Let us talk a bit about the manufacturer of these windows. United Window and Door Company is local manufacturer, located in Springfield NJ.

With these rating the window is qualified for Energy Star Rating in most states. The glass of the window has Low-E coating and Argon Gas between the two glass panes. Glass pane thickness is 1''. The Design Pressure rate for that window is 50, which means it can withstand wind blows of up to 140 mph. When you install these windows into your house, definetly you are going to see energy savings and less noise coming from the outside into the house. ![]() Interior of the window The window frame is solidly built. The frame and both sashes of the window are fusion welded for extra strength and stability. This is a Double Hung Window, so both sashes move up and down for ease of use and maintenance. When you look at this window from the inside, you can notice that it looks different. The one thing that strikes is the clean look of the bottom sash of the window. You can see, that there is no tilt in locks on each side of the sash. This window has high-tech Lock-N-Tilt System. To release the sash for cleaning, all you have to do is twist the two window locks to the opposite side and the bottom sash tilts in. The window comes with balance covers for extra beauty and cleanliness. United 8000 has vent latches as well. If you want to vent just three inches of the top or the bottom of the window, you can pull them out. The thickness of the frame and the sash combined is 3.25’’. When you have smaller windows in the house, you might loose a bit of the viewing area. ![]() Exterior of the window United 8000 window has rich exterior, that blends in to your house and makes it look like a million bucks. The frame of the window has a nice beveled exterior. Around the window glass there is a beautiful casing, which enhances the look of the window. The window comes with a half fiber screen or full optional screen. The screen is made from fully extruded aluminum and locks at the bottom. When it is windy, your window screens will stay in the windows and are not gonna be blown off and damaged. At the bottom of the window there are no weep holes, because all the frame is fusion welded and water does not get inside the window frame. Wheather Stripping When you open the window, you notice that bottom and top sashes have three weather stripping. On the bottom of the window there are two weather stripping. United 8000 series window has the vinyl lag that part of the window and locks inside the bottom sash. Energy Efficiency The window has enhanced energy Efficiency.

What's the difference between United 4800 vs. 8000 series? Someone told me 8000 series is for new construction not replacement window, is it true?

Hi Mike, United 8000 is top of the line window with stronger frame and better glass. It comes as a replacement as well. United 4800 is a good window, but if you want to get the best, then you should go with United 8000. This window has much better energy efficiency rating and you can make it with triple pane glass.

Thank you very much for the detailed response. Our house is on a Hill and we face the Northwest, so the Triple Pane Glass option seems like a good option, especially in the Winter when we can have 25 to 40 MPH sustained winds for a period of time.

Just wanted to mention a few things I've learned about Triple Pane Glass from first hand experience. If the primary goal is Sound Reduction, Triple Pane Glass will help but it will not give you the sound reduction you may have been seeking. With a standard set-up with 3 panes of 1/8" Glass, you'll only achieve a STC value between 33 to 35. This does not stop Airport Noise or Noise from heavy trucks on a Highway. It will muffle it, but not stop it.

We decided to go with the United Windows 8000 Series Window with Triple Pane Glass. It has a U-Factor of 0.19 and a CR value of 72 which is very impressive. I was able to see the 8000 Series on display at a Lowes Store. Our contractor is getting them through another Distributor (not Lowes). The Window is very well built and well engineered. Definitely built to last. In your review you mentioned the "thick frames" as a liability. I see it as a major plus. This vinyl window will not "bow".

Hi Randy, in some houses the windows are very tiny, so the thick frame makes them look even smaller, but you are right as well, that the thickness of the frame adds to durability.

I am considering purchasing the 8000 series,with a gray blind encased for my bathroom. 1) Will the encased blind provide privacy when the shades are closed? 2) will I ever need to clean the blinds and if so, how would I do that?) 3) what is the warranted for these windows. Thank you.

Fantastic post but I was wondering if you could write a little more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Kudos!
