Remember when you only had to know one phone number to reach anyone in your home, wife, kids, granny, the maid Lupe. And you had it memorized. Now everyone has their own numbers and I’ll bet you can’t remember a single one. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I’m considering making some of the inside acrylic inserts for my windows in my living room for this winter. The question I have is will the warming rays from the sun still penetrate the additional layer? I rely on the sun a lot in the winter as I have two large south facing windows in my living room room, and in the winter, the sun shines directly in most of the day and provides a lot of warmth. I’m concerned if I put up the inserts to keep the cold air out I might also be shutting out the radiant heat gain. I’d hate to have to put them in every afternoon and then take them out every morning but the sunshine alone can raise the living room by 15 or 20° even on a below freezing day outside. Whoever laid out this house originally must’ve really thought it through. In the afternoon, the sun pours in through a large bedroom window and warms it up.
