Installing Windows

Installing Windows

Goop the glass and set it; batten it down; and tack it up. That’s how it’s done, but don’t think it is easy. I chose to make my own windows because I wanted to have a comfortable, draft-free house. To achieve this all the surfaces inside the house must be warm enough not to reach dew point or create a noticeable radiant imbalance. To make that happen the windows had to be triple pane, and the cheapest triple pane window is just glass, so I ordered just glass and made my own frames for the windows that I wanted to open. The big windows have no frames. The jury is out as to whether I saved any money, but the windows do seem to be functioning.
