The Vytex Potomac-hp window is the high end or premium vinyl window that is quite impressive in its performance numbers and should provide some nice overall value for the consumer. Standard features include a constant force balance system, integral interlocks, foam insulation, triple weatherstripping, a full 1" sealed IG unit, and integrated sash lock, composite sack reinforcement and a magnetic seal for draft elimination.
Just as with the Vytex Fortis model, the Potomac HP comes in 26 exterior colors, as well as two interior colors and an optional woodgrain laminate interior as well. The Potomac HP vinyl window is one of our selections for a premium vinyl window without a premium price. It should offer the consumers excellent value, similar to their Fortis model. The Potomac does offer several nice standard upgrades that will provide the hp with a little better overall construction and durability than the Fortis.

Vytex Potomac-hp windows costs will run approximately $5 more per square foot then the mid range Vytex Fortis model. Consumers can expect to pay $50 to $60 per square foot for the window itself. Comparably priced windows will include Eco Smart windows prices and Polaris UltraWeld costs.

Consumers can expect the Potomac HP series double hung in the Energy Saver Plus package, which is a dual glazed low E glass with argon fills, to deliver a .26 U-value, a .20 SHGC, .05 air infiltration and .47 VT. The window will be Energy Star Compliant in all four regions.
Consumers can expect an upgrade to the Energy Saver Max package, which is a triple glazed glass with argon or krypton fills, to deliver a U factor of .19, and SHGC of .17 and a VT of .34. This energy package will also be Energy Star Compliant in all four regions. The Potomac-hp model comes standard with a design pressure 55 rating, quite impressive. All in all, the Potomac-hp delivers good numbers and ratings for a premium vinyl window.
The Vytex Potomac-hp window comes with the same limited lifetime warranty as the Vytex Georgetown and Fortis model. The warranty covers the mainframe, hardware and all standard components. The Potomac-hp warranty does include a glass glass breakage provision, which is a nice feature to have.
This warranty does not however cover any labor costs involved with removing the defective window, or replacing the window. This is pretty typical for most vinyl window warranties. The Vytex windows warranty is, all in all, pretty standard for the industry.

We're replacing 5 windows and getting estimates from various installers. So far, its coming down to the Potomac and the Okna 500. The others, we are not considering. All are reputable installers. We intend to stay in our house a while and looking for live-in and resale value. Wondered what you thought of the price/value of these two.
Vytex Potomac - $3,475.00
Okna 500 - $3,804.00.

Richard, both great windows, two of the very best. Prices are decent, definitely in the ballpark of what I would expect. The Vytex Potmac-hp is the better deal here. If I were staying in the house long term, my decision here would come down to the company doing the install. They are going to make the bigger difference than choosing between two great windows.

Thank you so much for responding Jon. We certainly appreciate it. Both Installers have great reviews on Google and Angies List. One (Okna) is larger than the other and seems older in terms of experience. The smaller company (Potomac) is closer to our house and also has great reviews. The smaller company also included damaged wood and sill replacement in the cost. The Okna looked really beautiful with the decorative crown molding on the exterior part. That's why I leaned towards it until getting the Potomac Estimate.
