Looking for a way to keep the beautiful wood windows in your building or home? We update old windows to modern standards, using a variety of techniques.
Perhaps you’ll choose just one of our services, or maybe you want to mix-and-match options. Either way our work is a durable, cost-effective alternative to installing throwaway vinyl windows.
Replace old single-pane glass with new, energy-efficient insulated glass while keeping the old sashes.
Rebuild and repair old wood windows to restore their original look and operation.
Manufacture new hardwood windows to replace damaged windows while matching the original details of the old windows and meeting current energy efficiency standards.
Insulated glass has a life span of between 15 and 25 years, after which the perimeter seals fail and moisture migrates into the space between the glass. When this occurs, the only remedy is to replace the glass. Removal and replacement is an inexpensive alternative to buying a whole new window.
Draft proofing is an integral component of upgrading windows. Upgrading the weather-stripping on a window will dramatically reduce infiltration, heat loss, and will increase energy efficiency. We offer a comprehensive option of weather-stripping packages and balance systems depending on the exact needs of the windows. If the weight pockets are also insulated this can reduce energy loss by over 60%.
Most unconventional windows can be converted to the Bi-Glass System with insulated glass. Types of sash such as curved "bent glass", diamond patterned muntins, round top with cathedral muntins, and elliptical decorative sash present no problem for our conversion and upgrades. Large sizes can also usually be converted. Call and let us know your particular needs, and we can determine the best solution for your windows.
