High-efficiency windows (U=0.1 or R=10)

T_Barker | Posted in Energy Efficiency and Durability on

Can anyone suggest window manufacturers that produce very high efficiency windows for residential buildings? I’m looking for U=0.1 (R=10) or better across whole window.

My preference would be North American made, but anywhere in the world is fine.

    T. Barker,
    You might want to look at Alpen windows. Alpen describes its Zenith Series ZR-10 windows as "The only commercially available, NFRC-certified full frame 0.10 U-factor window in North America."

    For more information on the Alpen Zenith series ZR-10 window, see ZR-10 window.

    For a wide variety of opinions on windows, see "What Windows Should I Buy?"
