UnBuild It | Episode 146: A Deep Dive--Windows

The boys try to make things "clear" and not have your eyes "glaze" over when in comes to window and glass selection... The deep dive includes dual vs triple pane IGUs, the numbering conventions for IGUs--including the relatively new i89 coating and its implications for thermal performance and potential condensation--and the difference between center-of-glass and NFRC performance numbers. And this gem of a takeaway--Jake quoting Steve: "The windows, the envelope, and the HVAC are one line item."

Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, Truss Payments.
