We are buying replacement windows for 10 windows soon. I am extremely thorough in researching info. and trying to compare apples to apples etc. However, someone just told us to try Lowes Thermastar. By adding low e and argon gas... I think may be good product for the price... but skeptical as I know it is Pella's lowest line of replacement windows and can't seem to find reviews on them. I have had several estimates and I think they would save us close to 1000$ on 10 windows compared to others. Anyone gone with Thermastar, and if so happy so far? Such a headache...I know there are better choices out there, but would be happy if they lasted the 10 years, for the cost savings now as we need to do something now assuming they perform as intended. Any thoughts ideas etc. would be greatly appreciated. Over the wknd realized need new dryer and p.c...so in 3's it happens. Need to do all before baby 2 arrives. thank you in advance for time!

Low-e is good, any gas is lighter than air, so, don't expect the windows to last fifty years. But 90% of new houses use that grade window. I use them in my house.

UNLESS THEY COST ABOUT/LESS THAN +/- $ 75.00 / WINDOW ( BELOW THE MASON DIXON LINE ), MY OPINION, YOU'RE WASTING MONEY!BUILDER GRADE INSULATED, LOW E WILL COST ABOUT THAT FOR A 3 X 5 WINDOW.
