Replacement Windows

LowGear
9 years ago

I live in an Aframe home built in 1963; no roof insulation. Home is located in Champion, Pennsylvania (SW PA) at about 2600' elevation. Home has electric furnace and the main living area has a fireplace insert.
I am looking to replace all of the glass in the front of the home. Four non opening windows (4'X 8') and one 80" X 36" non opening window.
My contractor recommended Viwinco vinyl replacement windows. Viwinco does not seem to be highly regarded on this site. After revealing this site's Viwinco negative comments to the contractor, he also recommended Kensington Quantum.
Is Viwinco truly an inferior window? The Viwinco brochure performance ratings do not reflect it is inferior.
What manufacturer gives one the biggest bang for your buck? Is Kensington Quantum an alternative?
Thank you for reveiwing post.
