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.
