Windows are an important character-defining feature of buildings. But when they suffer from neglect and lack of maintenance, they present significant challenges for rehabilitation including cost, detailing, and return on investment. When it comes to additions to historic buildings or new construction, getting the details right is critically important for achieving historic authenticity and long-term durability. The conference will examine windows made of wood, steel, and aluminum; storm windows and glass as we move further into preservation of 20th century materials. Window work, from restoration of old windows to the design and installation of new windows, generates jobs and serves as an important economic engine within the construction world.
