Hi everyone.

I'm getting ready to replace a picture window; it is inoperable. I'm having issues finding a fixed window on the web.

It is 64" x 47" and imagine/expect it will be a custom window. I'm not sure if I'm not using the right terms in my search but I'm even having issues finding them on window manufacturers' websites.

I'd really like it to be a vacuum insulated glass window but they're not really here yet (ply gem will sell start selling ~ U.10 windows later this year).

I'd like it to be at least U.20 if not better. Tripple or quad pane would be fine. Cost is important but not top priority. Efficiency is higher.

Also, although it is a south facing window I'm not worried about low e coatings as it is under a porch. When the sun is low enough to shine in the window for about a month I don't want to reflect the radiant energy.

Can anyone recommend a manufacturer, a particular unit, or better search terms??

Thank you!!!!
