Soft Lite vs Zen

Hello, I am in the market to replace 28 windows. Also, I live in Columbus, Ohio. So, I currently have 1972 vintage Rimco insulated wood windows with 4 newer Anderson 400 windows mixed in. A lot of the Rimco glass panes have been replaced about 7 years ago but the windows feel drafty when cold and I am looking for better noise reduction properties. Also, I have gotten a quote from Zen Windows for the Lotus triple pane windows and was quoted $575 per window.

I know that the Lotus is the Soft Lite pro, which is a decent window, but I am curious on what I am losing out on by a not going with a company that has the LS series. Also, I have 2 large windows in the garage and 5 that face out into a sunroom with more modern windows. further, do I need triple pane units there or can I save some money with double pane? Will there be a noticeable difference in appearance if seen side by side? I also have been talking with Rosatti Windows, but right now I am leaning towards Zen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kevin, the Soft-Lite Pro is indeed a good vinyl window -- with a low-e glass you can expect a .07 air infiltration, .28 U-factor, .29 SHGC, and .53 VT rating. The Imperial LS is a step up for sure and with a low-e glass, you can expect a .02 air infiltration, 0.28 U-factor, 0.23 SHGC, and a 0.44 VT.

The AI figure is the one that is most significant and is an overall barometer of the quality of a window. The Pro is good (basically its an older model, but many consumers really like it), the Imperial LS is great. I would think though that a triple pane Soft-Lite Pro would have numbers in this range. $575 per window is a great price for that by the way.

It certainly can't hurt to get the bid on the Imperial LS if there is a dealer in your area. Otherwise, I would say go with the Lotus Triple Pane. Regarding triple and double pane, it really depends on where you live. Colder climates can require a triple pane for the increased energy efficiency. I would just be wary about large span windows with the triple pane. You just want to make sure that the frame can handle the extra weight. finally, my notion is you aren't going to have a problem with a Soft-Lite window, but still ask if this is the case on any.

Thanks, Dane. I appreciate the response and all of the info on window replacement Columbus Ohio. Also, I was wondering how they would insulate and gaps around the window frame with spray foam. If they are not taking to whole unit out, like in a full window installation.

You should be able to get a bid from Okna, Soft-Lite and Sunrise windows in Columbus. It all depends on how they cut the existing window out. However, they might just use some low expanding foam if there is enough room. Often, the replacement window fits in with virtually no room for insulation. Instead, just ask each company that comes out how they would handle this. After a few bids, you'll get a consensus for how they will handle it on your project.
