Newly Installed Replacement Windows

Bob moves to the inside of the house to show the newly installed bay windows. He talks with Ken Henderson from Harvey Industries, a regional window company in the New England area. The windows are aluminum clad and pine inside. The glass in the window is low-e with krypton gas, which gives the window an Energy Star rating. Jack Silverio of J. Silverio & Co. Construction installed the windows. Silverio's family-owned business does residential work in the North Shore area. Henderson demonstrates how the windows can be opened into the home, allowing the front of the window to be washed from the inside. Bob notes that the new windows keep heat in and noise out.

" Okay where inside the house now in the living room we have been here before but just a few minutes ago we were on the outside talking about how we rebuilt this bay window and replaced some of the moldings Ken Henderson's here from Harvey industries which is. A regional window company here in the New England areas been around for a long time and let's talk about the features of these replacement windows. From the outside they're clad in aluminum right."

" That's correct but their aluminum clad replacement windows. In this particular application we do you have a applied. Grid on the outside as well. The other thing to note about these windows is that they are. Pine on the inside tell me about the glass and glass is actually a high performance glass -- we with Krypton glass gas excuse me. What that does give you an energy star rating. And energy star is something that everybody's trying to achieve these days just makes good economic sense to be energy star rated."

" And the over the homeowner here like the replacement window that we put in the basement so much that she. When. And got all 21 windows throughout the house replace that's correct she could not live without the restless. So Jackson Mario and his group were here installing."

" And I didn't take long."

" We've been in business at 35 years now. My father before me we it was a take over business from my dad and we do all residential work in the not sure area. Do anything from kitchens and bathrooms. And dishes remodeling decks siding. And a lot of hobbies. Replacement windows. We have a crew of six men. We -- about eight to ten towns around the -- an area."

" All right can show us how you can -- the thin well we have some release latches here that we'll just disengagement. Let the sash comes down that a falling down. And then you can see your aluminum cladding on the exterior but the key thing is that you can also wash the outside of the window yourself absolutely from inside no ladders no no. Makes up makes a big difference in the home wanted to be able to do that from the inside. The top sash the same way pretty much the releases are engaged or disengaged. The sash is pulled down. And that can just rest right on top Leo and very easy to clean at this point is where you can see your actual applied -- war simulated divided light. He just basically clean the four areas and snap it back him."

" You know the the big plus. Is not only from the energy and the energy star rating perspective but also from the comfort. Does this house is on a busy parkway and not only do they have noise from the cars and trucks but they also have dust et cetera. Which means that they have to clean the windows more often than most people but just from keeping out the draft and keeping up the noise it's a very very big improvement thanks skeptic."

Insulated Windows with Between-the-Glass Blinds

Bob is joined by Cordell Burton of Pella Windows, who shows him the enclosed, snap-in between-the-glass blinds that are being installed in the nursery. The interchangeable blinds snap-in easily between the two panes of glass. They have no cords, can be raised and lowered with a sliding button on the sash, and are free from dust and allergens. These windows are highly insulated for cold and sound as they have a fully insulated pane on the exterior and another pane on the interior. Burton shows Bob how any homeowner can install the windows, first by removing the old sash and stops, then sealing the window with Pella's self-sealing butyl tape. To prevent further heat loss, the sash-cord pocket is filled with expanding foam. We watch as the window is set in place, checked for level and plumb, shimmed, and nailed in for an easy do-it-yourself installation.
