Mtniern. factory-engineered windows come in many st> les as well as sizes. A homeowner's choices in window design arc limited only by his imagination Depending on the size of the opening, choose from double hung, casement, gliding, awn ing, angle-bay and bow win dows or gliding doors. Andersen Corporation, a leading manufacturer of win dows and gliding doors, re minds homeowners to replace the entire unit, not just the sash If frames and sills are shoeing age. replacing only the sash will probably mean that half of the problem remains. Just as important as the size and style of windows is the material that goes into them. Wood or wood sheathed in v inyl are most often used in the man ufacture of quality-made win dows because both offer superior insulating qualities. Other elemenLs of a well-built window include factory-applied weatherstripping and double- pane insulating glass--tuo panes of glass with an insulating air space between Andersen Perma-Shield win dows and gliding doors are twice as weathertight as accept­ able industry standards lor al­ lowable air infiltration.
