Windows
The original windows were also painstakingly measured and replicated, including the frames, mullions and diamond-paned transoms. The team also sourced vintage-style window hardware, like sash locks and stays. (Mitchell recommends sources like Rejuvenation and House of Antique Hardware.) The original Douglas fir floors were in bad shape but were restored and repaired; boards that couldn't be salvaged were replaced with reclaimed vintage boards that had to be seamlessly laced into the surface. "You can't find the same grain and coloring in new material," Mitchell says.
The windows are Integrity by Marvin which I like a lot! The are all fiberglass with a wood interior. They come in a variety of colors with an extremely durable finish which unlike aluminum, can be painted if you want to change the look of the house. They are priced higher than the wood shop built windows we often use her in Atlanta, but they come in well below the cost of aluminum clad.
