Old Window Workshop

Old Window Workshop Reasons to save:
THE ENVIRONMENT:
1. Old windows are 100% natural: Glass was blown, not melted in giant infernos and trucked long distances.

The wood is a gift to us from our original forest.
2. Landfills: Replacement windows end up in landfills. Old windows were built to be repaired--never wasted.
3. Removing lead paint correctly does no damage to the environment, but replacement glass with vinyl or aluminum frames burns tons of CO2 into the air. LOCAL ECONOMY:
1. Old windows create jobs. Their repair and m

aintenance is 95% labor, using only new paint and putty.
2. Every building has, or will have, windows that can be fixed by skilled workers. Every window can be a day's pay for local people. Windows are a vast source of jobs. QUALITY OF LIFE:
Old windows are beautiful! COMMON SENSE:
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has compiled studies that show old windows can be made as energy-efficient as new replacement windows, at a fraction of the cost.
