Windows & Skylights: (Building Basic Series) - Softcover

William Spence was Professor of Construction Engineering at the School of Technology and Applied Science. As well as writing articles for magazines, he has written numerous successful books including RESIDENTIAL FRAMING AND WOODWORKING BASICS. Spence has designed homes and built two of his own.

Windows are one of a home's most important elements. The proper window enhances a property's value and offers increased energy efficiency. Because of these factors, it isn't surprising that replacement windows are one of the most popular home improvements. Spence offers a wealth of information on the types and styles of windows, energy efficiency, glazing materials, the installation of both new and replacement windows, and skylights. Additional brief sections cover specialty areas like greenhouses and sunrooms and show how to shield one's home from the sun. Like other volumes in this series, Spence's title features colorful illustrations and excellent instructions. It is a good bet for every public library.
