Osh awa 725-0001 Alu minum storm windows can slash heating bïlis WINTERIZE WITH STORM WINDOWS - The insulating value of an air space between a storm wi:ndow and the original window can have a hugs, effect on winter energy bills. And, aluminum storms will last years without painting. For many people, the first chili of autumn stirs fond memories of brilliantly colored leaves. football games and fresh apple cider. But it may also be a grim reminder of up- coming heating buis. If you've been hit hard by the high cost of keeping your home warm, con- sider winterizing with aluminum storm windows. They reduce cold drafts from outside. keep warm air tromn escaping through cracks and rcduce heat transfer through the panes làr bette r than a single layer of glass. A littie known advantage is that the pueket of air trapped between the original windows and-storni window-s acts as an effective insulator. This in- visible layer of insulation works dou- Nle duty by keeping out the cold and street noise. The U.S. government is so convine- ed of the energy-saving value of storm windows that it will give you a 15 per- cent tax eredit up to the first $300 spent on this home improvement. Aluminum storm windows give you other benefits unrelated to energy ef- ticiency. You neyer have to paint them because they'do flot peel, f1ake, blister, rot or rust. They reduce condensation on prime windows. And, they improve security by providing an extra measure of protection against forced entry. Caulking throughout, home stops winter heat stealers Even in the most well-built and well- insulated home, a significant amount of' heat in the winter is lost around windows. doors and through a variety of* uther -heat stealers- in a houses structure. In tact, it is estimiated that windows and dlours ilone can account for as niuch as 215 percent ot' the total heat loss in a home. The incidence ut' heat loss can be dramiatical ly reduced hy caulking cracks and giaps around doors and win- dows. cLtting enerllzv !custs hy as miuch as 10 percent a year. Caulkint! is the process of applying a flexible. adhcsivc substance which is dispcnsed out of' a cartridge by a special caulking gun. It is an inexpen- sive. yct highly eflèctive niethod of* imi- prwving a hum e*s energy ct'ficiencv. Amiong the rmaýnv varieties oufcaulk- ing compunds un the market. silicone caulks. 'such as Silicone Il. Home ProIlm Window & Door Sealant from General Electric, are perhaps the most durable. This interior and exterior sealant is warranted to remain durable for up to 50 years and adheres to all painted and unpainted woods, al] mietals, most plastics. as well as masonry and concrete.. As a general rule. caulIking should be done anywhere that two different building materials meet. Some of the areas where heat loss conimonly oc- curs include: between foundation and siding; around window and door frames where trim and siding meet. air conditioners. dryer v'ents. pipe entries. utility wires, TV antenna entries. cellar windows. corner joints of sidîng, chiminey tlashing, outside lighting fix- turcs. and uutdoor faucets; under caves: cracks and smiall holes in shingles. board and batten; as well as clapboard and aluminum siding. ~I1!~!99E5 ALUMINUM LIMITED established 1949. 845 FAREWELL ST.
