Kenmore's Climate Data and Its Top-Rated Window Pros
ENERGY STAR groups King County into its Northern zone, the U-factor and SHGC target worth checking against any quote you get in Kenmore. Below that spec discussion sit 10 installers, their order set by Google rating, since Kenmore is outside this site's window license file. A high rating is worth a look, not a finished decision.

What zone 4C means for a Kenmore window
Kenmore falls in IECC climate zone 4C, and ENERGY STAR separately groups King County into its Northern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Kenmore.
A Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
