Are your energy bills through the roof, and is your home still cold in
the winter and hot in the summer?
That's the reality for many homeowners in Wisconsin today, but it
doesn't have to be that way. Advances in glass technology and window
construction in recent years have made old style windows obsolete. In
fact, some windows now on the market are more energy efficient than the
walls that surround them.
Taking into consideration the window technology available today, we are
able to produce high-performance windows that keep comfort at a maximum
and energy consumption at a minimum.
Read this book if you are considering replacing some or all of the
windows in your home. Learn how to assess the performance metrics on
window labels and choose the best product for your situation. Find out
about single-, double-, and triple-glazing and how it affects conduction
and air infiltration. Read about argon and krypton, and learn which more
effectively slows conduction.
From the hazards of "doing it yourself," to the pitfalls of hiring a
handyman, Wisconsinite Scott "The Window Guy" Young draws from a
lifetime of experience replacing windows the right way. He guides you
through the basics of glass production, window styles and construction,
installation, price, and long-term value.
Arm yourself with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions
about replacing the windows in your home. Then window shop like a pro
and enjoy the comfort, convenience, good looks, and energy efficiency
that high-quality, properly installed windows will deliver for years to
come.
