Has anyone heard of excalibur windows? They have thermopayne glass with low E argon. Please help…I know nothing about windows! Are these windows worth the money or should we go with another brand?
these windows are suppose to be top of the line and they have won an award for the best window three years and running. They have a lifetime warrenty too!

Absolute garbage. Loe E Argon? Spare me.Stick with a known brand of quality windows: Pella, Anderson, Marvin
spend the extra few bucks and get a well known brand name window.. just remember you get what you pay for!
From efficientwindows.org:
Low-emittance (Low-E) coating are microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on a window or skylight glazing surface primarily to reduce the U-factor by suppressing radiative heat flow. The principal mechanism of heat transfer in multilayer glazing is thermal radiation from a warm pane of glass to a cooler pane. Coating a glass surface with a low-emittance material and facing that coating into the gap between the glass layers blocks a significant amount of this radiant heat transfer, thus lowering the total heat flow through the window. Low-E coatings are transparent to visible light. Different types of Low-E coatings have been designed to allow for high solar gain, moderate solar gain, or low solar gain.
Basically, there’s a coating that prevents energy from passing through which saves you money on your heating and cooling bills. I had these in a new house I built and the cost of heating and cooling it (a 3000 square foot house) was the same as what I was paying with an older 860 square foot home with older windows.
Definitely worth the investment.
better off with depot windows……you’ll have a better warranty too……and i don’t necessarily like the depot store ,,,but excaliber??? be safe not sorry
Looks like you`ve already done the homework, you have to make the final decision.
