I'd agree. The initial statement was perhaps a tad strong and generalized, but the top performing vinyl doors on the market will typically have better u factor, air leakage, etc. Sunrise restorations, Okna Elegante, Softlite Kingsroyal, Provia, etc. are all very nice doors. There are great wood doors too, and they have a "richness" in look and feel that is hard (or impossible) to match in a vinyl door---its just a trade off for performance in most cases. @pmbalint, you made a great choice in that Restorations door, it will serve you well.

+1, the Sunrise is better IMO... And as far as pricing, I'd buy asap regardless as prices are going up all over the place and at more frequent intervals. By the time we hit July we will have seen three price increases on windows, siding, and roofing materials. Crazy times.

Ashley Berryman This is what you just said a few days ago and now you are telling the OP to replace her windows with Provia vinyl and its the only way to go. This is extremely strange, not to mention very hippocritical. You said the exact opposite a few days back. Look at your very bizarre post you made a few days back. Did you happen find a job at a vinyl window manufacturer and you want be the new company cheerleader? See below. ”if you have wood, never EVER replace-pay to restore and maintain. Wood windows need maintenence, yes, but that is because they CAN be maintained. Current manufactured windows cannot BE maintained and have to be routinely replaced and dumped at landfill. Restored and maintained wood actually does not NEED to be replaced, is EXTREMELY valuable, and last hundreds upon hundreds of years because they CAN be repaired and restored. Wood window restoration (that has been maintained) occurs at 50 year intervals, so by the time your wood needs restoring again, you will have had to replace a replacement window at least ONCE. DON'T DO IT!!!”

I live in NJ. double pane of Provia Endure quote is 32K and Vytex Potomac double pane is 26K and triple is 29K. both installation is from reputable installer. Here is the Provia Ensure NRFC values 32K U-Factor: 0.24 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: 0.18 Visible Transmittance: 0.38 Vytex ( Triple) is following 29K U-Factor: 0.19 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: 0.25 Visible Transmittance: 0.40 Vytex ( Double ) is following 26K U-Factor: 0.27 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: 0.20 Visible Transmittance: 0.48 I am leaning towards Vytex because I am saving few thousands of dollars. is triple pane better than double?
