We Install Beautiful, Historically Styled, and Energy-Efficient Windows in Older Homes

04apr28c3a15Windows are a part of every home.  You might not give them much thought, but with the right windows, your home can say a lot to those that are passing it on the streets. With the proper windows, you can get the older look, a more traditional, old-world look if you wanted from placing the windows in and giving it a different look.

Many Minneapolis homeowners that have an older styled home or a period home that is in a historic district think that they cannot replace their windows throughout their home because it will change the way the home looks on the outside. This is a big factor in considering window replacement.  Even if your home isn’t governed by historical district regulations, if you’ve got an older or historic-era home, you probably want to preserve its appeal, so you’re afraid new windows will drastically change that.

This is not true. With new windows throughout a historic home, you can give it the same look but provide more value to the inside of the home. This value comes from having energy-efficient windows to protect the inside from the outside. Older windows tend to be made from glass that shatters easily, can harm someone if pushed on, and may have lead paint around them. And most likely they are made of single pane glass, which means high energy bills and uncomfortable rooms, especially in the winter.  You don’t have to worry about any of this when you have newer windows installed. They are safe, they provide comfort and value, and lead is no longer an issue.

Replace the windows throughout your home, but do not replace the historic appeal. It is important to keep it updated with time, or you may find that it is not able to withstand the weather elements of Minnesota weather. Whatever the reason is for installing windows that need to have that historic look, you want to ensure that you’re covered. You want to get the most out of the windows that you choose, without making the home look too modern.
