I have Thermal-Gard vinyl replacement windows in my home. They were

installed a couple of years before I purchased in 1996, so I can't provide
an original cost. They have held-up fairly well. After 20+ years, several
of the triple glazed panes have lost seal integrity and are experiencing
condensation and mineral deposits between the panes, though this is not
unusual for windows of this age. The frames and sashes are in good shape
with no discernible sagging. There is some damage to the locks and stops.
I have been looking to replace the windows due to the amount of fogging due
to seal leakage. I hope to be able to replace the sashes + glass with parts
from Thermal-Gard to avoid having to remove the frames, but it seems that
there are few distributors still in business and the manufacturers website
and facebook pages are not providing much info. The copyright year on the
webpage is 2015, so I presume that if they have gone out of business, it has
been very recently. Vince

Was there a reason for this post?


Sure. Vinny was just 'sharing' with us.


I thought he was asking Oren about Gards....
