Rehabilitation and New Construction 1. Vinyl and aluminum replacement windows should not be used.
3. Storm windows are often considered when a homeowner wants to increase the heating and cooling efficiency of a building. Interior storm windows that cannot be seen from the street might be a better alternative. If exterior storm windows are used, the windows can be wood, or color dad metal to match the building's trim.
4. If replacement windows are necessary, they should be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin style and exterior depth, width and profile.
