Replacing Bay, Bow window?
Chris D asked:
I want the best possible window that has the best insulation. Would you say vinyl or wood? I want the inside white. The outside is going to be white, I have white aluminum siding. This is going to be a large living room window. Any ideas of what the specs. of the window should be? Like double or triple pane? Again the insurance is paying for a good portion of it I just want the best out there. Thanks. I live in n/w Indiana and the window is on the south wall.

Hey if money is no object go with the triple glazed and an argon gas. It’ll get you the most R value in a window and will also help heat transfer in the summer so the AC doesn’t have to work so hard. My personal experience is go with Vinyl. It doesn’t transfer hot or cold as much as ALUMINIUM and doesn’t need maintenance like wood does. I’ve had to replace a lot of good windows only because the home owner never painted the wood frames on the outside thinking they didn’t need it
