The 1" target might melt..

Some folks around here, put new Low-E replacement windows on their homes,
and I think some of the glass might be bowed inwards,
giving some of the panes a parabolic shape..
I can see that parabolic effect in some of my Harvey windows..

Low-E windows from next door neighbors was melting off Vinyl Siding!!
(And the insulation underneath the siding)!
