Here in FL hurricane rated windows are the big thing for replacement. They’re very expensive, so builders won't use them, you’ll have to retrofit at your expense.
I don’t think they’re multipane, but they could be. A neighbor just had his house done, and it was close to $30k. When we built our first house down here we asked for double pane windows, not just for the energy savings but for noise, too. Builder wouldn’t do it, even if we paid. New South are the big window guys down here, although there are plenty others, too. https://newsouthwindow.com <https://newsouthwindow.com/> -D > On Sep 12, 2020, at 8:49 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > >> >> I wanted to find mean time before failure, as double paned normal glass >> seems to fog and fail very swiftly > > > 20 years, if you're lucky?
