What is interesting is that HURD does not seem to list U (or R 
values) on their web page.

Loewen Windows (http://www.loewen.com/) does, and their triple glazed 
windows offer R values ‰ 7-8.
Loewen are somewhat lesss expensive than Pella 
(http://www.pella.com/) and seem to offer higher R values.

I  do not know about Anderson's.
