Ok, back to my discussion with the andersen rep and my builder rep. as costs of the project skyrocketed, i chose to not go with the impact windows and was assured that these windows would be good enough. I had originally told them i wanted impact resistant glass for the first floor just for the security point of it. I am very angry becAuse i was very clear in my window goals when i spoke to the builders salesman and the andersen rep. my builder is a custom high end builder who is willing to spend lots of attention to the desires of their customer (up to a point) I have asked my builder to get the andersen rep on to my site and lets have a meeting ASAP. The windows are roughed in and have not been sealed. So basically, the old windows that were thrown away were better in glass quality (thickness) then what was put in. The bigger sizes are still 3.1mm, but everything else is 2.2mm glass and it feels FLIMSY. We selected andersen windows because they had casements designed for english tudor (brown metal trim, stainable insides, removable 'diamond' grille inserts ) I have a major renovation going on and i am converting a late 70s split level into an english tudor home.
