We needed to replace the old 70s era casement windows in our home. In doing so we wanted to maximize energy efficiency with triple pane, low U-factor, windows and by using windows with a high solar heat gain on our southern exposure which stays shaded in the summer but gets sun in the winter.
Many of the big U.S. companies have a one-size fits all approach to window coatings and shoot for the lowest solar heat gain possible. Accurate Dorwin is different, it custom makes each window and can taylor your windows with a variety of glass packages. Not only that, they do this at a very reasonable price and the window quality is superior.
Since they do not have a dealer in my state, we had the windows shipped here and got the local Loewen dealer to install them (we used Loewen windows in two rooms because we wanted the douglas fir). It can be hard to find a contractor to install windows that you order on your own, but it is worth the effort.
Accurate Dorwin makes fiberglass framed windows and the quality beats anything I have seen on the market--including Marvin (which is a good company). The hardwear operation is as smooth as butter when opening and closing the windows.
The price (even with shipping) also beat any comparable window I considered and the customer service was the best I have ever encountered.
This is a great company that produces amazing windows.
