You only seem to hear about the big boys (Jen-Weld, Anderson, Pella). A pretty efficient concept though. I would be curious as to feedback from anyone who owns them in the US. Windows are a very expensive part of a house and my experience the construction and the warranty in addition to be energy star rated are really important. Before buying any window, I strongly suggest you look at the warranty on new windows. Get the longest one and see what it covers. I have a sidelight which has failed and now I have to spend money to replace it and it is only 3 years old. Anna www.green-talk.com I have never heard of them either.
