I am in the design phase of a new home in southwest missouri and my architect is needing to know what brand of windows we would like.

i was thinking Pella (because my parents have lasted over 30 years - and they are wood) but came across another brand: Simonton. Best i can tell they are made by the same parent company Noradex/Renoylds.

i work in a local planning and buidling office but none of the contractors i have spoken with have heard of Simonton.

Any thoughts or comments about Simonton v. Pella?

i am wanting a LowE, Argon filled double pane vinyl window.
