Greg F Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 windows are amazingly complex. 3/16" class, annealed layer with a laminated argon fill glass is where it is at. a few are out that have a 3 level layer laminate. the windows they'd use in florida would last through hurricanes no problem. their french doors were just as strong; in fact there has been numerous times where its been attested to and filmed where people try to bust the doors in and are unsuccessful to break the glass or door. Maybe they should get into making the glass for cell phones. anderson's issue is that they began losing a lot of quality at the name of expenses and availability. their quality went to **** in the mid 2000's. I put in my first Anderson more than 12 years ago ... zero issues ... no leaks in spite of the fact that I didn't quite get it square. The only time it is a problem is when I put the screen in. I put 9 more in the porch a couple of years ago. I don't think by function or appearance that you could tell that the oldest window is 10 years older than the newer ones.
