A Few Advantages Of Window Restoration Over Replacement:

The original windows are an important part of the character of your historic building. They define the period and the quality of your structure. With proper maintenance your original windows can be energy efficient as most energy loss is the result of poorly fitting sashes. Vintage windows are usually designed to be repaired. Replacement parts may be purchased or fabricated for many years of use and savings. Replacement vinyl windows have a relatively short life span averaging around 15 to 20 years. Wood windows can be refinished, repaired and kept for a lifetime.
