Replacement windows: There's more to value than meets the eye

arefully chosen,

few investments

can add more value

to your home = than

replacement windows. But
getting the most value from

that investment means
looking beyond the price tag.

‘True value in windows,

more homeowners are finding
in today’s new generation of
vinyl windows.

Beauty, obviously, is a
pleasure. You'll be looking at
(and through) your new
windows for years to come,
so it’s important to enjoy the
experience. But beauty is also
practical. Good-looking
windows enhance not only
the quality of your life but the
long-term value of your

your home and your lifestyle.

Don’t compromise. The
best of today’s vinyl windows
offer the look of traditional

standard — offer double the
insulating value of single
panes. You can do even better

craftsmanship in a wide range

by g wind that use
inert gas and

of styles — including double-
hung, casements, gliders,
picture windows, bays, bows
and geometrics.

Do make sure, however,
that whatever design you
choose, your windows are
made to fit your home.
Unlike old-fashioned wood
windows, available only in
standard sizes, today’s vinyl
windows are custom-
fabricated to fit your window
openings exactly without
unsightly exterior filling or

Like beauty, thermal
efficiency delivers value two
ways — providing real

conductive heat loss.
Low-emissivity, or “Low
E,” reflective coatings further
improve insulation by
keeping winter heat in and
summer heat out. Best
performance is offered by
advanced coatings like
CertainTeed’s patented
Thermaflect™ system, which
uses a double metallic layer
to maximize thermal
efficiency and also filter out a
high percentage of damaging
UV rays that can fade carpets,
drapes and furniture. Unlike
some coatings used today,
Thermaflect achieves its

performance without tinting

Don’t overlook the rest of
the window, either. It’s the
precision with which the
frame and sash = are
constructed that helps seal out
wind and weather. The best of
today’s vinyl windows feature
double weatherstripping and a
honeycomb ‘construction that
builds dead air spaces into the
frame and sash for even more
insulation.

The third element of value
is performance. Today, a
combination of  high-
performance design features
help make vinyl windows last
longer while keeping
maintenance time shorter.

You’ll open and shut your
windows thousands of times
during their life. Good reason
to choose vinyl windows with
one-piece, fusion-welded
frames and sashes that won’t
warp, shrink or swell — for

of trouble-free
operation.

smooth and easy. Industry
dards require that bal

systems be tested to work
4,000 times without failure,
but the best of today’s vinyl
windows use stainless‘steel
coiled springs that deliver
twice that performance.

Low-maintenance vinyl
windows have no paint or
putty to chip, flake or crack
— and no aluminum surfaces
to discolor or corrode. A
wash-up with soap and water
is all it takes to make them
look like new, year after year.

Best of all, most of today’s
vinyl windows come with
easy-cleaning tilt, lift or hinge
mechanisms that let you
quickly wash both sides of
the window from within the
house — no ladders, no
leaning, no hassle.

Finally, be sure to protect
the value of your investment
by selecting windows from a
reliable source.
