Today many people are replacing their doors and windows with Green Low-E ones. Did you know that Grogan Building Supply Co. in the Heights sells remodelers (to the trade only) Low-E retrofit windows and doors for less money than Lowes - great for the price conscious remodeling client! Retrofit doors have to be a bit smaller ( 34" ) than the standard 36" doors and are hard to find. They often have to be ordered custom and take weeks to arrive. Grogan Building Supply Co. can get them in just 2 weeks and only charges a bit more for them than for standard doors. As an Interior Designer and Remodeler, I just ordered fiberglass French doors - which never rot and have the added advantage that they can be painted on both sides, for a client who is replacing very poor quality aluminum doors with these great "Green ones" and am happy to pass on this information! But is it really "Green" for everyone to replace their windows and doors? Wouldn't that add a lot of windows and doors to our landfills? What do you think?
