4 Million Vinyl Window Sales

Continued consumer emphasis on home energy conservation and comfort, and a bullish economy are expected to push solid vinyl window sales in the replacement window market to approximately four million units this year.

Vinyl windorvs, which represented 6% of the replacement window market in 199, accounted for approximately 2O% of replacement window sales last year.

"The growth of the vinyl segment of the window market has been nothing short of phenomenal," says Jack McDermott, vice president of marketing for solid vinyl windows at CertairiTeed. 'As consumers become more familiar with the thermally efficient and maintenance saving features ofthese units, they're abandoning traditional materials such as wood and aluminum. Also contributing to this trend is the addition of new vinyl window styles that can accom-

Decorative Moulding

(Continued from page 9) has a negative connotation. It means plastic. But in actuality, these mouldings eliminate many of the problems you have with wood mouldings, like warping and splitting. And using the professionally finished mouldings, a do-it-yourselfer or professional saves a lot of time because he doesn't have to bother with sanding and staining the moulding."

Retailers have to be knowledgeable modate virtually any opening and architectural design."

McDermott said most homeowners will continue to look at the contractor as the exclusive supplier and installer of windows, especially where custom fabricating is essential to ensure a precise fit. Homeorvners, he says, also have been attracted to many of the new convenience and maintenance features such as the nightJok for added security, tilt-in sashes for easier cleaning, and color that is molded clear through the frame.

More Pine From Chile

about these benefits, since many customers often aren't informed about new moulding materials, Ramey said. "The real key to the successful retailing and marketing of mouldings is to merchandise and promote, based on customers needs and wants."

EASY application has become an important merchandising point for moulding. A new generation of products includes a pre-cut, pre-joined and preJinished section for corners as well as presanded moulding, both designed lor d-i-yers.

Don't Bank On Santa Claus

Home centers will be seeing sales growth in excess of l0% this Christmas season, according to James Newton, president of Economic Perspectives, [nc. However, he warns, don't bank on the prevalent view ofwaiting for the second half of the year when real GNP growth will accelerate to within the 4-6% range.

"Retailers doing merchandise ordering for the upcoming Chrisunas season based upon this type of optimistic planning are courting the same profitability disaster experienced during Christmas 1984. To do well this year, retailers must recognize economic realities, which suggest modest consumer growth, rather than pinning their hopes on an economic miracle that is highly unlikely to occur," he cautions.

Lighting Sales Stay Bright

Folloving a period of restrictive grovth in the early 1980s, the lighting fixture industry has bounced back, buoyed by revitalized construction activity.

Manufacturers' sales rose 14.2% in 1984 and gained approximately another lO.2% in 1985, up to $7 billion, according to Business Trend Analysts, Inc.

Residential lighting fixture sales have benefited from the turnaround in construction. Falling interest rates should continue to promote more residential building throughout this year. Tempering this boost to residential lighting sales, however, is a deluge of imported residential lighting products. Imports rose a staggering460% from 1983 to 1984.

Despite import pressure, residential lighting sales are expected to remain strong as U.S. manufacturers introduce more stylish and energy-efficient products. Other sectors of the lighting market are also expected to perform favorably as lighting technology is continually reflected in innovative new lighting products. Overall, sales growth is projected at8.3% annually for the next decade.
