Dane – thanks so much for the time, effort and knowledge you bring to this site. I live in a suburb of Atlanta and I’m considering replacing about 30 wood frame double hung windows because of their age (about 30 yrs) and resultant deteriorating condition.
Sandy, there is a fair bit of differing opinions in the industry over composite windows, also known as cellular PVC. Here is a recap article - vinyl vs composite windows.
A local installer in Atlanta recommended this brand for a 47” x 73” picture window. It is a composite window, made in nearby Canton, GA. 25 yr warranty on window, 10 yrs on glass. Don’t know how long this has been around. Have you heard of this product? What is your opinion? How do you compare it to Andersen 100 Series? Are there products you prefer, re energy efficiency, looks, longevity, and overall quality?
Susan, the ENVIROGUARD Precision Mill composite window has come up from time to time, but I know very little. Up to this point, I don't have any reason to recommend it. A 25 year warranty on the window does not compare favorably to a lifetime warranty on a vinyl window. The price quoted in the past for these windows was too high for the energy efficiency numbers.
I live here in Atlanta and recently had a salesman from Apex Energy give me a bid for replacing our 21 single pane windows. The bid was $17,000 and change for the whole thing. I've also had a bid from Precision Millworks on their Enviroguard BT model. That bid was considerably more expensive at $25,000 and change. I was hoping to get your opinion.
Mack, I've always been wary of salesmen coming to my house and giving me an unsolicited bid on a product I may or may not be considering replacing. Having said that, their bid isn't horrible, but not super inexpensive either. I think you can do better.

Enviroguard Windows vs. Sunrise Windows
We have a large window install / home improvement business here that sells what they call “Cellular PVC” windows, which they compare favorably not only to wood windows, but also vinyl windows. I see other ads for “composite” windows, but I’m not sure whether that’s the same as “cellular PVC” windows or it’s some kind of mix of wood and vinyl – maybe some kind of cladding?? They say the primary advantages over regular vinyl windows are that the cellular PVC window components (brickmould, sill, jamb, and sash rails) look exactly the same as wood windows and that cellular PVC units are stronger than extruded vinyl windows which are thinner, thus making warping more likely.
They sell Enviroguard windows and at one time they also sold Sunrise windows (not sure whether they still do).
Also, can you please provide any information on the rough percentage price increase from a regular vinyl window to a cellular PVC window or a composite window of the identical size and glass specs?
Thanks again for all the help you’ve given all of us over the years.
Regards.

Price is all over the board. Renewal By Andersen window cost is super high, but top tier vinyl windows are much more energy efficient than these units. Okna makes a very nice composite window that is pricey, but very well made. On average, composite windows will run 20% more than a comparable vinyl window.
I try to take it on a case by case basis when trying to decide on whether a composite or vinyl window is the way to go.
I think I would rather have a Sunrise window over a Enviroguard window. Actually I would want the Sunrise Restorations which uses vinyl and fiberglass in an effective way to produce a nice looking and very strong window. I still don't know much about the Enviroguard, but the 25 year warranty indicates how long they think their windows should last (as opposed to a lifetime warranty from Sunrise). Still not worth the risk in my opinion. Vinyl vs Fiberglass Windows

The Andersen 100 composite window is a good product. Very nice looking and decent, but not great energy efficiency numbers. I will say that the Andersen 100 with proper installation should be fine for most homes...
If I was looking for a good vinyl window, I'd look for a local dealer who sells Soft-Lite, Sunrise, Okna, Polaris, Vytex, Kensington, Ideal, Zen, or even a top end Simonton or Vinylmax. These will provide better value and energy efficiency than what you currently are considering.

I've never heard of Precision Millworks or the Enviroguard BT window series. Obviously their bid is quite a bit more than Apex Energy. I checked their website and wasn't super impressed with the performance numbers listed. The BT window series (if I'm reading this right) offers a .48 u-value and a 2.1 r-value and comes with a 25 year warranty on the main parts of the windows. I couldn't find any additional numbers, but these aren't super impressive as a standalone. The fact that they want to charge you well over $1000 per window would give me some serious pause.
I think you should see if other quality vinyl brands are available in your area. Okra, Sunrise, Soft-Lote, Polaris, Zen, and even a premium series from Simonton. I think these might be less expensive and offer better warranties and energy efficiency.
