GE 22-McHENRY Gliding glass aoors give room'see wall' Homeowners who never hid a light under a bushel may be doing something equally defeatist -- hiding a view behind a wall. Homes that are fortunate enough to have a view shouldn't require a trip out doors to see it. Where pos sible, the home should be opened up to surrounding scenery even if that means "removing" a wall. What may sound drastic is actually a simple and practical solution. In one seaside home, the transformation from closed wall to open view was ac complished by installing a three-panel glass patio door. There, a second-floor back bedroom faced a beach and private dock and over looked a magnificent bay. But the room's single win dow and a narrow, glass- pane door leading to a deck severely limited the view of this visual extravaganza. The original window and PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH door also gave short shrift to other seaside benefits: sunlight, fresh air and cool breezes. The whole scene bright ened with installation of the gliding door, a low- maintenance Andersen Perma-Shield unit which answered the home's spe cific needs. The gliding door has vi nyl-clad sash and frames that don't need painting and will not pit, rust or corrode even when exposed to abrasive salt air. Double- pane insulating glass, tem pered for safety, cuts heat loss through the large glass areas and assures year- round comfort. 15, 1974 Home water fountains cool idea With the first signs of spring -- young Americans think of baseball, and with spring and summer sports The wide patio door gives the room a "see wall" with sparkling bayside views that light up the interior decor. The door also pro vides easy access outdoors to a comfortable awning- shaded "poop deck" over looking the waves. (to comes a steady stream of traffic around the kitchen sink. To serve the needs of your thirsty moppets, consider installation of an Elkay water cooler designed for home use.
