visible plastic windows can help stop drafts

d cut high fuel costs

en moderate
fall weather
gives way to
frigid winter
, drafty windows can make
you uncomfortable. High
eating bills cam put an
nwanted chill in your
ousehold budget as well.
‘an you imagine a similar
scenario when winter snows
elt and cold air gives way to
arm spring drafts?
Regardless of the season, up-
nd-down swings in
emperature Can cause your
ome, garage, apartment or
storage area walls to sweat,
crack and peel.

Many people believe
it is too expensive to find a
permanent solution to the all-
too-common problem of
drafty windows. So what do
homeowners or renders do?
Often, they merely replaster
and repaint damaged areas
while using as much
electricity, oil or gas heat as
necessary to remain
comfortable. Over an
extended period of time, this
“solution” can cost more
money than some other ways
to dampen drafts.

Here are three ideas
that can help lower your
monthly fuel bills. The first
project involves replacing
your old double-hung
windows with new double
pane ones. A word of caution:
Replacement requires a
significant upfront outlay of
time and money, so don’t do
it unless your windows are
falling apart and you
absolutely have to make the
adjustment. The average cost
of a new window is $250.

In addition to
materials and a carpenter to
install them, other workers
would be needed to finish the
job. Think about it: When
you rip out the old window,
you have to remove the wood
molding, the surrounding
inside wall and the outside
siding material. The project
Tequires specialists who can
plaster or sheetrock the wall,
paint the new material and
handle other construction
details.

Installing new glass
storm windows or
thermopanes is, in principle, a
good idea. Unlike a single
pane of glass that actually
conducts hot and cold air
away from your living area, a
double pane of glass
sandwiches dead air that then
acts as an effective weather
barrier. This can prevent
conduction and convection.
Conduction is the process that
allows cold air on the outside
of your glass window to
transmit the cold to the
inside. During convection,
cold drafts enter the room
through cracks in the
caulking around window
frames

This brings us to our
second project, one that relies
on plastic storm windows.
Plastic helps you save on
your energy bills by
eliminating conduction and
convection. But buyer
beware: The quality of
materials varies widely
among brands.

Harold G Warp,
president of Warp Brothers.
nearly 70-year-old plastics
products manufacturing
company, points out that one
material literally in a class by
itself, Flex-O-Glass, is
clearer, stronger and will last
longer (over several winter
seasons) when compared to
plastic sheeting. Flex-O-Glass
is faster to cut to size and
install than regular glass,
which tends to be heavier and
more expensive. Anyone with
scissors, tacks or staples and
molding strips can make their
own storm windows.
Hardware stores and home
centers carry clear Flex-O-
Glass, other less-clear plastic
rolls and plastic window kits
with everything your need to
finish the job

“Consumers should
insist that their plastic storm
windows provide a clear view
just like window glass. But
unlike glass, plastic storm
windows won’t shatter when
you’re installing them or
when they are hit by
snowballs or hail, for
example,” Warp says.

Flex-O-Glass was the

original plastic storm window
kit first patented by Harold
Warp 69 years ago, in 1924
In addition to its use as a
storm window, the material
can also be used to tightly.
seal doors, porches, sheds and
other openings. Ask for
Warp’s Flex-O-Glass at your
local hardware store or
contact the company at 4647
W. Augusta Blvd., Chicago,
IL 60651

A third idea you can
use to keep temperature
extremes from damaging your
belongings or depleting your
pocketbook is often
overlooked. The battle
against fuel costs is based on
a simple scientific fact:
Sunlight heats up carpets and
furnishings increasing overall
heat levels. So when you
leave your house or
apartment in the morning,
make sure the window
coverings are in their proper
seasonal positions: up in
winter to let in the daytime
sun; down in summer to keep
the sun out. Energy analysts
say that cleaning your
windows just before the
heating season can help even
more.

It pays to re-evaluate
the condition of draft-prone
