| Tuscany vs. StyleLine Vinyl Windows |
| While Milgard Tuscany and StyleLine windows are made of the same materials and
carry the exact same warranty, there are still some significant differences between them. In the images below, you can
see some of the visual differences.

| Probably the most obvious difference between the 2 windows is the sight
line of the sashes. In the Tuscany they are even and in the StyleLine they are staggered.

| Another big difference is that the Tuscany window has a heavier construction
and components are thicker and wider. The Tuscany window also has greater depth at 3-1/4" thick while the StyleLine window
is only 2 1/2" thick. The Z Bar (shown below) is slightly wider on the Tuscany as well and it also has a beveled surface
that makes it look more like a wood frame.

| At the bottom of the window there are holes that allow water to vent out of the
window. These are called weep holes and they are designed differently in the 2 windows. The Tuscany window has a baffled
weep hole that looks cleaner and prevents water from being blown into the frame. The StyleLine window just has openings
that let the water drain out and are clearly visible from several feet away.

| A difference more difficult to see is that the distance between the 2
panes of glass is 3/4" on the Tuscany window and only 1/2" on the StyleLine. This is important because the greater
the distance, the better the insulating properties of the window.
