What makes a Window Wise Window ?

Rapid advances in window technology have created a market made up of hundreds of window manufacturers resulting in vast differences in window quality.  How do you know you're getting the best windows available?  All approved Window Wise windows have been tested  and exceed building code standards for air infiltration, water leakage and strength,  and will provide you with energy saving benefits for years to come.
