PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwire -06/12/12)- Indow Windows, an award-winning thermal window insert manufacturer, today announced that it has closed a $1.3 million Series A investment round to fund sales, marketing, and operations as part of a national expansion. The round was led by Vision Ridge Partners, a Boulder, Colorado clean tech-focused venture capital firm, with members of the Northwest Energy Angels (NWEA) investing a total of $225,000 to close out the oversubscribed round.
"This Series A investment round will allow Indow Windows to expand into strategic markets across the United States," said Indow Windows Founder and CEO Sam Pardue. "With existing manufacturing capacity and a custom IT system that allows dealers to measure windows with precision and submit and track orders seamlessly, we are ready to drive revenue and customer growth."
"We see the Indow Windows product as having tremendous potential to address a huge market," said Reuben Munger, Managing Partner of Vision Ridge. "There are one billion single pane windows in the United States and Indow Windows offers an affordable, effective, and highly appealing solution to better insulate them. The management team has made great progress positioning the company for rapid growth."
Indow Windows has set up dealers throughout Washington and Oregon and is in the process of setting up distribution in key markets throughout the United States. The company's product, a thermal window insert, is composed of a sheet of acrylic glazing edged with a patented Compression Tube, and presses into place on the inside of a window frame without requiring the installation of an interior bracket. Once installed, customers benefit from increased comfort, reduced energy bills, and quieter spaces. The inserts cost approximately 50 to 80% less than a full window replacement, offering sizeable cost savings without sacrificing performance.
"Indow Windows impressed us with their simple solution to a large customer problem of window inefficiency," said Brian Arbogast, lead investor with Northwest Energy Angels. "Beyond a great window insert product, their proprietary ordering system, which streamlines the process for everyone, is a real competitive advantage. Above all, it's a great team focused on growing their business through excellent execution."
The funding culminates a successful year for Indow Windows, which received a Top 10 Green Building Product of the Year award from Sustainable Industries Magazine. The company also won the national Energy Efficiency Category Award and came in second place for the national grand prize at the 2011 CleanTech Open. Most recently, Indow Windows was awarded a Bronze Medal in the Edison Awards innovation competition.
About Indow WindowsHeadquartered in Portland, Oregon, Indow Windows was founded in 2010 when CEO Sam Pardue wanted to find a better way to insulate the windows in his 1906 home. The result: custom-manufactured sheets of acrylic glazing edged with a patent-pending Compression Tube. The company has won numerous sustainability, energy efficiency, consumer product and clean tech awards. For more info: http://www.indowwindows.com.

11-06-2012 12:38 http 314-966-2666 Some of my windows won't stay up and some have seal failure with moisture between the window glass. Is Window Repair an option? Hi, my name is Dennis McHugh and I'm an expert at solving problems related to home and business window and door repairs and replacement in St. Louis, Missouri. People often ask me why some of their windows won't stay up, why they have moisture between the window glass and if those types of windows can or should be repaired. Window and door replacement companies just want to sell new windows and they don't like it when I tell their best prospects what I'm about to share with you. I hope it helps you or someone you know. With so many new construction and replacement window manufacturers competing on price, some of them cut corners in one area where they shouldn't. I'm talking about the window seal that holds the two panes of window glass together and the window's hardware. The extreme weather variables in St. Louis cause the window glass to expand and contract which often causes a broken window seal. Then, through the broken seal, moisture gets pulled in between the window's glass panes. Even the inexpensive window seals and window hardware should last five years, but that doesn't always happen. If you have windows and doors that have moisture between the window glass, or won't stay up, a simple repair instead of window replacement may be all you need. Here's how it works. With the glass replacement ...

SCRANTON, Pa., June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sapia Builders recently completed the renovation of a 1954 cape style house in Old Lyme, CT, using AZEK Trim and AZEK Mouldings to take it from ordinary to spectacular. After expanding the home's footprint, Nick Sapia, owner, and his crew stripped down the home's original siding and trim and prepped it for a facelift. According to Sapia, AZEK's board profiles and mouldings are easy to replicate and the perfect replacement for wood.
"We took great pride in our use of AZEK Trim and AZEK Mouldings as sustainable products that are also durable, as well as a great complement to the fiber cement siding we chose," said Sapia. Since we live and work in this area, we appreciate AZEK's longevity and ability to satisfy customers." For the most recent colonial home renovation, Sapia Builders used 5 1/2" AZEK crown molding on all the exterior rake details. "To us, the 5 1/2" crown is the most impressive part of the trim details," said Sapia. "Not only is it used for the rake detail, but we're constantly using it to achieve what I call 'the historic dormer'. It's the perfect dimension for creating recessed panels, roof returns, and window pediments--especially when they're on the second or third floor where they're extremely difficult to get to after the fact."
Other fine detail work included:
"The results are amazingsimple, classic, and beautiful and AZEK helped us achieve it and bring this home to life," said Sapia. To check out Nick Sapia's Blog go to: http://www.sapiacorp.com/?page_id=72. For more information about AZEK Trim and AZEK Mouldings, visit http://www.azek.com.

Manchester United are continuing to chase Everton defender Leighton Baines over the summer transfer window, and the signs are looking promising for the Red Devils.
Mirror Footballis reporting that the Toffees are already looking for Baines' replacement by joining the race for talented Wolverhampton Wolves defender and Stephen Ward. Ward will play for the Republic of Ireland in Euro 2012 tonight, with a decision on his future to made after the tournament is complete.
Baines was one of the star players for Everton throughout the season, but after falling under the watchful eye of Sir Alex Ferguson, he might be a tough prospect to hang on to over the summer. Their pursuit of Ward would seem to suggest a concession to a possible departure from the Englishman.
Everton originally wanted at least 15 million for Baines, though according to Goal.com, that figure could be reduced if United offer players in return for the defender. Ji-Sung Park as well as both Fabio and Rafael da Silva have all been talked about as potential sweeteners in the deal.
The 31-year-old was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for last season.
With well-known financial problems already in existence for the Merseyside club, any substantial offer on Baines may be the final straw for manager David Moyeswho would be definitely tempted to take the money and players on offer from Old Trafford.
Speaking on a potential move to United, Baines recently stated:
The United link is flattering. There is no harm in people talking about it because it is a great club.Would it be hard to turn United down? I'm not letting my focus shift to that while I am in campI'm focused on what I'm doing at the moment.
Manchester United have been a dominant force in the transfer window so far, with Shinji Kagawa and Angelo Henriquezalready picked up by the Red Devils.
Baines would be another excellent signing, and could provide Sir Alex Ferguson with the stability and assurance in defense that was missing for United throughout the season. He would be an excellent fit at Old Trafford and could turn out to play an important role in the Red Devils' quest to win back the English Premier League next season.
