Determine best window style
Windows are a key element in a
home’s overall design, especially
when it’s time to remodel.
Before window shopping, says the
Vinyl Window & Door Institute,
determine what style windows best
complement your home’s architec-
ture. The traditional design and
popularity of double-hung windows,
for example, make thenwwell suited
for a Colonial or Cape Cod home.
Each of the two sash in double-hung
Windows slides up or down. Double-
hung windows can be grouped
together or installed separately
Bow and bay windows are
especially popular with Colonial or
Georgian architecture. Bow win-
dows gracefully curve outward
while bays are straight in the middle
and angled at each end. Their
geometric patterns lend visual ex-
citement to the interior as well. If
they extend to the floor, they add
some useful floor space. With win-
dow .seats, there’s room for sitting or
for plants.
Casement windows go with ar-
chitectural styles ranging from con-
temporary to Tudor. They can be us-
ed in pairs or individually. Hinged at
one side, casement windows swing
out for full top-to-bottom ventilation.
They are frequently used over sinks
or countertops in kitchens.
Awning windows are popular in
ranch-style homes. Since they open
out, they are often installed below a
picture or fixed window for ventila-
tion.
Sliding windows are often chosen
for the combination of view and ven-
tilation they, provide. They come in a
range of sizes and are easily combin-
ed.
No matter what the style, shop for
vinyl-framed windows. They are
available with single, double or
triple-pane insulating glass. Addi-
tional options include tempered,
frosted and low-emissivity glass, as
well as Colonial or diamond grids.
Vinyl windows are also designed
to resist rust, warping, blistering
and peeling. An occasional wipe with
a damp cloth is about all they need to
maintain their good looks for years.

Prepare for the patio party season
by revitalizing your lawn furniture.
Chances are, previous exposure to
wind, rain, and sun has dulled your
outdoor lawn furniture. The solution
to this problem is a fresh coat of
paint which will beautify, as well as
provide a shield of protection to,
your lawn furniture.
Outdoor furniture is typically
composed of either metal,
aluminum, or wood - each of which
requires specific maintenance treat-
ment.
Metal lawn furniture is most often
marred with rust and corrosion
caused by moisture. To remedy this,
remove cracked paint with a wire
brush and use steel wool to remove
the rust and corrosion. Treat these
problem areas with an anti-
corrosive primer, such as zinc
chromate, and then coat entire sur-
face with colorful exterior enamel.
Aluminum furniture is often
characterized by unsightly pitting
when exposed to harsh environmen-
tal elements. Adhesion of the coating
and top quality appearance will be
assured by using a phosphoric acid
cleaner and sanding surface to
remove dull film. Remove all traces
of grease and dirt with turpentine
and then apply a clear, exterior,
non-yellowing acrylic or butyrate
lacquer. Incidentally, when this lac-
quer is applied to new aluminum fur-
niture, the finish will be shinier and
longer-lasting.
Iron and steel lawn furniture must
be painted for protection. Galvaniz-
ed steel will be in its best condition
when a zinc oxide type primer, such
as zinc dust, is applied. There are
other types of primers specifically
designed for galvanized steel which
also protect sufficiently. For best
results, let primer dry overnight and
then paint surface with one or two
coats of exterior metal enamel.
Wood furniture is prone to
moisture damage from above and
below. The legs and undersides are
extremely susceptible to moisture
damage from the damp ground. To
avoid this problem, first remove all
loose paint by sanding the entire sur-
face or by using a chemical paint
remover. Then, coat the entire piece
of furniture with an exterior enamel
undercoat, followed by an enamel
topcoat.
Exterior paints come in many ex-
citing shades. Why no* play exterior
decorator, and design a specific col-
or scheme for your patio that com-
pliments the rest of your home? You
will find that painting lawn furniture
beautifies as well as protects!
