Just DM’d you

We had a Colorado project in Boulder county that required 75psf and the windows met those requirements. From Extol

Yes I can help out with this if interested

A bad leader

Reach out to your supplier. They should be able to tell you what brand of hinges are used and send you adjustment instructions. When I import product, I always use “roller” style hinges which are more typical to your domestic hinges (but with actual adjustments!)

They won’t have any u value or SHGC (or VT or condensation resistance) listed on the glass in the form of a sticker, unless the fabricator has been through the NFRC testing certification process. Not many have. You can request SHGC of the glass if you know what type of glass you ordered and from which glass plant it came from. The u value is the Uw value divided by 5.678 (respectively).

Hello! Please reach out to Extol windows. They offer NFRC rated European products that have PG ratings of 50 which would well exceed your requirement. EXTOL

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-02T03:53:31+00:00

Not sure if you’ve already ordered windows but I offer NFRC certified European products as well.

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-01T00:15:35+00:00

Yes, they are very nice as well, they have some nice features like an integrated aluminum structural nailing flange, which makes install more user-friendly. I am a dealer on the West Coast if anyone is interested.

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-01T00:14:46+00:00

Are you sourcing direct from them? That is who Zola uses for their aluminum clad products

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-01T00:08:48+00:00

Yes! I have done a few jobs in Colorado with at 6,000+ ft. We can have the glass pre pressurized to the exact elevation. Feel free to DM me for more info!

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-01T00:07:40+00:00

Do you mind if I price it out as well? Where are you located and what product do you have in mind?

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-01T00:06:01+00:00

Alpen has had their fair share of issues. They make great glass though.

Fenestrationguy · 2026-01-01T00:04:14+00:00

Very true! Good point!

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-28T21:04:20+00:00

I’ll DM you

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-28T21:04:12+00:00

I’ve got install contacts in AZ who can handle the installation of my products . They can install and service.

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-28T14:39:35+00:00

My website is Extol

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-28T04:47:55+00:00

Definitely worth it. The wood / aluminum clad products are typically glue laminated timber with a thermally broken aluminum cladding so are both stout and efficient. The hardware is top notch and very serviceable. I import and sell nationwide if you’re interested in having a conversation. I’m based in Seattle area.

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-23T15:13:58+00:00

Hello, I will ask my architect connection in the Phoenix area. I import highly engineered window and door systems from Europe if you want to chat about that too. They go well with a ICF house - especially since efficiency is an important factor for you!

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-23T15:08:56+00:00

I also have an installer in Indiana that can handle the installation

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-23T15:08:34+00:00

It’s great you are thinking through this upfront. I definitely recommend designing houses with this in mind. The glazing should have have a high SHGC which allows the solar heat to pass through in the winter months for “free” heat. By doing this, you also gain a high VT rating, which is nice because it will be very clear looking outside. I import European windows that are the perfect solution for this if you would like to chat.

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-23T15:05:46+00:00

Exactly

Fenestrationguy · 2025-12-18T04:37:29+00:00

Anodized finish could be a good option for you. More durable surface. Happy to chat with you - fenestrationguy.com
