Would temporarily replacing inner screens with sheets of plex-glass save heating costs?
My house has casement windows, with dual pane glass. The windows have
screens on the inside. The screen frame units can easily be removed by hand in about 5 seconds. Suppose I were to have sheets of plex-glass cut to the same size as the entire screen frame, and, for the heating season, removed the screen frame and simply slide in the plexi-sheets where the screen frames normally go. Would having the sheet of plex-glass there result in significant savings on winter energy costs, or would it not be worth the trouble? Would doing this harm the windows in any way due to heat buildup from sunlight, etc.? Thanks, JY My original melodic anti-religious alternative rock songs can be heard he http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=411213 |
