“Last October, trades experts, window wrights and preservation educators created this collaborative todevelop standards for the repair, restoration and weatherization of historic windows. The windowreplacement industry spends millions of dollars a year to convince architects, specifiers, contractors,homeowners and developers to replace rather than restore. In the past, this has put the preservationindustry in a non-competitive position that has needlessly trashed millions of old and historic windows.”
