From Issue No. 144 | June 16, 2009

One of the most important features on a historic house are the character defining wood windows. Each design style in the 19th century celebrated a unique window design. The workshop will teach how to remove the window from its frame, how to restore the frame and sash using high tech epoxies for rotted and deteriorated sections. Learn to remove old putty, strip the window of its paint, re-install glass and re-putty. A demonstration will also be done on how to rehang window weights and pulleys.

When you are finished this workshop you will walk away understanding how important wood windows are, as well as their superiority in character and insulating qualities over thermal replacement windows.
