Des Moines, IA, December 4, 1999 – If it's time to replace those old drafty, rotted, paint peeling window sashes, look no further than Windsor Windows & Doors' new Win-Pac. This new, unique sash replacement kit from one of the nation's top window manufacturers is less expensive than vinyl replacement windows, and takes less time and cost to install. Step-by-step installation instructions are included inside each Win-Pac, making it the perfect "do-it-yourself" project for homeowners and remodelers.

"Home renovation is a $100 billion and growing industry. Rotting windows alone can cost up to $1500 each to replace. At Windsor, we want to help homeowners remodel in a way that's easy, attractive, and won't break the bank," says Jeff Jones, Windsor Windows & Doors Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Several special features make the Win-Pac sash replacement kit stand apart from its competitors. Instead of using clips to hold the jambliners in place, the Win-Pac has a unique, simple system of screws. This allows for easy adjustment of the jambliners, which ensures smooth operation. Win-Pac's sash stop system also plays a role in its smooth movement. The sash stops are positioned into the head jamb with special blades that stabilize the jambliner and prevent the inside sash from hitting the
head jam.

No exterior trim or siding work is required with installation, and existing interior trim and plaster stays in place, too. That's an important detail for those who want sash replacements, but don't want to alter the appearance of their homes. The Win-Pac is available in a variety of finishes, including Windsor's exclusive Legend Series Cellular PVC, which offers the look and feel of finely crafted wood, without the potential for
rotting or warping. The interior of Legend Series kits is factory pre-painted in white, but can be easily repainted to match any home décor. The same is true for wood and clad kits. They can be stained or painted to match all interiors.

"The Win-Pac is truly the best sash replacement kit available. It's definitely an option homeowners need to consider when deciding whether to replace windows. The Win-Pac is affordable, easy to install, and will convince everyone into thinking the windows are brand new," says Jones.
A high-tech QUAD weatherstrip system helps keep out air and water, and both sashes tilt for easy cleaning. The Win-Pac's built-in finger pulls at the top and bottom eliminate the need for add-on hardware and provide a cleaner look. The Win-Pac can be found at authorized Windsor Windows & Doors distributors and dealers.
