[MassHistPres] Historical Plaques Manufacturer

Wed Mar 30 10:48:32 EDT 2016

Hi,
In Reading, we've used two manufacturers.  We use Colonial Engravers in Salem, MA for bronze plaques for awards for outstanding preservation efforts by members of the community.  We also use Markarian Sign in Wakefield, MA with dates of construction for those owning homes on our historic inventory list.
Hope that helps!
Carl Mittnight, Chairon behalf of the Reading Historical Commission

It can be optimized to allow solar gains in and retain heat for winter efficiency or to keep solar gains out for air conditioning efficiency.  A lot of replacement sash, including I understand some sold here, is of the second kind, because in much of the country, air conditioning comfort and cost is the greater issue.

Some double glaze windows are permitted on a case by case basis.  The guidelines are here...  http://www.salem.com/sites/salemma/files/uploads/guidelines.pdf.  The Commission's webpage also has some links to specific information on windows and energy efficiency/weatherization...  http://www.salem.com/historical-commission/pages/useful-links, although I don't know if any of these specifically discuss Low-e.
