Make your home less expensive to heat
You don't have to build a solar home to
have a house that is energy- efficient.
There are a variety of building products'
on the market today that can make your
home less expensive to heat and cool.
As an energy -conscious homeowner,
you're likely to have already invested in in-
sulation and storm doors. Iiut, you may not
realize that windows can be the single
largest cause of energy loss in the American
home!
If your windows are, indeed, the culprit,
you should consider replacing them with
new thermally efficient solid vinyl windows.
Sturdy and virtually maintenance -free,
solid vinyl replacement wuidows offer luany
advantages that simply aren't available
with other types of windows.
Take, for example, the chambered profile
design engineered into each Pertain Tweed
window lineal. This special design creates
dead air pockets that result in reduced heat
and/or cold transfer between a home's in-
terior and exterior.
These chambers also add structural
- strength to the window. They virtually,
• eliminate condensation around the frame at
normal humidity levels.
Another feature of the Certain Teed win-
dow is the double -pane sealed insulated
glass with a 7 -inch dead air space. In com-

bination with the chambered frame, the
double -pane configuration provides greater
thermal efficiency fur better comfort year
round.
In effect, the double -pane design serves as
a prime and storm window combination.
Rut, in contrast to traditional systems, vinyl
replacement windows have virtually
eliminated the need for storm windows.
To cushion the window glass for a
weather -tight fit, the manufacturer uses
wraparound, flexible vinyl, marine -type
glazing. This means no more dry, cracking
putty around the glass that periodically has
to be repaired or replaced.
And to .complete the package. t'er-
tainTeed's window has double weather-
stripping on every window, which creates a
virtually airtight seal and provides added
.protection against air Infiltration and an -
drafts.
Regardless of the type of vinyl replaee-
ment window you choose, however,
remember to keep your sales receipts. The
CertainTeed product will not only help make
life more comforable in your home, but it
may also qualify for a tax credit of up to $300
on your federal taxes. And, CertainTeed
windows never -have to be painted because
the color is molded clear through the
frames.
