Clip Summary

Cordell Burton is back with Bob to review the Pella Architect Series windows the Beasleys selected for their 1895 home. These two-over-one wood interior and aluminum-clad exterior windows are Energy Star rated for high efficiency and feature replica-style hardware. They are constructed of double-pane low-e glass and are argon-filled for maximum energy efficiency.

Alright, well, Nick's done a great job of installing these windows. Tell us about the features.

 Yeah, this is actually the Architect series window. It's made more like the traditional window that's in the rest of the home.

 The appearance is of an 1890s two-over-one window.

 Two-over-one pattern, with the wider lower rail, the thin check rail and as you can see here the nice spoon hardware, just like in the rest of the windows.

 Okay, and it 's wood on the inside.

 Wood on the inside and aluminum clad on the outside to give it that low maintenance.

 Exactly, and then what about the glass itself? What kind of glass is it?

This glass is a double pane insulated glass so it's actually got two panes of glass with low E, two low E coats and argon filled to give it that good energy performance.

So it's as, as energy efficient, it is Energy-Star, that's great.

That's correct.

Well, it's a beautiful window.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot. Now, if Nick, our homeowner gets here, we've got a few other things to do here in the master bath.
