Disposable Replacement Windows are Garbage!
Submitted by Bob Yapp on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 2:42pmI've been reading all these posts on the mutitude of so-called "Green" websites and blogs with great interest. They mostly say you should get rid of your old and historic windows in favor of disposable replacement windows. This is truly a load of crap!

Over the years I've been around and worked on many steel casement windows in Tudor Revival style homes as well as commercial buildings. They were popular from about 1910 to 1935. I've also seen many homeowners rip them out and replace them with inferior and less energy efficient windows.

Why Shouldn't I Replace My Windows?
Submitted by Bob Yapp on Fri, 11/30/2007 - 11:00pmMany people have said to me they need new windows because they fear lead paint, want better soundproofing, energy efficiency and easy cleaning.
