A Light At The End Of The Energy Crisis Tunnel (NAPS)—Learning more about the latest windows and doors may help homeownerssee their way to saving money on heating andcooling costs. In products such as the Integrity Windows and Doors from Marvin, made with tough Ultrex cladding, there is considerably less expansion or contraction than you might find in other window or door materials. In addition, Ultrex is non-con- ductive, insulating extreme temperatures from the glass in the windows anddoors as well as from the interior of the homeitself. An option that can also help during times of high-energy costs is Low E II coatings and argon gas between the glass panes. This glazing, standard across the Integrity line, minimizes summer heat gain by reducing high-angle summerlight that increases temperatures in a home. In addition, it absorbs the warm low angle light to minimize heat loss in the winter. Add a warm edge spacer and these windowsand doors offer one of the most effective glazings in the industry. This can add up to long-term savings for the homeowner, making the line pennywise from the beginning and pound-wiseto the end. Integrity Windows and Doors are also ENERGY STAR approved for all regions of the U.S. The ENERGY STAR rating, only granted to products that significantly reduce an important issue to homeowners.

The cost of a homeisn’t just the bottom line on a mortgage. Heating and cooling costs continue to be an important issue with homeowners, especially in times of energy crisis.
