Windows: Frameless vs. Framed

[Ironhorsenva]

For my 19' that's on order, my current build sheet has extra insulation and frameless thermal windows. Cost is $1,500. My understanding is all of the windows for this option are awning type, opening outward, and that the back window over the bed will open but the front window over the table does not open. Front window shield opens outward though.

If I were to choose the extra insulation and thermal windows for $1,000, all of my windows that open would be "sliders". I also understand that the back window over the bed would not open and neither would the front window. Is this correct?

I also gather that if I go with the plain thermal sliders, I would not be able to have thermal windows over the sink and in the bathroom because ETI does not mix and match windows. Is that correct?

Thanks,

John

no mix and match seems correct..but you only have the option for the thermal sliders if your build sheet has been approved for that option..at some point some time ago, ETI apparently discontinued the thermal slider option on new build sheets....
