Preservation Brief 9, The Repair of Historic Wooden Windows
Author(s): John H. Myers
Year: 2004
Summary
This is number nine of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the repair of historic wooden windows.
This Brief is based on the issues of significance and repair which are implicit in the standards, but the primary emphasis is on the technical issues of planning for the repair of windows including evaluation of their physical condition, techniques of repair, and design considerations when replacement is necessary.
Much of the technical section presents repair techniques as an instructional guide for the do-it-yourselfer. The information will be useful, however, for the architect, contractor, or developer on large-scale projects. It presents a methodology for approaching the evaluation and repair of existing windows, and considerations for replacement, from which the professional can develop alternatives and specify appropriate materials and procedures.
