Just as painting a landscape expresses the beauty of the scene better than words ever could, the beauty captured by a picture window is difficult to describe. Often, replacing several smaller windows with a larger picture window can bring part of the beauty of a landscaped back or side yard into the house. A picture window is just the thing for getting the most out of a yard that has taken time and effort to maintain. Aluminum picture windows come in a wide range of styles that allow for improvement of the appearance of the home and save energy at the same time. All aluminum windows, including picture windows, have two insulating features to minimize heat or cooling loss from the inside of the house to the outside. The aluminum window frame has what is called a thermal break that reduces the heat and cold conducted by the frame from the inside out or in the opposite direction. The other energy-savin- g feature is the use of two or three panes of glass with air space between them. Dead air space is one of the best ways of insulating because it prevents the transfer of heat or cold by the glass pane. The solid and sturdy construction of aluminum window frames is another reason why they can save on energy consumption. The material will not rot or warp, causing openings for air infiltration and heat or cooling loss. Mitred corners are welded together to provide many WEST VALLEY cracked that Replacing years of use. Perhaps the home already has a picture window, but it could use some updating or a new look. Replacing a simple window with a bay or bow window enhances the attractiveness of the home. Because of the versatility of aluminum, any number of styles and types of windows can be tailor made to suit a familys needs. If the house is colonial, replacement windows can be installed with aluminum mullion between the small panes of glass common in colonial windows. A window with wooden mullions will deteriorate over the years because the mullion is so slender. Constant deci- How can I find a good siding con- tractor? The best way is through referrals.

Ask "yourself if its the same quality of work you would want on your house. Find out if the contractors prices were competitive and if he cleaned up properly after the job was finished. Is it necessary to get estimates? Because most home are major provements imexpen- ditures, its a good idea to get at least three estimates.

Aluminum windows require no repainting over the years because the color is baked on at the factory. And the variety of colors available will blend with any color scheme.
