[MassHistPres] Fwd: a question on historic windows

[heartwood restoration]

my condolences to this gentleman and others in massachusetts who would choose to have single thickness true divided vertical grain eastern white pine (locally logged and milled) mortise and tenon sash and storm windows made by a local craftsperson that can last in perpetuity and instead must purchase an insulated glass unit that may (or may not) last 20-30 years...the primary single thickness sash with a storm window will offer the same or better R value...

www.architecturalcomponentsinc.com does make a good quality double glass window...

hope that helps...

    Nancy;

    A man named Brian Beale called me.
    He is trying to build a new house in WT in the manner of a historic house, (Not in the District)
    He says the new building energy codes will not allow him to use true divided lights.

    He was wondering if we knew any appropriate windows that could work.
    As I knew that you had done so much research on windows,
    I gave him your name and home number.

    Let me know if he calls.

    Yours, Sean
