Replacement Window Prism Grids

19 years ago

I will soon make a decision as to which replacement windows will be installed in my 76 year old Tudor-style home. I like Certainteed's Bryn Mawr II windows with the Prism Grids. Prism Grid is a 3M Accentrim tape that is permanently bonded between the double-pane glass unit and creates a look of beveled glass. It suppossedly has been tested to resist shrinkage, discoloration, and delamination and is guaranteed for 20 years. I love the look; but, I'm hesitant to go with it. Has anyone had any experience with Prism Grid or heard or read anything about it's pros or cons?
