I am planning to replace all my home's window. I was planning to use Milgard. A window company gave me a quote on International Window. How are they compared to Milgard?

Not familar with International brand windows. Compare their warranties! Milgard offers a pretty fair warranty on their frames, as well as the seal of the glass. Milgard (vinyl) frames have welded corners. That's good. What does International windows have? If they are butt corners, that are held together with screws, you will pay less for them, but you will get what you pay for! If a Milgard IG unit fogs up, due to a leak in the seal, during the warranty period, the IG unit will get replaced. Will International's? I don't know. If so, does this replacement cover just the IG unit, or does it include the labor to replace it?
