disappears through closed doors and windows. This means that
the windows are a great place to start when you wish to cut down
your energy bill.

Most home owners change the windows as the first step when they
want to reduce their energy consumption. About 30% of the energy
used for heating of older homes is lost through closed
windows.
That is why new and modern windows are one of the best
investments when a considerable energy saving must be made for a
manageable amount of money.
