construction. The company also offers a “second sliding patio door” that follows the same principle. To prevent air infiltration, the company’s window frame and patio door seals are held under constant tension, using custom made tempered stainless-steel springs that actively squeeze down on the window and sliding door. This means the window and patio door seals are flexible, constant and always working. When used in combination with existing windows, in fact, the second window and patio door seals effectively eliminate any cold outside air from leaking into the home from this source. This considerably reduces the need to crank up the heat to maintain comfort, which further increases home energy savings. In terms of reliability, such seals are guaranteed for a 50-year lifespan. Homeowners understandably do not want to “see their breath” indoors due to the cold or pay heating bills topping 4 figures this winter. Fortunately, they won’t have to if they follow a few steps to keep the heat in and the cold out this season. By doing so, they will not only increase their family’s comfort, but also significantly save on heating (and cooling) costs for years to come.
