Home Improvement Tips
From

Carol Oglow

Energy-Efficient

Experts estimate that 20 w 30 per.
cent of the heat escapes through the
windows in winter, and a similar
amount soaks back in through the
windows in summer.

Window treatments have proven ef
fective in combatting the loss of
energy through windows. Homeown
ers want to know how they can save
on energy bills and decorate their
windows at the same time.

For energy conservation, lined
draperies are recommended. Tests
show significant differences between
unlined and lined drapery samples in
their ability to resist heat flow. In ad
dition, a lining will protect carpets
and upholstery from the sun's rays

One of the most effective means of
creating energy-efficient windows
through decorating is by layering
treatments. Draperies used in com-
bination with shades create an effec-
tive barrier to weather. Heavy fabrics
with a tight weave are good

the winter.

611 Columbia Ave., Castlegar

Window Treatments Prove Effective

Such window accessories as cor
nices, particularly those with closed
tops, also help keep in warmth, as do
side-sealing drapery devices such as

Shades can be made more energy
efficient by the use of either magnetic
seals or track edge-sealing systems
which provide tighter seals around the
windows. Shades are also available
with energy-efficient backings

Insulating treatments are especial
ly recommended on north-opening
windows and possibly west-opening
ones where prevailing winds blow in

The use factor will make or break
the efficiency of energy-efficient win
dow treatments. A homeowner who
leaves all shades on the north win
dows down 24 hours a day and raises
and lowers all other shades daily, will
save more than a homeowner who
leaves all shades open every day

CONTEMPORARY BUT
CONSERVATIVE

his contemporary but conserva-
i tive house is scaled for econo-
my in siting and construction
suitable for a young family, empty
nesters or as a second home. It is only
50 feet wide to fit on a narrow lot and
it carefully packages three bedrooms
and living spaces into just 1,422
square feet, with an optional -balcony
room of 585 square feet
Despite the economy in size, the
house is nicely detailed, with a wide
clerestory window at the center
flooding the vaulted living room with
natural light. A log-sized fireplace
centered on one wall warms the living
room, and there is a sliding door out
to a sheltered patio or wood deck
The dining room, for more-formal
meals, and the nook for breakfasts or
snacks, both adjoin the U-shaped
kitchen. The nook also has a bright
cheery window seat
The master bedroom has wall clos-
ets flanking the back of the living
room fireplace, and a private bath
with a shower. The hall bathroom
serves guests and the two front bed-
rooms, both with window seats
A utility room between the hall and
garage walls moves two feet into the
garage to make way for stairs when the
vaulted balcony room is added. This
area, open with a railing to the living
room below, offers extra bedroom
space or a den, crafts room or.play
area for children. In the daylight base-
ment version, stairs are added in the
same area and the main floor area
increases to 1,482 square feet

There are

are a few suggestions:

¢ Divide the house

a big job a lot less daunting, but
also teaches kids the importance of
cleaning up after themselves. Once
, they see how long it takes to clean,
they may think twice about leaving
those clothes or toys laying around.
Family cleanup days also provide
a great opportunity to spend some
quality family time, as well as pro-
vide a sense of accomplishment
and pride in the family home.
-veral ways to involve
the whole family in a cleanup. Here

use appliances. A 5-year-old could
easily use a Dustbuster to make
sure every corner in the house is
free. from dust and cobwebs.

So pick a Saturday or Sunday
(well in advance so no one's plans
are ruined), turn up the music,
take out the mops and get the
whole family cleaning. then, when
the house is spic and span, end
the day with a trip to the family's
favorite pizza or burger joint to
celebrate a job well-done.
