FAQ – What are the pros and cons of each window panel?

The primary difference in the window panels is the overall height of the panel itself. The P1 and P2 panels are full height panels that start on the floor and run full height to the top plate. The P3 and P4 panels incorporate a 17-3/4" kneewall on the floor which makes the overall wall height the same as the P1 and P2 panels. The kneewall section makes it easier to run electrical and cable if so desired. If using the full height panels electrical and cable can be run in the floor.
