gene... i've never been able to determine the difference between a 200 casement and a 400 casement
i think the only difference is you can get HP Low-E glass, which you can't get in the 200
also some of them are designated "Builder specials" or something like that..
in the performance charts , there is no difference in terms of infiltration ... only in U-value.. and thta is only because 200 doesn't offer HP Low-E
oh, yeah... exterior colors.. another item
really... job specific... a three season room , with insulated glass but no Low-E... and the exterior sash colr in what you want .. i'd guess 200 would be the correct choice
The only differance I know between 400 and 200 are you can change and design as you see fit the 400 series. ( custom)
The 200 series is as is, standard sizes , etc
