Brent Hull discusses why original wood windows are an important part of historic home restoration, both architecturally and functionally. He explains how traditional windows are built for long-term use and can often be repaired rather than replaced. Using the restoration of Thistle Hill as an example, he walks through the process of documenting, removing, repairing, reglazing, painting, and reinstalling original window sashes. The discussion covers traditional glazing putty, linseed oil paint, wood repairs, and preserving historic details. Hull also explains how homeowners can approach window restoration as a manageable project, one window at a time.
