fills, EdgeGardMAX and Dual Glazing will deliver a 0.28 U-factor, 0.20 SHGC and a 0.48 VT. These are quite respectable numbers for a wood cladd window (although the would be considered very average for a vinyl or fiberglass window.)
