Windows For Your Historic House: Making Informed Choices (Webinar)

Whether or not your house is subject to design review by the City, there are a host of concerns most of us have--maybe even some we should have but don't--when it comes to our windows. In this presentation we will look at issues of comfort, operation, energy efficiency, safety, cost, maintenance, and appearance.

Neither repair of historic windows nor replacement with new ones is likely to ideally address all concerns. Any course of action will involve some measure of compromise. By understanding what all the your choices are and how to evaluate them, you can make these compromises wisely.
