New Trends in Clad Wood Windows

Simply put windows...are what you put in the holes in your house. Think about that. Holes in your house. It seems to me that if you are going to have holes in your house, you want a very good quality window to prevent the those holes from letting the conditioned air out and the cold air in and rain from destroying the interior of your house.

all clad set

Their are three basic categories of windows:
Wood AluminumVinyl I will discuss wood windows in particular in this post and specifically clad windows as very few people wish to put unclad windows in their house due to the added maintenance of having to paint them every 3-5 years.

ALL CLAD

Wood windows are made of wood, (primarily pine) but are sold primarily with a cladding on the exterior to reduce the exterior maintenance requirements that attach to all windows (no painting). The cladding is typically Aluminum, however their are increasing options in this regard in the form of extruded and sheet noble metal claddings such as Bronze, Copper and Zinc.

The last 3 materials are generally sold only on custom windows which are very expensive and typically can only be justified on hard budgets of over $ 400 PSF. If your like me (and most others) you will not be building a home in this range.

However, there are a few copper alternatives manufactured by commodity window manufacturer's that might in fact fit into your budget. I will discuss these in greater detail in a later post. Anyway back to clad wood windows.

The best known names in this field (due to huge marketing budgets) are Anderson, Pella, Weathershield, Jeld-Wen and Marvin. They probably comprise about 65% market share between them and each of them have their own specific advantages and disadvantages. Only a careful review of the features and benefits of each window will reveal what is best for your project. A brief description of the features that I consider important when reviewing the various windows follows below:

Anderson - unique in that the wood window made by Anderson is clad with a PVC vinyl cladding. The cladding is bound to the wood substrate with an adhesive type mechanism which has shown effective, but in some extreme climates worries me that it could detach.

The window is backed by a top-notch warranty and I have anecdotal experience that the company takes its warranty obligations seriously. A good thing indeed. There was manufacturing problem with the welding of the corners of the vinyl cladding some years back on a lot of windows that made its way to Colorado. I was selling Anderson windows at that time and know that the Company spent a very healthy sum of money to find the windows with the problem and fix them before the owners knew there was a problem. It is not that usual to see this kind of pro-active attitude in any company.

The other features of the window include a proprietary glazing system that will require that you will always have to go the Anderson for replacement and a reticence by the company to put breather tubes in their glazing system (critical in high altitudes). Anderson is the largest manufacturers of windows (under one brand) in the U.S. Anderson sells their product through a dealer network composed of lumber yards, window dealers and home-improvement contractors. Anderson mow also sells a line of composite windows made from the waste wood derived from manufacturing its wood windows,

Pella - Pella manufacturers windows clad and unclad in Iowa and markets them through primarily authorized distributors although they have recently started to distribute their builder grade line through Home Depot. The Pella product is distinguished by the availability of buit-in roll-down insect screens, between-the-glass window blinds and and an exclusive distributorship for the clearest window screening material made in the United States.

Pella's clad system is roll-formed and loosely attached which can cause problems such as "oil-canning" in very hot climates and the possibility of condensation forming underneath the cladding in high-humidity locales leading to rot of the underlying sash. Otherwise Pella makes good quality window. Pella now manufactures a line of composite windows which show promise from a performance perspective.

Jeld-Wen - sells wood windows under a variety of brand names including Jeld-Wen, Pozzi, Wilmar and a few others. All of these brands were more or less regionally well-known brands and Jeld-Wen has made a weak effort to unify the brands either from a marketing perspective or from a manufacturing perspective from what I can tell. The various brands have quality reputations that you will have to judge for yourself. The Jeld-Wen moniker is a holding company for a broad range of construction products that make Jeld-Wen a very large presence in the construction products category, a great many of them in the commodity category. They are an excellent manufacturer.

Marvin - is an old line family owned firm that manufactures a broad line of wood windows and composite windows. One of the distinguishing features of the Marvin brand is that the aluminum clad version is actually an extruded aluminum sash with a Wood insert to the interior. This scenario is also a feature of the Weathershield line and the Window Technologies line in the Midwest. This method makes for a more rigid sash, and eliminates the possibility of oil-canning and reduces the chances of moisture forming under the cladding. It also places a barrier dead air space underneath the sash which should add somewhat to its performance in cold climates.

These are the (4) largest manufacturers of wood windows in the United States based on market share. The relative value of their products is affected by a range of factors that will make your choice dependent on your specific needs. There are also a great many regional manufacturers that make good quality windows that will be equally prevalent in your locale. I will discuss those in another post.

My personal selection for the highest quality wood clad window available would be Loewen Windows. Loewen is a Canadian company that is based in the far Northwest so I am not sure you will find them widely distributed in your area of the country. A few things that distinguish the design of the Loewen is that it is built out of Vertical Grained Doug Fir which is a moderately durable wood (better than pine) and is more beautiful than pine if you are staining the interior.

The window also is designed to meet the Canadian standards for Air infiltration which are the toughest in this hemisphere. The window is very well made and they are still a small enough company that customer desires and satisfaction are central to the operation of the company. I would highly recommend them.

Advantages

ALL CLAD

In general, stainless steel is not a very good conductor of heat. With your average stainless steel cookware set, your cooking time may be extended. However, the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro's aluminum core which is placed between two layers of stainless steel solves this problem. With this set, simply preheat the pans at medium heat - there is no need to use high heat for cooking.

Another benefit of this set is that the handles do not get overly hot while cooking. The handles were also ergonomically designed, making it easier to shake, flip and move the pans. No shaky handles to worry about either - they are riveted tightly to the cookware, elimating the risk for serious injury.

The Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro is dishwater safe so cleaning up is a breeze. If you prefer to wash the pots and pans by hand, you only need to use dishwashing detergent, hot water, and a good sponge. Stuck on food comes right off and stains are removed completely - leaving you with a sparkling clean, new-looking pan every time.

The lids are also interchangeable - and they can be used to cover the skillet. A unique feature is the rolled edges of the pots and pans, which prevent liquids and sauces from pouring down the sides. You can also use this cookware inside the oven because it is oven safe up to 500 degrees fahrenheit. The set t is also safe to use on induction ranges.

What's more, the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro looks perfect in your modern kitchen because of its classy, elegant brushed exterior.

What Others Say

Most consumers who have used the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro rate it at 5 stars. However, there are a few who have problems with food sticking to the pans. This seems to be an exception, not the rule. There are others who complain about the handle lids rusting or receiving cookware sets that do not have smooth finishes. Again, these are not common experiences, and perhaps those who have complained more likely got bad stock, than anything else.

Conclusion

With all the advantages that the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-piece Cookware Set offers, it is proving to be a better cookware than its non-stick counterparts. Stainless steel cookware is more durable and more versatile. Because the pans are oven safe, you can even use the pans for roasting. And you'll never have to worry about non-stick coating peeling off and getting into your food.

The Uses of a Wok Ring and Its Advantages

The Woks are efficient vessels to make delicious Southeast Asian cuisine. You can easily stir-fry in them and even deep-frying, boiling, and braising is possible. You can find them in every kitchen in China. They have bowl-shape and as a result, they transfer extremely high heat to the food evenly. In turn, the food is cooks faster and tastes amazing. Woks are made of stainless steel, cast iron, carbon steel and aluminum. Now, you even have electric woks that run on electricity. Since woks need to work on extremely high heat, you need to place a wok ring around the burner. This enables the wok to carry on cooking on extremely high flame.

Many times when people buy a new wok and they find this ring in the pack, they are surprised and confused. They have never heard of such a ring and do not know what to do with it. Actually for cooking, it is ok if you do not use this ring at all. The wok by itself cooks very well. The size of the burners determines whether a ring is useful or not and the type of stove to use. If you have a gas range, you will not even need a ring. You need the ring when electric burners are used. Let me explain the instructions you should follow for a wok ring:

ALL CLAD WOK

1. When you have bought your new wok, place it on one of the burners on your stove when the heat is off. If the wok trembles or does not stand by itself, a ring will be required. Mostly the grates of your gas burner are capable of holding the wok firmly. If they do not, then you will have to use the ring. In case of an electric burner, the coils are flat and hence you will need the ring to keep the wok.

2. The wide end of the ring should be pointing upwards.

3. Before you start cooking in your wok, place this ring on top of the burner.

4. Now, place the wok above the ring and ensure that the wok is above the burner. In case the ring is too low or too high, a replacement will be required.

5. In case you have a gas stove, a ring that has open sides is very important. If your kitchen has an electric stove then one with closed sides with air holes around it is required. In case your wok does not come with a ring required in your kitchen, you will have to acquire it.

Electric Stove: You need a ring if you intend to use a wok on an electric burner so that the wok is slightly above the coil. Electric stoves give out lots of heat. In spite of lifting the wok a little over the coil, there will be plenty of heat moving upwards in to the food.

2. Kinds: There are two types of wok rings. One ring has open sides and is made of a thick wire. The other one has small holes around it for venting and is made of enclosed metal. The first kind is perfect for gas burners whereas the latter works well with electric burners. A great compliment to a wok is a wok ring. It is especially useful when the wok does not fit onto the burners or even electric stoves.

Exterior Wall Cladding - Water Penetration

The exterior walls of buildings provide comfortable and healthy indoor environments, needed to protect us from outdoor climate change. Most serious wall problems are related to water in one way or another. Buildings need to be efficient, durable, and economical with regard to investment, operation, and maintenance costs. Increasing focus on sustainability, design, and construction have given rise to new and improved materials, technology, and energy use in buildings. Water and moisture intrusion can enter wall systems in several different ways. Water penetration and moisture intrusion have been and will continue to an issue in construction.

all clad cookware

Rainwater can enter wall systems and cladding in several different ways. It could be driven by wind, or it may enter by gravity, or by capillary action, or by surface tension, or by differential pressure movement. A very large percentage of construction related lawsuits are filed due to water intrusion issues. It is quite likely that this trend will continue. Typically, lawsuits and problems arise as a result of the ignorance of understanding water and how to manage it both in the construction trades and the design community. The lack of a skilled workforce and increasing pressures on designers for faster work for less money greatly impact the problem.

ALL CLAD

It is important to understand the physical ways moisture can penetrate a building envelope:

o Gravity - Kinetic Energy - is the movement of rainwater down the face of the envelope or cladding surface, as well as over other sloped areas, into openings (such as cracks, holes, and flashing) encountered on the way down.

o Capillary Action (suction) - is the property where water will draw itself into permeable materials through small openings (such as cracks, joints, and small holes). For instance water getting sucked into a small crack similar to sucking on a straw due to various forces of air movement.

o Surface tension is the property that causes water to cling and run on to the underside of horizontal or nearly horizontal surfaces.

o Differential Pressure Movement is when water or water vapor is driven in the direction of lower air pressure from high pressure. For example, if a building has negative air (more air being exhausted than is being forced into it, it is considered to have negative pressure).

o Vapor Movement - through Diffusion and Air Transport. Vapor and air moves from warm toward cold driven by thermal differences (air currents) as well as the amassing or concentration of absorbed liquid material. Solar heating can take rain, heat it to vapor and drive it toward the interior space of a building.

How To Determine If Water Is Damaging A Wall System?

Be alert for water damage to the surfaces and systems, although in many cases you will not be able to any damage. If the siding is deteriorating, there is a good chance that there may be some damage behind it, However, in many cases,( i.e. metal or vinyl siding and synthetic stucco) the siding looks fine while the sheathing and the structural members lying behind the siding are deteriorating.

The ability of the system to dry often determines the amount of damage done to the cladding and the structure. Wall systems with sidings with good drying potential, such as aluminum or vinyl, may be less likely to suffer damage than synthetic stucco, for example, which has poor drying potential.

When looking at the exterior surfaces of the building, look first at the cladding materials and determine if they are in good repair. Secondly, try to determine how water might get into the wall system and whether there are any areas where you might reasonably suspect concealed damage. Inspection of the building interior should be focused on vulnerable areas that were noticed outside. In some instances the moisture getting into the building envelope will show up on the interior finishes. However, damage to wall assemblies, doesn't always show up on the building interior, at least not in the early stages.

Paying attention to the drying potential of the cladding system installed. Brick veneer systems with vented rain screens have good drying potential, whereas most stucco systems do not.

Coverings and materials placed too close to grade can have a destructive outcome. The siding should be placed at least 4" to 8" above grade to protect the system and structure from moisture damage. Visual inspection should reveal seeing some of the foundation above grade and below the siding. Foundations are designed to withstand moisture in the soil. People may not like the appearance of exposed foundation, but from a functional standpoint it is necessary.

Siding materials placed too close to the roof surfaces will also keep the materials constantly wet. Siding materials should be kept a minimum of one to two inches above the roof surface.

Planters and gardens should not be built against the home or structure. A raised planter with three sides and the building acting as the fourth side is a poor arrangement. Siding materials are not designed to be in contact the earth. Having planters against the structure can have grave implications for the buildings. Raised planters close to the building should have four sides and should be set out at least two inches from the siding. This is not a common detail, but it is a lot easier on the building.

Vines and ivy growing on buildings all tend to hold moisture against the structure and trim. This also provides pest entry opportunities. In severe case, depending upon the type of vines, root systems, or attachment nodes, can damage siding or enter building, often through trim areas, providing a direct path for moisture into the building.

What Is Needed To Protect a Building from Moisture Intrusion?

Management of the forces that drive moisture to and through the building envelope. Moisture comes in four forms - solid, liquid, vapor, and absorbed. Moisture investigation is difficult because the moisture can change forms and the analyst must hunt down all clues. Water kills buildings. Think about the ways moisture can enter a building.

All Clad Cookware Sets - 5 Simple Tips For the Use, Care, and Maintenance of Your All Clad Cookware

In this article we are going to look at 5 simple tips for using your All Clad cookware sets. These tips apply to All Clad products, but can be used for any brand of cookware that you have. This information will allow you to keep and use your cookware set for a lifetime.

all clad 10 piece set

Tip 1. No matter what type of cookware you use you should always be watchful of the amount of heat that you use to cook with. With lesser cookware brands you can burn the metal it is made of especially if it is stainless steel that is 18/8 and not All Clad's pure 18/10 rolled stainless steel. With All Clad cookware sets, you watch the heat you use because you do not have to use super high heat levels to cook as All Clad has a superior heat distribution system due to the patented bonding technology utilizing either copper or aluminum or both! You can use a lower flame setting unless you are planning on boiling something. With All Clad cookware, using a low flame is the same as using a medium to medium high heat setting on a lesser brand of lesser quality.

ALL CLAD

Tip 2. Everyone has had food stick to at least one pot or pan in their lifetime have we not? Of course we have! The one sure way to avoid this is to preheat your pan and use a lower flame setting as this is the optimal key to success in having stick free stainless steel cookware. With All Clad you do not need to use higher heat levels as the heat is distributed evenly at lower levels due to the patented bonding method used.

Tip 3. Oven proofing. All of All Clad's cookware lines are oven safe, but be careful as the non-stick lines are not broiler safe although it is safe in ovens for heat up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit which is a lot better performance than lesser brands of non-stick cookware.

Tip 4. Care and cleaning of your All Clad cookware sets? Of course you should clean all of your cookware after every use, but the method of cleaning will change with each line of All Clad available. When it comes to the stainless line of course it is dishwasher safe as is the copper core line as well, but be careful with the copper core as the heat and phosphates of the dishwasher soap may cause the copper core line to discolor or tarnish and in that case you would need to polish the tarnish and discoloration off with a very mild copper polish. In order to help prevent the discoloration make sure to take the copper core line out of the dishwasher immediately after washing and dry them off completely! The other All Clad lines such as non-stick LTD and LTD2 need to be washed by hand but as always it is good to read all the paperwork that comes with your cookware before using it to make sure about washing instructions. To be sure if you don't want to have to wash your cookware by hand then before you make a purchase make sure you have purchased an All Clad line that is dishwasher safe.

Tip 5. Cleaning off stuck on food and how to remove stains on your cookware? In this case there is an old school cleanser that has been around since 1882 and it is called Bar Keepers Friend. Bar Keepers Friend is called the "can do cleanser!" Believe me, it can do! It started out as a powder in the good old days and now can be bought in a liquid form as well. It is non-abrasive and is safe to use on brass, copper, stainless steel, fiberglass, porcelain, tile, plastics, glass cook tops, formica, and marble. So, in other words it is totally safe for your All Clad cookware sets, but I would not use it on non-stick surfaces like on the LTD or LTD2 lines. For non-stick surfaces I use the soft side of the sponge and mild liquid soap, as nothing should be sticking to it as it is non-stick! I would also recommend that you not use Bar Keepers Friend on the Cop-R-Chef line except for the inside of that line. Check your products documentation. All Clad produces products that are built to last a lifetime and with proper care and maintenance you will have your cookware at least that long!

The Types of All Clad Wok Cooking Vessels

A wok is one of the most important kitchen appliances. It originally came from China and for many years, the wok manufacturers have updated it. This is why you can find different pans with different names. The all clad wok is one of the main pans available in the markets globally. These pans are many and they are made of different materials.
