Prevent More Heat from Escaping in Winter - Seal Exhaust Vents


posted by Sound Marketing for House Smart Home Improvements

EXHAUST VENTS ALLOW HEAT TO ESCAPE
Exterior vents, such as those for a clothes dryer or a whole-house fan, allow heated air to escape to the outdoors, while letting cold outside air in.

HOW TO SEAL EXHAUST VENTS:
Invest about $20 dollars in a dryer vent seal, which consists of an elbow pipe topped with a plastic cap and shuttle. When the dryer is in use, the floating shuttle beneath the hood rises to let warm air, lint, and moisture escape. When not in use, the shuttle drops down to seal the hole and prevent drafts.

 WHOLE HOUSE FAN INSULATION:

For a whole-house fan, construct a simple box-shaped cover out of rigid foam insulation (use foil-type duct tape for the seams) to enclose the fan during cold months, when it's not in use. From inside the house, fit the cover over the fan, and secure it to the frame with adhesive-backed Velcro strips.
Just remember to remove the cover before you switch on the fan come spring. This kind of DIY cover can also help insulate in-wall or window air-conditioning units that are left in year-round.



THE PAYOFF:

Vent sealing can prevent 4 percent of your home's heated air from escaping.

Why Vinyl House Windows? Vancouver BC


posted by Sound Marketing for House Smart Home Improvements

Why Vinyl House Windows?


There are numerous advantages to vinyl windows, whether in a new home or as replacements in older homes. They are a popular and economical alternative to aluminum, wood, and fiberglass, because they are energy efficient, easy to install, and effortless to maintain.

Superb Insulation Qualities

One of the well-known advantages of windows made with vinyl is their superb degree of insulation. When compared with aluminum window frames, vinyl keeps in heat during winter but seals your rooms from heat during summer. Vinyl windows are made from a plastic called polyvinyl chloride, better known as PVC. This material has a high R-value, which is a numerical way of assessing the amount of insulation a material provides.

Reduced Energy Costs

An advantageous side effect of quality insulation is reduced energy 
costs through heaters, air conditioners, and fans. Even if you spend money to replace your existing windows with vinyl, you can likely make up this cost in energy bills in a few years. When paired with double-paned glass, the costs could be significant. The windows are even recyclable for those who are concerned about the environmental impact of construction waste.
Breadth of selection and ease of installation constitute other advantages of vinyl windows. PVC can be molded and colored to any style for a personalized look, but windows also come in designs that appeal to many people. They are inexpensive to manufacture and install, since they fit into the existing spaces for your windows without changing your walls.

Planet-Panels-Energy-Efficient-WindowsSome vinyl window designs include shiny, matte, or faux wood-grain finishes. You can choose how many panes your windows have, how they open, the width of the sill or trim, and their locking mechanism. For people with particular tastes, vinyl windows offer the advantages of customized requests.

 House Smart Home Improvements offers casement windows, double hung, awning, bay and bow, tilt and slide, and more.









Durability and Longevity


Amazingly, vinyl windows require practically no maintenance once installed. Their durable surfaces are already stained, finished, and sealed, so you never need to sand, paint, or touch them up. They resist dirt, stains, mold, scratches, and dents. The exterior casing won't fade or wear under ultraviolet sunlight. This means these windows will last far longer than aluminum or wood
