Is there a way to work out the uW, SHGC? 1. Dowell thermaline 6.38mmCP Clear/14mm_argon/4mmClear (West 3.6m XOOX) That, plus below 2 glazing upgrades were not included the Nathers assessment, which defaulted to standard single glazed aluminum with uW:6.7 and SHGC:0.7. 2. Stacker 6.38CP (North 3.6m XOO) 3. Stacker 6.38CP (South 3.6m XOO) Would the above 3 make any improvement to our nathers rating? Thank you in advance! Hi I don't see any comfortplus in the Thermaline range. I don't know what this was replacing, so can't comment on improvement. Converting from single glazed to low-E shows as a significant improvement in WERS, but I think it is more in the numbers than reality.

Is it out of the question to put a stud in the corner and have double glazed windows?
