The 5050 was sold as Reflections 5050 and is now called Simonton 5050. Simonton positions it as the traditional line focused on energy efficiency and durability: fusion-welded one-piece frame and sash, multi-chambered vinyl profiles, and advanced weatherstripping. Both sashes on the double-hung open and tilt in for cleaning, and the 5050 double-hung carries the Good Housekeeping Seal.
The standard glass is a 3/4-inch insulating unit with ProSolar Low-E, argon and an Intercept spacer, set 3/4 inch into the sash. Region-specific glass packages that meet ENERGY STAR are optional, including the PLUS fourth-surface Low-E for northern climates, along with obscure and bronze or gray tinted glass. The warranty is the same Double-Lifetime Limited Warranty as the 5500. Optional Supercept stainless or Super Spacer foam spacers are listed, and the sill is sloped 10 degrees with a triple-step sill upgrade.
For a Twin Cities budget replacement, the 5050 with the Northern glass package is a solid pick; step up to the 5500 if you want triple-pane, Super Spacer or more styles.

Insulation and energy performance in Minnesota
The 5050 insulates with the same welded multi-chambered vinyl and 3/4-inch ProSolar Low-E argon glass as the 5500 but with fewer upgrade paths. For Minnesota, order the Northern-zone ENERGY STAR package with the PLUS fourth-surface Low-E, and put the savings toward a careful full-frame install.

Ratings
Simonton offers optional region-specific glass packages that meet ENERGY STAR guidelines for every U.S. climate zone; the U-factor depends on the package, so ask for the NFRC label.
What the install adds
On install day we set the unit on a sill pan, tape the nailing fin or frame to the housewrap, fill the rough-opening gap with low-expansion foam, and finish the interior with backer rod and sealant so the air barrier is continuous. Exterior joints get backer rod and a quality sealant, so the rating on the label is what you feel in the room.
