The homeowner can easily and economically remedy the problem of inadequate window insulation, whether the home has horizontal, vertical or non-thermopane picture windows. Insulating "storm" windows of high strength aluminum are easy to install, attractive and almost maintenance free. They also offer added security, with integral locks.

The variety of styles and colors available complement the decor of any home, and finishes are mar and fade resistant baked-on acrylic or natural tones.

The do-it-yourself homeowner need only perform two simple measurements at each window, select the style and color of insulating window desired, place the order with his local distributor, and install the windows.

Installation is no tricky procedure. With a drill, screwdriver and caulking gun, a weekend's effort can result in attractive windows that permanently protect against energy losses, provide added security, and never need painting or caulking.

Adjustable sashes and fiberglass screens provide ventilation in spring and fall. All glazing is flexible vinyl, weatherstrip is full-bodied pile or vinyl. Panels are removeable for cleaning.

A new triple-glazing system for Perma-Shield gliding windows that substantially reduces heat loss has been introduced by Andersen Corp.

Double-pane insulating glass, which olfers a major part of the fuel-saving benefits of single glazing with storm windows and has only half the glass surface to be cleaned. is standard in Perma-Shield units.

Removable storm panel over double-pane insulating glass-triple glazing-will increase the insulating value ol these windows by more than 3506 o.ver double-pane insulating glass atone.

With this new system, Andersen now will be able to offer a triple-glazing option on all units except the gliding doors and prefinished basement/utility window.

llEW PIYW000 rack lrom the American Plywood Assn. is of easy-to-assemble 16 gauge tube steel and plywood. Prefabricated with steel components and eyecatching graphics, it needs only 4' x 4' plywood floor.

The 52t/i'x 16" molded galvanized steel modules coated with mastic and natural stone chips have excellent heal reflective values and proven weathertight performance. They have a Class A fire rating and have withstood earthquakes. monsoons, windstorms and other disasters in applications of over 20 years.

Engineered to block heat flow across an entrance sill, a new one-piece aluminum threshold has been introduced by Benchmark for its insulatecl steel entrance systems with standard inswing doors.

This frost-break feature has a rigid polyurethane polymer connector built into the extruded aluminum threshold which forms a thermal barrier while preserving the strength of the metal.

Benchmark's newest energy-saving rhreshold is similar to its 7 l/2" width one-oiece aluminum threshold for the 2" x-6" stud wall energy construction method. Benchmark also offers an outswing standard width version.

Manufactured by General Products Co., Fredericksburg, Va., the Benchmark entrance systems have completely weathersealed frames and come in l4 styles of insulated steel doors which include single and double door units, sidelights and the new Vista 2panel and 3-panel insulated patio door systems.

No matter which Shakertown products are ordered, fronr shingles. shakes, shims and lath to hip and/or ridge processed shakes, they'll arrive in good condition thanks to the 4 to 5 layers of the new plastic stretch-wrapping that's around each lrallet load leaving the plant.

Not only does the wrapped pallet protect the shipment from freight damage, it also provides easy handling and good housekccping in inventory. as well as weather protection at the arrival plant.

Royal's new "Large-and-SmallBowl" stainless steel sink is part of a new line ol "kitchen-expander" sinks by Royal Sink Div., Jensen-Thorsen Corp. These new models are sized for narrow counter-top installation in existing kitchens or new construction.

The Season-all NuPrime Model ll2 two-lite horizontal sliding window in anodized aluminum or white or brown electrostatically bonded baked enamel finish is virtually maintenance free. It's also available with insulating glass to offer an investment payback in reducing heating and cooling costs, as well as maintenance savings.
