Vinyl Windows

If you are thinking we showed this exact same house in another project or two, you are correct. We did, among other projects, a rather custom Vinyl window installation on a certain part of the house back in 2007.

It is hard to know whether or not these single-pane putty-glazed 1 3/8 inch thick wood casement sash windows are original to the house or not, but we know that they are very old, cold and drafty.

Some of the other windows have been replaced with vinyl windows. These are among the last to be upgraded. They had been weatherstripped and they had roll-screens installed to the interior.

Nonetheless, cold air still radiated off the single-pane glass, according to our clients. We have here your stereotypical XOX assembly in the living room.

And another identical window assembly in the dining room. Both facing the street.

Our technician Brandon Todd goes about removing the nailing fins for the retrofit application into the original wood jambs.

The original sash are removed from the jamb assemblies.

And the new Huttig Brand vinyl windows are installed. Amazingly, having vinyl jambs installed into the original wood jambs has not translated into much, if any loss of what they call daylight-opening. To check out Huttig brand windows yourself, go to huttig.atriumwindows.com

Obviously, the casements were replaced with Single-Hung Windows. The BENIFITS of insulated glass and the latest weatherstripping technology, not to mention the expert installation, were reported to us by our clients as having been felt immediately.

The main living quarters were noticeably warmer as soon as we were finished installing the new windows.
