FACING WINDOW CHANGES THE CHARACTER OF <br />THE HOUSE <br />CHANGES THE ORIGINAL DESIGN: ITS <br />INSTALLATION SHOULD BE REVERSIBLE <br />ALUMINUM WINDOWS AND SCREENS <br />ELIMINATE THE SHADOWS AND DETAILS OF A <br />TRADITIONAL WOOD WINDOW <br />If windows are missing or if frames <br />are deteriorated beyond repair, <br />replace them with, a window of the <br />same dimension, material, and <br />profile, as the original. Changing the <br />proportions and meeting rail is not <br />acceptable and alters the style of the <br />house. <br />Windows were traditionally wood <br />framed and double hung, meaning <br />both sashes move up and down. <br />Aluminum windows are not <br />considered a replacement option and <br />have not been proven to be more <br />energy-efficient than a well- <br />maintained wood window. <br />Installation of aluminum or aluminum <br />clad windows is prohibited. <br />Mill finish aluminum is never an <br />option and must be avoided even in <br />the installation of window screens <br />and storm windows. Avoid the use of <br />screen fabric that is bright aluminum. <br />Factory painted or powder coated <br />storm and screen windows with a <br />meeting rail that matches the window <br />are acceptable. <br />0 Windows that were originally metal, <br />as in the case of some casement <br />windows, need to remain metal., If <br />replacement is required due to the <br />irreparable condition of the original, <br />the replacement needs to match the <br />original in profile, dimension, <br />configuration, material, and <br />color/finish. <br />Imitation dividers or "snap, -in" muntinis ti <br />do not truly divide and hold pieces of <br />glass and must be avoided. They do <br />not have the same proportions and <br />shadow lines. <br />Design Standards for the City of Paris, Texasl 13 <br />
