For decades, consumers have been led to believe that replacing their old wood windows with new vinyl, metal or clad windows will improve their home. Replacement windows have been marketed as energy efficient, and therefore environmentally friendly, and economical, by saving the homeowner money over the lifespan of the window. In reality, properly repaired wood windows can be equally energy efficient, are more environmentally friendly, are a better financial investment, and preserve one of the most important character-defining features of a historic home. Follow window experts, and LPA board members, Dennis Brown and Mike Goans as they show you how to preserve your windows.
These vides were created in collaboration with the Kansas State Historic preservation Office.
