HUD has released the fourth volume of The Rehab Guide, a planned series of nine guidebooks to inform the design and construction industry about state-of-the-art materials and innovative practices in housing rehabilitation. The Rehab Guide series focuses on building technologies, materials, components, and techniques rather than projects such as adding a new room. When the series is complete, each volume will cover a distinct element of housing rehabilitation and feature breakthrough materials, labor-saving tools, and cost-cutting practices.

The fourth volume, entitled The Rehab Guide: Windows & Doors, was developed as part of the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). It covers repair and rehabilitation of existing windows and doors as well as new technologies that increase energy savings and decrease maintenance costs. It uses drawings and photographs to supplement written descriptions of window and door rehabilitation, including glazing; window frames and replacement units; skylights; doors and frames; hardware; caulking, sealants, and weatherstripping; and shutters and awnings.
