Methodology for Window Research and Directory Profiles

How Replacement Window Guide sources claims, handles unknowns, dates its verification, and checks installer directory profiles before publication.

Source standards

Claims are drawn from primary manufacturer spec sheets, NFRC ratings, and Energy Star before publication.

No invented values

U-factors, SHGC, frame details, and prices are left unknown until a source confirms them.

Directory firewall

Payment for a directory listing never changes a profile's verification status, its ordering, or the evidence boundary applied to every provider.
