But the assump­ tion tnai storia windows are the solution to ail win­ dow energy problems sim­ ply isn't true. A storm window pro­ vides a second layer of glass, which forms an in­ sulating trapped air space between itself and the primary window. This reduces by about 50% the amount of the heat that is lost (or gain­ ed, in summer) directly through the glass. But the storm window doesn't eliminate the loss (or OPEN WIDE AND SAY BILCO What s the difference between a dead end cellar and a basement for living? Answer, direct access to the outdoors.

This "infiltration" loss must be stopped by the primary window. Some­ times this can be accom­ plished by adding weath- erstripplng. But when the primary window is badly deteriorated, there is prob­ ably no hope for it short of replacing it. Up until recent years, window replacement was an expensive, messy or­ deal because the home­ owner simply couldn't al­ ways buy windows that would fit the opening. But not any more. With the development of the replacement win­ dow, new windows can be quicker, easier and more inexpensive than most people realize. A replacement window is custom made to exactly fit the opening into which it will be installed, so there's no need to modify the wall inside or out. The fact that these cus- tom-flt replacement win­ dows are manufactured on modern, time-Saving production-assembly lines makes them no more ex­ pensive than conventional windows. And because they install from inside the house, with no change to the wall or window opening, installation labor is reduced to less than one hour per window. Custom-fit is the only economical way to replace old worn-out windows. And the savings in fuel will repay the cost of the new windows in surpris­ ingly few years. Then, they'll continue to pay the homeowner these, savings. The basic facts 'about total window energy prob­ lems and solutions are explained in an illustrated 136-page book called "The Window Book".
