SEPTEMBIERI 25, 1985, PAGE 23 Don't take'stock in replacement windows Rcplacing an old. drafty window with a wiidow designed for new con- struction is akin to walking in a shoe that's ton big, You can try to use fiflers to miake it fit cornfortably. but it won't bc quite righit. -Replacement windows really should be customn fitted for the par- ticular opening they're going in:' says Brian Marks, national sales mianager of thc comipany that produces Vinyl ine windows - a leading hrand. -Only a tighit-fitting unit will bc an effective insulator. not to mentioni a guard against air and water infiltration." lie says. According to Marks. there's one major problemi with stock size win- dows. "In miost houles, it's very rare ta find windowv openings that conforni exactly to those stock sizes. If a dealer or installer tries to compcnsate lbor the difference in size by putting "Fil lers" around the window. beware!"- he warns. A better bet when buying windows to replace oId inefficient windows is ta select those that are customn manu- factured for your home's individual re- quirements. Vinyline rigid vinyl-framn- cd windows, for example, are made to order for virtually any size window opening in your home. Marks notes these customn sizes usually eost no more than other quality windows available only in stock sizes. Once the homecowner decides on the type and brand of window he or she wàrnts to use to replace the old win- dows, the window area must be mca- sured very prccisely. "The dealer or installer will come to vour home to determine the sizes you need."ý says Marks. **If homeowners want t() do it themiselves. we advise themn to consult with an expert. Mistakes can hc cost- ly.'. The most popular types of windows available today are aluminumn, wood and vinyl. According to Marks, vinyl- framied windows - the ncwest of the thrce - are on their way to becomi- ing the mnost popular type because they are excellent insulators, don't necd to be painted, and don't have the condensation, corrosion, rotting and pitting problcms of other types. "Everywhere you turn, you sec more and more people installing vinyl windows," he says. -Even the archi- teets at the Statue of Liberty restora- tion projeet selected Vînyline windows."
