Original wood windows are considered to be one of the important distinguishing characteristics of historic buildings. The restoration of historic wood windows not only preserves an irreplaceable element of a building’s façade, but protects a valuable resource, is environmentally responsible, and is also cost-effective to the owner with the right approach. Properly restored wood windows can be as energy efficient as replacement windows, and have longer lifespans than their modern counterparts.
At Kronenberger & Sons Restoration, one of our core values is preserving our architectural history. Our Middletown, Connecticut window shop is devoted to the restoration of windows and doors. Our talented team of craftspeople in the shop specialize in bringing old wood windows back to life. We are fully equipped to remove lead-based paint, asbestos, and PCB containing materials in an environmentally safe manner. Our carpenters complete all the necessary woodwork repairs, including epoxy consolidation, full component replacement, glass, priming, glazing, and painting. We also reproduce any architectural millwork necessary to complete restorations. Having a shop dedicated to window and door restoration allows us to maintain every significant detail to ensure historic accuracy and proper restoration on every window and door that passes through our shop.
Our shop of dedicated craftspeople who specialize in window and door restoration ensures that every detail is met with the same attention and faithful restoration.
Storm windows can be invaluable, as they protect interior window elements from storm damage, improve insulation and soundproofing, and increase energy efficiency.
