I should have gone with triple panes as well as Styrofoam insulation when I had my new siding put on but like you I got talked out of it. I hate these so called experts that don`t know what they`re supposed to know.

We replaced all our window's with triple pane. I would not even thought of anything less. We have a 2 story, and replaced every window, and the front storm door $20,000. Had to be done. It doesn't increase the value, that much now. It has a 25yr warranty, transferable to new owner's, for 10yrs. We did previously have triple pane, but the house was built in '91. Not all the windows
's leaked, but 75% had. They are insulated pvc (I think) frames, and noticed a difference in the summer, with how the house stayed cool. They've been good these past week's, with the low temp's. Have a great evening guy's.

I just don't like seeing ice form around the bottoms and sides of these windows, heat is cheap enough here, I heat 2 shops and the house for under $1,000 for the 12 month period...

This cold spell would be a good test Grant.
It costs me about $720 a yr for just my house John.

How big are your shops? My older shop is 24 x 40, well insulated but the big bi-fold doors are drafty and my other shop is 28 x 40, same story on the big doors.
