Windows are
one of a home's most important elements. The proper window enhances a
property's value and offers increased energy efficiency. Because of
these factors, it isn't surprising that replacement windows are one of
the most popular home improvements. Spence offers a wealth of
information on the types and styles of windows, energy efficiency,
glazing materials, the installation of both new and replacement
windows, and skylights. Additional brief sections cover specialty areas
like greenhouses and sunrooms and show how to shield one's home from
the sun. Like other volumes in this series, Spence's title features
colorful illustrations and excellent instructions. It is a good bet for
every public library. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
