Replacement windows can be an excellent home improvement.

I just had the last set of original cheap aluminum single hung builder windows replaced in my home.
The seals between the panes failed years ago, the balancers were worn out and they quickly transfered hot & cold into the room.

Here is the before picture:

I chose a picture window for the opening to enhance my view of the back 40.
1" double pane with LOW-E and Argon gas. Immediate results include a cooler, cleaner room and a clear view.
I used WindowWorld to do the job.

Anyone need a bed liner for an Xtra cab Toyota T100?

I have this bedroom window that's really pretty large but it looks out to the neighbors who are fascists/republican dickwads, is there a replacement window that will block them out and still let in the sunshine?

Nice windows H2O. I personally like ones with muttons, more cozy and cottage like.

(Come on Dys, stop being so cranky, common ground is the only hope for salvation of the world. We all need windows, even if we don't see the same thing out of them.)

Mullions, GW, not muttons. And I agree, they are more homey. Sometimes the window is a single pane and the mullions are a separate grid that pops out so you can clean the window more easily. Close up, you can tell, but they add that old-time look.

You are both correct except muttons is spelled muntins.

Those things go by many names: grilles, grills, mullions, grids, muntins, grates, inserts and bars.

No matter what you call them, I can't stand them!
I prefer a clear, unobstructed view Cool

Muttons is also correct as a spelling, not that I don't do my share of malapropisms around here. I worked for an architect once and I think all the above spellings were used and accepted.

I think the all glass window works best in a modern style house, but I like the little panes in older style homes. I'm a hobbit at heart.

You are not alone, most folks prefer the look of little window pains.

I should have said muttons can also be spelled muntins :wink:

Thank you both, GW and H2O! I have learned something new, so it's a good day!

And it depends on the style of the house. I like older houses, so I like whatever you call 'ems. But in a modern home, or even an older one with a great view, a picture window can add a lot.
