    Hi Sean, do you ever get asked about tilt/turn windows?

      @ Greg, most people in the States have never seen a tilt/turn window.
      When it comes to Glass and windows Europe’s ahead of us.
      I would say the only downside is they tend to be more bulky thus less daylight. But in terms of hardware quality and performance tilt/turn are way better.

      @@nathanielb659 I installed North American built triple pane tilt/turns in my home when it was built 16 years ago, and they are a match for anything built in Europe, and while I would do it again, as you pointed out they aren't for everyone.
      Although often stated and believed by people who advocate (or sell) European windows, Euro glass technology is not at any level ahead of US tech, and the primary differences between North American windows and Euro windows has more to do with government and consumer expectations and requirements than any tech advantage.
      European and North American testing parameters for U factor for example, are significantly different (the most obvious including using metric versus imperial for measurements), so the results cannot be directly compared. However, it is possible to convert European metric results to imperial by using a very simple formula to do so, but the results from using that formula are not appropriate to compare to North American tested windows because they are meaningless.
      Basically, when window U factor performance is translated to North American (NFRC) parameters the European tested window results appear better than they really are as measured to NFRC standards. The only way to get an accurate comparison between Euro and North American window performance is for them to be tested and compared using the same (NFRC or European) criteria, and when that happens the perception of huge Euro tech and performance "advantage" tends to disappear.
      I think that the Europeans make some very nice windows, and I really like them personally, but the common misconception that Europeans have inherent technological advantage simply isn't true.

      Hey Greg, I do not get asked often about the tilt and turn, but I am going to start offering that as well...its a window from Denmark that they offer in composite, wood or even vinyl! So I will see how much we sell, but I feel it will be a hit in a way.

    Is it normal for my prairie parimeter internal grids in my double pane picture windows that are near an entrance door to have alot of play when shutting the door? They don't rattle against the glass but the definitely wiggle like spaghetti.

    Hey Sean, Sounds like a good plan, I hope that it works well for you!! Tilt/turn windows are bulky as Nathaniel pointed out and how they open doesn't work for everyone, but I have been a fan for a couple decades.
    Closer to home, two of the best tilt/turn window manufacturers in North America (as good as anything out of Europe) are up north in Vancouver. They are Innotech (vinyl) and Cascadia (foam filled fiberglass). Innotech uses Cardinal IG units, while Cascadia uses Cardinal glass but makes their own IG's.
