Window / Energy Upgrade

This project involved removal of all of the home's single pain windows and sliding doors and replacing them with new double pain windows and doors. The owner saw an immediate significant reduction of energy use as well as drafts and also got the excellent sound dampening benefits making life in the home much more comfortable. 

For this retrofit "new construction" windows were used due to the siding which was easily trimmed out to remove the entire original window.  In this way the windows did not have to be smaller.  The original wood interior window trim were left in place.  As the pictures illustrate, the new windows were framed in wood giving the home a more contemporary look.
