Choosing the right replacement windows
Select windows that will work best in your climate. For example, if you live in a cool, damp climate, you will want windows that keep the warmth in and the cold out. An astonishing amount of heat can be lost through badly insulated windows. If you work with a window company or contractor, they should be able to help you choose windows for the climate in your area. One of the reasons you would want to replace your windows is energy efficiency. Leaky windows cause your home to lose heat, so it only makes sense to replace those old wooden windows with energy efficient ones. The wooden window frames have old world charm and appeal but are not very efficient. You can also add resale value by replacing your old windows with new vinyl windows.

About synthetic window shutters
High-quality synthetic window shutters, fairly new on the market, may be an attractive option. Although many synthetic products contain the word "wood" in their name, most of them contain no wood at all. Instead, they are composed of faux (false) wood. Poly shutters are manufactured from nonrenewable resources. Synthetic window shutters made from stock-size components have few or no custom options. They look like plastic and feel like plastic. If you tap them with a finger, they sound like plastic. They come in a range of light colors and cannot be stained. Although they cost less to make and therefore to buy, they are heavy and may sag after a time.

Window Shutters
Originally designed for the tropics, the Plantation shutters of the style Bermuda is the most romantic. Typically used for sun screening and moderate storm protection, one shutter panel will usually cover the entire window. It is hinged from the top and installed with a custom fit support arm to keep the shutter in an open position-perfect for capturing ocean breezes during long afternoon siestas.

How can glass be insulated and still let sunlight in and allow us to see out?
Insulated vinyl replacement windows were first comprised of thermal panes, or two or more pieces of glass sealed together to form an airtight center. They stopped most of the heat from escaping in the winter and much of the heat from entering in the summer. Next, thermal window panes were coated with an invisible film that enhanced their insulating properties. They kept even more warm air inside in the winter and more cool air inside in the summer. Most recently, the insulating properties of thermal panes have been further improved by filling the spaces between the layers of glass with special gases.
