Vinyl Window Color Choices

Retailers are now able to meet the market demand for colors other than white in vinyl framed windows.

Architectural bronze. darker colors and shades such as almond beige as well as woodgrains are now available from several manufacturers.

"White remains the most popular frame choice, but additional colors have met the demands of many consumers, architects and builders. " according to Brian Marks, national sales manager for Vinyl Building Products lnc. "The woodgrain units allow homeowners to match or complement their fine wood furniture without having to worry about painting. Many architects and builders like the bronze."

There hus been a growing acceptance of vint,l windows in both the new construction and remodelins market over the past lew years.

New Window, Door Standards

For the first time a standard has been developed for skylight/roof windows by the National Wood Window and Door Association.

ln development for over a year, the standard is designed to aid manufacturers and specifiers in choosing proper windows for use in roofs, but a retailer can benefit from it by being able to assure customers that theY are buying quality products made according to NWWDA standards. These are recognized by the federal government agencies as meeting or exceeding their product requirements.

"With the great strides in manufacturing technology being made everyday, the industry expects NWWDA to respond with advanced standards to help ensure quality," John W. Shoemaker. NWWDA executive vice president, said. "We have been able to accomplish this thanks to the on-going efforts of various NWWDA technical standards committees."

The association recently announced a new wood flush door standard, NWWDA I.S. 1-87. In addition to establishing quality guidelines, the new standard updates references to hardboard face panels and amends requirements for determining warp tolerances and telegraphing. A wood door assembly performance standard is expected to be completed by early 1989.

Double Glazed Windows Save $

A major comparative performance study has concluded that double-glazed windows and sliding glass doors promise the highest annual energy savings per initial cost dollar over other widely used conservation options.

Conducted by Davis EnergY Group, Davis, Ca., the study analyzed 12 conservation options, including five double-glazing (insulating glass) orientation possibilities; wall insulation improvement from Rll to Rl9; slab edge insulation; three levels of air conditioning equipment improvement, and two levels of gas furnace equipment.

Double glazing proved significantly more cost effective than the other measures studied, across a full range of California climate zones and residential unit sizes. For each measure, improved energy performance

The Merchant Magazlne was projected relative to base case configurations consisting of two single family residences (1,384 and 2,415 sq. ft.) and a ten unit apartment building (976 sq. ft./apt.). Eight climate zones, which represent 78oh of new California housing starts, were analyzed.

The incremental initial cost of double glazing versus single glazing was estimated to be $1.48 per sq. ft. (installed) for a typical residential window and sliding glass door mix. These cost estimates were based on a survey of four California window manufacturers located in different regions of the state. Estimated heating and cooling "source energy" savings versus single glazing range from l7% in ClimateZone l4 (Barstow) to 330/o in Climate Zone 7 (San Diego) for a 1,384 sq. ft. home.

This study was commissioned by the California Association of Window Manufacturers (CAWM) to provide an update and comprehensive review of benefit/cost relationships between double glazing and other conservation methods.

Asbestos Claims Settled

Louisiana-Pacific Corp.'s Fibreboard Corp. subsidiary has reached out of court settlements with two of its insurers confirming total coverage of $144 million for asbestos-related claims. The agreements call for the insurers to make periodic payments to Fibreboard through 1991.

In addition, Judge Ira Brown announced his tentative decision in the San Francisco asbestos insurance coverage cases. Judge Brown's decision has the effect of maximizing Fibreboard's insurance coverage. As a result, Fibreboard potentially has $45 million additional insurance available under certain excess insurance policies and an undeterminable amount of additional insurance available from "no aggregate limit" primary policies.

"These settlements and Judge Brown's decision eliminate much of the uncertainty Fibreboard has faced regarding the extent of its asbestosrelated insurance coverage," according to Harry A. Merlo, LouisianaPacific's chairman and president.

All use of asbestos in the manufacture of Fibreboard's products was discontinued in 1970, eight years prior to Louisiana-Pacific's acquisition of the company in 1978.
