What do you think about European windows?

I wonder if they will help to retain more heat or if it is just marketing.

There are crap European window brands and product lines same as American window lines. Need to be more specific. "European" alone is not enough. There are American manufacturers who are just as good at retaining heat and quite honestly installation has aa big part as well. Anything Builder Basic from Europe of the USA will be mediocre at best overall.

I saw an advert for these European windows and am thinking of installing them, but first I would like to hear about people's real experiences, is this just marketing or do they really hold heat better?
