Historic
homes in the Memphis area offer homeowners so many distinctive
and interesting perks that many new homes simply can’t offer nowadays. Not only do they provide a backstory about the area and period in which they were crafted,
they also allow you to use a number
of style options that can seem out of
place in a newer home. Of course when it’s time for replacement
windows, there’s a probability
you could uncover this dilemma. Many new replacement
windows don’t mesh with your home’s unique,
historic charm. So what should you look at when you encounter this situation?
- Figure
out the size of the window opening.
- Jot
down the number of panes and their configuration.
- Try to uncover
the type of material used – this is mostly wood
for historic homes, so do some research to find
out more about the period and the materials typically used in the area.
- Try to uncover the stain or paint color for
matching purposes.
- Write down
any details that appear to be
unique to that specific window so that you can mention
them when talking with the replacement windows team at
Pella Windows and Doors.
In addition
to thinking about all of these
things, do as much research as you can
on the period of the house and the houses in the area. Historical homes like those in
Memphis have their own style and characteristics that make them identifiable as being from the area. The last thing
you want to happen is to eliminate those charms when you’re getting replacement windows.
