“One of the biggest potential areas of heat loss or gain in a house is the windows,” says Christopher Burk. “You’re really talking about holes in your home filled with glass. It makes the most sense to fill those holes with windows that will benefit you and your family over many years. The new Simonton ProFinish® Brickmould 600 windows can help lower energy bills while giving a stylish look to the home.”
