New Green Windows Save Money For Businesses and Homeowners  an article from Industrial News Construction & Building Magazine, March 8, 2008 

 

 

Original architecture does more than just look good. Nothing will ever fit or function as well as the original windows in your home.

After all, those windows were custom crafted to fit that space. In the Heritage Hill home above, our homeowner shared Midtown Craftsmen's belief that retaining the architectural integrity of the arched windows was imperative. Midtown Craftsmen crafted an attractive interior storm window solution, creating an energy seal that limits hot and cool air transfer (the primary cause of high energy bills).

Another choice for homeowners and commercial building owners and developers is our Mon-Ray storm window and door line. The Mon-Ray Company and product lines are recognized leaders in energy-efficiency and sound abatement. Storm windows, (also called secondary glazing window systems) are a preferred product for many historic renovation and adaptive re-use commercial and residential building projects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Original windows fitted with good storm windows often beat out replacement windows.

Homeowner Considerations:

  • High cost of replacing original windows with high quality custom wood windows.
  • There are many inferior vinyl replacement windows on the market today and lots of broken sales promises.
  • Vinyl replacement windows can detract from the beauty of the architecture in many homes, including historic homes.
