   我忘了提到这些是三窗帘的窗户。

   缺口，
   I've never used Wasco Windows, but you can read about them here on GBA.

   以下是我写的文章的链接讨论了WASCO Windows：新的绿色建筑产品 - 2012年2月。

   以下是一个与WASCO Windows的房子的案例研究的链接：马萨诸塞州的净零家。

   The GBA Product Guide lists Wasco windows on two pages:

   Geneo High-Performance Windows

   WASCO乙烯基替代窗

   缺口，I installed several of the 1400 series windows from Wasco last year. A few comments:

   1. 1400系列窗户是适用于新建建设的更换窗口，因此挖掘脚蹼（不可分割）。我没有特别关心这个，因为闪烁后，我仍然可以看到小珠光。我对准备粗糙的开口很挑剔，我用填缝和泡沫密封那些角落。我相信一切都是100％的空气和潮流，但有额外的工作。

   2. 1400系列窗口不是被动房屋级别。为此，您需要他们的Geneo线，具有更厚，更强大的挤出。WASCO销售代表在这一行中没有任何内容。您需要直接与公司（Dave Paulus JR）的公司进行处理。

   他们对窗户的需求超出了它们的能力，特别是对于倾斜和转弯。提前8-12周的订单。

   倾斜和转弯很棒，觉得你正在关闭银行金库。

   5. The 1400 windows are rare in that you can order them with Cardinal 180 glass.

   6.我对可见光传输非常满意，但与SHGC有些不受影响。即使有一个强壮的南方阳光，你也不会在窗前的同时感觉到你的身体上。像热辐射充其量一样。如果您希望有一些被动的太阳能，可以更好地切换到南部暴露的双窗帘窗口可能会更好。

   Thank you Rick. Very helpful. It is unfortunate about the 1400 nailing fin info -- I will have to investigate more to see how the best way to air seal these would be.

   SHGC的“中心玻璃”评级为0.557，所以我并不肯定为什么SHGC为窗扉为0.35 - 我最好的猜测是该数字包括框架（这显然没有太阳能增益）可能是错误的 - 也许别人知道这些数字是如何计算的？窗口本身看起来是建造的（从外部到内部）：LOE在表面＃2（外部窗格的内部），清晰的中窗格，表面＃5上的LOE（内部窗格外面）。使用超级精工和90％氩气，1/8“厚玻璃在1 3/8”整体上。

   I have also looked at their Geneo line which looks to be about (whole-window values):
   U值：0.15
   SHGC: 0.39
   VT：0.48

   So those specs are a little better but not dramatically so. Prices seem to be around 50% more than the 1400s. I have not seen these in person yet but would like to do so to compare how they are built.

   缺口，

   You are exactly right, SHGC measurement includes the entire window including frame, sash, and any grills that you might have, not just the glass.

   Yes, I didn't think the up charge was worth it either. My local Wasco store didn't have the Geneo frames so I couldn't make a direct comparison. Their factory is near Milwaukee, so depending on your location it might be worth the drive.

   I was also looking at the Intus windows. I think they are a step higher on the quality scale, but I haven't seen one in person to compare. They were about 10% more than Wasco. Ultimately I just felt more comfortable with the outie nail flange window than insetting the Intus windows and screwing them into the rough opening.

   此外，Wasco Windows的提前时间可能在春季可能比秋天更少，因为它们也销售了很多替换窗口。

   Also, play around with different window sizes to find a price sweet spot. In my case I changed my rough opening size from 69.5" tall to 64.5" and the price per window dropped by around $300. I think it had to do with additional tempered glass...I'm a little fuzzy on the exact details.

   Rick,

   欧洲让windows像Intus应该安装ed using European installation techniques. The Euro install technique is bullet-proof if you follow their protocol. Nailing flanges are more of a "American" install for US windows that have nailing flanges. There is absolutely NOTHING to worry or concern about inset mounted windows and screwing them into the rough opening. This has been done thousands of times and for decades in Europe and it works. To be honest, Euro install methods have advantages that flat faced nailing flange windows don't have but that is another post and topic altogether.

   当一次尝试使用我们使用我们的安装技术安装欧洲制作窗口时出现问题。用于钉钉法兰的安装人员将在欧洲窗口中困扰，这些窗口没有钉子法兰，并且需要插入框架进入窗口降压区域的插图。乘坐欧洲窗户和一个欧元橱窗安装的安装人员，可以在他们的睡眠中安装插图窗户，他们会想知道为什么有人将在窗户的位置安装窗户上的窗户（墙壁结构的最弱点）将受到风力洗涤和元素。

   Thank you. Rick -- did you happen to use any Wasco doors? I haven't seen them or gotten quotes yet but I would be interested in looking at them if I decide to use their windows. Thanks.

   Peter, I agree whole heartedly that a European install has many advantages. Nevertheless, asking a contractor unfamiliar with their installation usually leads to a higher price install and the opportunity for mistakes.

   尼克，我没有Wasco门的任何经验。
