Windows by Jeff

After a very wet rainy September and October, we have been blessed with a few weeks of spectacular weather. You have to love Oklahoma and the Indian Summer. This has allowed us to really make headway in our window backlog. This particular day found one on our crews an an older neighborhood near LaFortune Park. This house had old wood sash windows. This was the window of choice in houses built from the 40s clear into the 70s. Always single pane, usually with the divided panes, these windows give character to a house, but are far from energy efficient.

Many people who have these older wood windows fear that the newer vinyl frame windows will look too different from the original wood look, but as you can see in the following two pictures, the better quality vinyl window HAVE the look of the older wood sashes. Using the same grid pattern, the look and character of the house is not compromised.

Another important difference in our company, is that we do not disturb the interior moldings when replacing wood sash windows. By removing the windows from the outside, all the unique delicate interior trim stays in place, and we replace the exterior blind stop, which often is old, weathered, and in need of replacing anyway. There's never a better way than doing it right.
