Vinyl's newest generation of designs feature a wood grain surface texture and are durabie_ and virtually maintenance-free. , * Use insulated exterior doors, not hollow ones. Feel the inside of the door with your hand on a cold day. If it's much cooler than adjoining walls, consider replacing it with an insulated door. * Seal patio-doors not used in winter with a removable sealant, or cover with heat- shrink plastic on the interior. * Make seasonal house checks in the fall and spring. Inspect all windows and doors for caulking weatherstripping damage. and + Check the tracks of sliding glass doors for dirt. This can throw the doors out of align- ment and cause air leakage Veleome Wagon. SINCE 1930 It’s time to call your Welcome Wagon hostess. Phone _365-2455 _ Marie + Keep garage doors closed if the garage is attached to the house. Make sure the bottom edges of the doors are weath- erstripped and sealed tightly. + Build your new garage on the north side of the house if pos- sible where it acts as a buffer to cold. South-side garages only prevent solar gain. + Plug holes and cracks around foundation with caulking, sin- gle component polyurethane foam or compressed glass fibre insulation. + Check the sill plate in your home. This where the walls meet the foundation - and where most air infiltration takes place in Canadian homes. Be sure to seal the sill plate before insulating the basement. WINDOWS + Consider replacing single- glazed windows with high- performance windows. Major technological changes extend beyond glass itself to low-con- duction spacers and frames. In the average home with con venuonual windows, half the heat lost through windows goes out cracks; the other half goes straight through the panes and frames. + Don't confuse “tandatd double-glavéd wind6ws with the high-performance dou- ble-glazed windows, which cost about 8% more but are twice as effective. Triple- glazed windows are twice as good again. Low-emissivity windows (know as low-E) use an almost invisible metal coating to reduce heat loss, reflect outside heat in sum- mer and block ultraviolet light which fades draperies, carpets and furniture. Best of all: two low-E panes with an insulating gas, like argon, between them. LOWEST PRICES! Wednesday, March 29, 1995 The Castlegar Sun Page 3C CASTLEGAR HOMEFINIDERS HOMFINDERS...

For best results, look for three factors: vapour barrier, reflective surface, and a device that creates a tight seal with the window frame. + Install energy-efficient win- dow and skylight film which allows light transmission while blocking heat and glare. * Repair areas between glass panes and wood frames with glazing compound. Putty costs less but tends to dry out and crack. + If you don't need a window for ventilation or as an emer- gency exit, caulk it rather than install weatherstripping. It's not only cheaper and quicker, it's more effective. + Skylight glazing should be as thermally resistant as possi- ble. Heat loss in winter and gain in summer is greater than that of vertical windows. Con- sider light reflective, low-E glass to reduce overheating. An exterior awning (or match- stick blinds), reflective film or even whitewash are other inexpensive ways to deal with summer heat. POOLS + Use pump timers to regulate energy and the length of time the pool is heated. * Use a thermal pool blanket to keep water warm overnight and reduce water evaporation. + Investigate the use of solar heat panels to heat your pool. They could be very cost effective. WATER HEATING + Kpep your water heater at 50°C (unless you have a dish- washer, which requires water heated at 60°C). * Convert your water heater to natural gas to save as much as 45% compared with electricity and as much as 60% compared with propane or oil (based on a typical family of four in Vancou- ver where BC Gas supplies natu- ral gas, B.C. Hydro supplies electricity and others supply oil and propane as of October, 1993). * Going away? Turn the water heater to the ‘pilot light’ set- ting. Newer tanks have ‘vaca- tion’ settings to turn off heat for energy savings. MT. SENTINEL REALTY 365-5228 1451 Columbia Avenue Castlegar, B.C.
