LANDSCAPE SPECIAL SECTION P.31

Windows that protect the
inside from the outside.

Keep rain, wind and debris outside. Andersen® windows with Stormwatch®
protection stand up to Mother Nature at her most irritable. You’ll have
24/7 protection whether you’re home or not. And unlike many coastal
windows, they don’t need to be washed or waxed to keep the warranty
valid. Andersen makes coastal performance happen.

CUSTOM SIZES AVAILABLE*

Visit our showroom today to see the complete line of energy-efficient Andersen® windows and doors.

14 • AT HOME ON CAPE COD • SPRING/SUMMER 2014

When the Harveys needed a
construction loan for their home,they

turned to Cape Cod Five, as always.

E.J. and Robin have been business customers of Cape Cod Five for many
years. When they decided to build a new home in the community they love,

they knew where to turn. Their Cape Cod Five lender
explained all the options and worked with the Harveys on the best loan to

meet their needs. It all came together beautifully because, in the end,
it’s all about building relationships and that’s the Cape Cod Five difference.

U-Factor U-Factor is the measurement of a window’s heat loss, so the lower the number, the greater the window’s resistance to heat *Poor 1.0
(NFRC) flow, and the better its insulating properties. U-Factor takes into consideration both framing, glazing and spacer conductivity, ENERGY STAR: 0.30
so it is therefore a whole window rating. No matter where you live in the world, a window with a low U-Factor will save ENERGY STAR
money, as it prevents heat from traveling to cold. Thermally improved frames as well as high-performance glazing packages, MOST EFFICIENT: )0.20
using Low-E (low emissivity) glass in conjunction with argon or krypton gas have dramatically improved window U-Factor

Unfortunately, using multiple layers of Low-E glass greatly reduces visible light... similar to putting sunglasses on your home, a

CRF CRF is the window’s Condensation Resistance Factor, a measurement of its ability to prevent excessive condensation forming
(NFRC) on the interior surfaces during cold winter months. Excess condensation causes damage to sheetrock and promotes the
growth of dangerous mold on interior surfaces. This property has become an important measurement recently, as some
manufacturers have begun to use double Low-E glazing, with one Low-E coating on the exposed Surface 4 (the interior surface
of inside glass) of the insulating glass package in order to improve the U-Factor number. While this practice does lower the
U-Factor of the window, it also lowers the CRF value of the window, which results in damaging levels of condensation
occurring in the colder autumn and winter months.

Air Filtration Air Filtration number is a measurement of the cubic volume of air that passes between a window frame and the sash, (NFRC) Fail: *0.31
(NFRC/AAMA) divided by the area of the window. This is expressed as cfm/ft2. Of all the tests windows are subjected to, this is the only one (NFRC) Pass: )0.30
that is performed by both AAMA and NFRC. (AAMA) Poor: *0.31
NFRC rounds up to the nearest tenth, so the best possible rating that can be shown on NFRC labels (even if it tests as low as (AAMA) Average: 0.15-0.25
0.01) is .1 cfm/ft2. (AAMA) Superior:
AAMA reports two decimal points, so is perceived to be more accurate. Prior to NFRC thermal testing, this was the focus of the )0.14
industry. Today, since its contribution to thermal performance has been determined to be less significant as that of the glazing,
its importance has been reduced.

Structural Structural Load is the maximum pressure a window can withstand before being damaged. AAMA has established “gateway” Poor: PG R15
Load test sizes that require testing to a specific size, so that windows can be compared on a “level playing field.” Actual performance Suggested: PG R30
will vary, depending on the actual window size. For this reason, it’s important when comparing windows, to compare the Superior: PG R50
(AAMA) AAMA Structural Rating for the gateway size, as this is the only valid method of comparing windows objectively.
Poor: 2.92 psf (PG15)
Water Resistance is a measurement of a window’s ability to prevent water from breaching the interior plane of a window’s Suggested: 4.59 psf (PG30)
Water Resistance surface, while being subjected to increasing levels of air pressure. The higher the air pressure the window can endure, while Superior: 6.06 psf (PG50)

still preventing water ingress, the better the performance.

ENERGY STAR® ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency that promotes
(DOE/EPA) the use of the most energy efficient products in specific classifications. ENERGY STAR rating requirements change every few

HOME DESIGN

g l a s sBUILDINGANDREMODELINGWITH
On the Cape, many
homeowners and
businesses are building
or remodeling with stained and
decorative glass – not just as
ornaments and art, but actually
constructed within walls, doors
and other structural elements.

Christie Andresen, owner
of Taqwa Glassworks Studio in
Provincetown works with several
architects, designers and build-
ers. “We approach architectural
glass application with strong
artistic concepts based on the
‘form following function’ design
ethos,” she says. “We seek to en-
hance an area in alignment with
its intrinsic architectural design
and public use.

“A restaurant seeking
privacy between a bar area and
dining room, or between a mai-
tre d’ station and lounge can be
well served to work closely with a
glass artist who understands not
only the language of the ‘light’ of
glass - the delicate obfuscation
function the glass can serve - but
also the design techniques that

Cover

This panel by Taqwa Glassworks
Studio’s Christie Andresen was created
for a completely remodeled modern
entertainment kitchen in Truro. Jason
Clairday of Jason Clairday Designs planned
the kitchen using light-as-air components
to offset the stone countertop and glass tile
wall treatments.
His cabinet glass proposal, submitted long
before the finish details of the kitchen were
completed, was a quick sketch with specific
design concepts. Color parameters and de-
sign details were chosen by the homeowners.
Using in-house art panels as inspiration for
the final design details, the combination of
ice white glass, hand frosted glass detail and
organic wire elements combined beautifully
to create these "random aspect" panels for
this section of the kitchen cabinets.
Careful placement of "highlight" glass, along
with its opposite, black amber glass, create
rich panels which are illuminated beautifully
with puck lights within the cabinet. This cre-
ates a lighted element in the kitchen, giving
warmth to the overall design.
