Keep traditional proportions
On a porch-facing elevation, compare sash proportions and grille patterns with the existing architecture. Review the glass area after the replacement frame is accounted for.
Plan cleaning from inside
Ask whether the selected model has tilt-in sashes and how they are safely supported. Upper-floor access should be discussed even when interior cleaning is available.
Plan for your property
A large picture window can frame a lake-facing outlook, while adjacent casements add ventilation. Plan access on sloped lots and check exterior detailing, water management, and association requirements before work begins.
