A testimony to the companys ReInvented status, the entire booth is a must-see, with the Premium Series bi-fold, and lift & slide patio doors, and the Contemporary Collection corner window considered total show-stoppers.

Were thrilled to share our new products with attendees of Design & Construction Week, said Dave Koester, brand manager for Weather Shield.

People are going to be impressed when they see the latest from Weather Shield.

Premium Series Weather Shields IBS booth showcases the companys architectural product line, the Premium Series, with several custom configurations of windows, windows and transoms, patio doors and patio doors with transoms. The units highlight the many interior and exterior color, hardware and glazing options available in the Premium Series. The Premium Series products on display include:

The Contemporary Collection Weather Shields newest introduction, the Contemporary Collection, preserves outside views with its narrow-profile frames and sash, and stiles and rails that lend a sleek appearance and more exposed glass. A contemporary square glazing bead complements the narrow profiles of the units. The Contemporary Collection builds on the Premium Series, and as such is available in all the same styles, except double hung and sliding windows. The collection also includes a vanishing corner window, which has two panes that meet in the corner with only a very narrow strip of wood and strong aluminum internal support in between. The Contemporary Collection also offers similar options such as an unlimited exterior clad color palette and several choices of interior wood species, which come natural, primed, painted or prefinished. Multiple exterior anodized color options provides a stunning radiant metallic finish, and a black poly interior finish delivers a smooth and satiny look.

A burglar thought he had hit the jackpot when he found envelopes containing a total of more than 16,000 after breaking into a terraced house.

The cash had been given by friends and relatives as wedding gifts to the owners son and his bride, a judge has heard.

Brendon Dacres, 22, of Elmsdale Avenue, Foleshill, Coventry, pleaded guilty at the crown court in Leamington to the burglary.

He was jailed for 20 months consecutive to a six-month sentence he is already serving for an attempted burglary for which he was on bail at the time.

Prosecutor Lal Amarasinghe said that on October 10 the householder left his end-of-terrace home in Coundon and when he returned that afternoon the back-door key was in the lock from the inside.

He managed to get in and found that the patio doors were open and the downstairs rooms had been rummaged through.

A total of 16,670 in cash had been taken, and Mr Amarasinghe explained that the owners son had recently got married, and the money was in envelopes friends and relatives had given to the couple, who were said to be devastated.

In addition jewellery, some of it of sentimental value, worth 4,780 and two laptops with family photos on them had been stolen.

A spot of blood found outside the patio doors was subsequently identified as matching Dacres, who was later arrested at his home less than half a mile away, but none of his haul was recovered.

He denied the offence, claiming he had been at a friends home during the day and had left at around 3pm and walked straight home but later pleaded guilty.

Energy-efficient updates are a good idea any time of the year. There is, however, a more measurable and meaningful reason to go green during the colder months. You can ease the pain of the winter heating bill by making a few simple changes to your outside doors. These simple changes can enhance the energy efficiency of your entire house, keeping you warmer and saving you money all winter long.

Doors and windows are basically large holes cut in the thermal envelope of your house. Even under the best of conditions, the R-value (the measure of the thermal resistance of a material or assembly) of doors and windows is significantly less than that of the wall in which they sit. Without the proper unit or correct installation, air and heat may be leaking out, driving up your energy bill.

There are three common types of exterior door materials: wood, fiberglass and steel. Of these, wood is the most beautiful, but it is also the least energy efficient. Insulated doors have a core of foam insulation, which increases thermal resistance. Any glass within the door frame should also be insulated, meaning two panes of glass at a minimum. This is especially important if the doors are mostly glass, such as patio (sliding) or French doors.

Energy.gov explains the energy efficiency of the different doors by the R-values:

"The R-values of most steel and fiberglass-clad entry doors range from R-5 to R-6 (not including the effects of a window). For example: A 1 inch (3.81 cm) thick insulated door without a window offers more than five times the insulating value of a solid wood door of the same size.

"Glass or 'patio' doors, especially sliding glass doors, lose heat much faster than other types of doors because glass is a very poor insulator. Most modern glass doors with metal frames have a thermal break, which is a plastic insulator between the inner and outer parts of the frame that interrupts the transfer of cold to the interior of the assembly."

"Models with several layers of glass, low-emissivity coatings, and/or low-conductivity gases between the glass panes are a good investment, especially in extreme climates," according to energy.gov.

Over the long run, the additional cost of the unit is paid back many times over in energy savings.

Once you have selected an energy-efficient door unit, care must be taken to install it correctly. Proper weatherstripping is critical to keeping air from leaking. Updating the weatherstripping on an existing front door is a useful exercise, even if you are not replacing the door.

Bosque Brewing Company has skipped a soft and grand opening and jumped straight to opening the doors of its newest taproom to the public today.

Bosques director of operations Gabe Jensen said the opening of its Public House, located where Nob Hill and the University of New Mexico areas meet, has been a long time coming.

The new Public House has 12 taps and will offer rotating special releases as well as Bosques staples: Bosque Lager, Pale Ryder, Cumulus Wheat IPA, Brewers Boot Amber Ale, Scotia Scotch Ale and Driftwood Oatmeal Stout, according to Jensen.

The 3,000 square-foot space includes an impressive patio area perfect for people watching and enjoying other aesthetically pleasing views.

The patio wraps around the northeast corner of the building, Jensen said during a recent phone interview. Im sitting here looking at the mountains and UNM. There is also a lot of people-watching to do.

The Public House will offer a food menu similar to its mothership location in Albuquerques Northeast Heights, including salads, soups, sandwiches and other fare to curb appetites. The new location has not nailed down its operation hours yet, but will open everyday at 11 a.m., according to Jensen.

The addition of the new location now offers Bosque customers the best of both worlds, according to Jensen. He explained that the mothership location at 8900 San Mateo NE near Alameda, where its beer is brewed, offers a cool, tucked-away atmosphere away from the citys hustle and bustle. He said the Public House is set in the heart of where things are happening in Albuquerque and is walking distance from other breweries and bars in the Nob Hill and UNM areas.

We love being part of the community, Jensen said.
