Are they any good?
Specs look good. Much cheaper than the Andersen and Kolbe quotes I've received. My understanding is that Wasco is basically making the windows to a Rehau design. Wasco buys the extrusions from Rehau then assemblies the windows to order. Being a small regional manufacturer it's a bit harder to find info on them.

As an example:
Wasco
RO 42" x 68" $740
4500 Tilt and Turn
LoE 180 Dual pane
U factor 0.28
SHGC .44
DP 100psf
Nailing Fin
White Exterior
Wood Grain interior
Kolbe
RO 42" x 68" $1,656.71
Dual Glazed, H-K LoE 366 Insulated Therma Plus Glass, Mill Finish Spacer, Glass
Preserve without Neat Coating, Beveled Bead
That's all the specs that the distributor for Kolbe supplied.
My Andersen quote wasn't itemized but was 32% higher than Wasco. The Andersen's were 400 series casement rather than T&T. They're a wood clad which I tried telling the distributor I didn't care about.
To be honest at this point I don't really have apples to apples numbers. Seems that's how everything is with construction, everyone wants to quote things different...

Glad to hear they have favorable pricing. I've often seen the $/sq' comparison. Out of curiosity, is that usually done based on rough opening size or glass area?
