My
home is 87 years old and the 21 lead glass with rope pulley system windows have
never been repaired but instead sealed so that they cannot open. We
have storm windows however the home is still drafty.
Husband
and I decided it would be in our best interest to replace 9 of the
windows because it would be better insulation and also allow us to
have cross ventilation. I love the historic windows due to their
charm but they are cosmetic only as they do not function and they are
not insulated.

Finding
Replacement Windows
The
first thing that we did was take the measurements for the windows we
were replacing and then we shopped online to get an idea as to what
was available and the costs.

Our
online search provided us with an estimate for the costs, and we were
able to look at a variety of window brands and styles. We picked out what we liked online and then went to our local Lowe's store.
We
ended up buying Pella vinyl windows because we liked that they were
quality
made and there is a guarantee that they will reduce our heating and
air conditioning energy costs and also keep us warmer in winter and
cooler in summer.
In
comparison to the other windows that we looked at, both my husband
and I liked Pella window designs and think that they will improve our
comfort by putting a stop to drafts and will make our kitchen, dining
room and bedroom plus make our historic home look beautiful.
