MANY HOMES on the North Shore are still fitted with single glazed glass - a possible hold over from the deys when energy costs were inexpensive. However, it goes without saying that those days are far gone. Above, Mike Butterfield, owner of Everbrite’s Housewarmers, shows Lynn Larsen a sample of one of the many styles of thermal glass that are available for peo-

ple who wish to convert.

Good windows cost less

WINDOWS play an impor- tant role in any home.... when they work the way they should. When they don't, they should be replaced Anyone thinking about replacing some windows should look beyond the ob- vious considerations of price, appearance and style. When the cost of buying windows ts low, says the Andersen Cor- poration of Bayport, Minn., the price of owning them is

often high.

When window shopping, says Andersen, consumers should look for units that perform as well as they look, require litthe maintenance and help conserve energy.

Look for windows that have a wood sash and frame or wood sheathed in vinyl. Wood 1s used in well-made windows because wood is a natural insulator. “When sheathed in vinyl, it offers an

extra measure of thermal protection in addition to low maintenance.

Glazing is another factor in the performance of a win- dow. Insulating glass, two panes of glass with an in. sulating air space between. reduces heat loss.

By retarding the flow of ra diant heat in winter and sum mer, high-performacne insulating glass performs even better than triple

glazing.

Since the virtually invisi- ble, microthin§ coating 1s bonded to the airspace sur- tace of the inside pane, there is nothing to operate, install or clean. The coating on the high-performance insulating glass is permanent and will not crack, wrinkle or roll up

Another element that con- sumers should consider when shopping for windows 1s the weatherstripping
