Aluminum windows in historic buildings

Many people dream of having their own home in an old tenement house. However, having such an apartment may cause considerable costs. A happy owner often needs to make a thorough renovation, which also includes installing new windows.

Historic, wooden or metal, windows do not guarantee water and wind resistance after so many years. In addition, historic windows do not meet the current thermal insulation standards. You can try to restore historic windows. However, they will still not meet all the required standards imposed on the modern windows.

The optimal solution is to replace an antique window while maintaining its style and form. Before investing with new windows, please note that the consent of the conservator may be required. Especially if your apartment is on the list of heritage registers or is located in an area of historic value.
