Types of Old Windows

Old window wood frames were made in the 1800s. And metal window frames were made in the 1500s. Wood frames contain old growth wood rings, which made the wood durable and stable. You can easily restore window wood frames to last one hundred years more. Old windows were made of pieces of glass that were tightened with lead strings.

Personal Experience

If you still have old windows in your house, you may be able to restore these, and save on buying new windows. If you have bars on your windows such as I do, you may want to paint the bars. Believe it or not, but painting the bars makes the windows look almost like new. It makes a big difference.
