Legend, it does.
I figured it will be hard to get quotes anyway since it's not for an actual job but a comparison.

This should be 100% vented outside of the house and sealed correctly, as well as have dampers to stop wind pressure blowing back in.

Are they all thermally broken? If not, don't waste your money. Look for thermally broken and low E glass.
