- So, Chris, what brand are your windows? I, too, have the feeling that
- thermopane windows are "always popping". I have them in my office, and one
- has popped twice in the last 8 years. Many others in my colleagues' offices
- have popped, too. I have a friend (the only person I know who has these
- windows at home) who bought a house with LOTS of thermopane windows. This
- house was about 10 years old, and they spent THOUSANDS replacing popped
- windows.....
-
- Sealed, multiple-paned, windows sounds like a good idea, and I'm interested
- to hear that there is actually an implementation that lives up to it! (In
- the mean time, we'll stick with our old-fashioned storms!)
