DOUBLE HUNG WOODEN FRAME WINDOWS <br />WINDOWS SHOULD BE REPAIRED IN A TIMELY <br />MANNER, AND SHOULD MATCH THE ORIGINAL IN <br />ALL ASPECTS <br />DEFINE THE "PUNCHED"' OPENINGS AND ACT AS <br />STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. <br />IJJURIJ�fi! <br />we] "An M. . .911104i "990-111AW <br />a 0 1 1re MOTIOW <br />The majority of wiindows on the upper <br />floors of commercial buildings appear <br />to be "punched" openings — <br />constructed as individual units in the <br />walls. Newer buildings have windows <br />constructed in combinations of two or <br />three. Windows must not be <br />modified!. <br />Windows were tradlitionally wood <br />framed and double hunig, meaning <br />both sashes move up and down. <br />Wood windows need to be <br />maintained and not replaced by <br />aluminum windows. <br />• Most window openings, are tall and <br />narrow. These openings must not be <br />modified to install new, smaller <br />windows. <br />• Many windows have hood molding or <br />decorative tops made of stone, brick <br />or other materials. These lintels and <br />moldings must be retained and not <br />removed. <br />® Windows, including transoms, need <br />to remain uncovered and <br />unobstructed. Removing previous <br />closures, covering and infill is to be <br />encouraged. <br />• Windows that were originally metal <br />need to remain metal. If replacement <br />is required due to the irreparable <br />condition of the original, the <br />replacement must match the original <br />in profile, dimension, configuration, <br />material, and color/finish. <br />• Powder -coated metals are <br />acceptable. Alluminum that is <br />anodized or that has a natural finish <br />is inappropriate and must not be used <br />in: new construction. However, it is <br />appropriate where historically original, <br />• Metal clad replacements must folllow <br />the original proportions and meeting <br />rail location. <br />Design, Standards for the City of Paris, Texas 57 <br />
