When you're shopping for replacement windows, check their U-values. This is a stan­ dard unit of measurement for windows which accurately in­ dicates the ability of its differ­ ent components to insulate. The lower the U-value, the bet­ ter it prevents heating or cool­ ing loss. The best replacement win­ dows bear the AAMA (Ar­ chitectural Aluminum Manu­ facturers Association) Certifi­ cation label. It assures you that the window has passed tough tests approved by the Ameri­ can National Standards Insti­ tute. While you can install alu­ minum replacement windows during the winter, it's wiser to select them now so that they will be in place before the cold weather comes. If your home is air-conditioned, they will also help to prevent the cooled air from escaping. If you can't afford new win­ dows for the entire house right now, you can still reduce heat­ ing or cooling loss by having them installed initially in the rooms you use most. Then, gradually, you can add re­ placements to the other rooms. Remember, too, that an in­ come tax credit of 15 percent up to $300 applies to this type of energy-saving home im­ provement.

Garden room: touch of summer, all year round Bringing spring and sum­ mer into your house year- round can be as easy as water­ ing a plant. Create your own garden room out of an en­ closed porch, or turn that empty playroom into a verdant plant nursery. Start with easy maintenance flooring. A good choice is Ital­ ian ceramic tiles which are not scratched by sand and soil, nor stained by splashes of wa­ ter. Add wicker furniture with bright cushions and throw pil­ lows. Then decorate with cheery wall hangings. Potted plants can be set on the floor or on wooden or wrought iron tables which will complement the natural feel­ ing. Use cheerful blinds or light curtains at the windows to get maximum sunlight for those plants which need it. Your new room is set for garden enjoyment no matter what the weather.

Brown and bronze-framed aluminum windows are almost as popular as white, and other colors can be special ordered. You can even choose one color for the outside of the window and another for the inside. These colors are permanently baked-on at the factory and the frames need no painting. Whatever style or color you select, it's important that the window be thermalized. This means that the aluminum frame has a built-in insulating barrier between the inside and the outside. The break in the frame keeps the outside cold from being conducted inside the house through the frame This "thermal break" and superior weatherstripping are used in all component parts of the window, along with double or triple glazing (two or three sheets of glass separated by dead air spaces).
