The brand is called vinyl craft. I called our vendor <br />already to confirm. They will be black and match the ones that are already replaced. <br />Valerie Swihart <br />Managing Broker <br />VPM & Pyramid Realty • <br />1431 Portage Avenue South Bend, IN 46616 <br />O. 574.334.8989 <br />F. 574.975.2836 <br />E: valerie@vpmpr.com <br />Website: vpmpr.com <br />Like us on facebook <br />On May 11, 2018, at 3:57 PM, Elicia Feasel <efeasel southbendin.gov> wrote: <br />The two non -approved replacement windows that are currently installed have been reported by the <br />Preservation Inspector as aluminum casements, however, the Vinyl Craft windows are vinyl; the material <br />will not match. Will they match in color? The full light pattern does not match the original 6/1 pattern. <br />The Standards and Guidelines for Chapin Park require that original windows shall be replaced with units <br />and trim resembling the original. In my opinion, the Commission will have concerns about replacement <br />of original wood windows with vinyl window replacements, especially to a brick structure. I recommend <br />investigating into replacement with wood or aluminum clad as well as the possibility of matching the <br />mullion (grid) pattern of 6/1 as exemplified on the original windows. <br />Thank you, <br />Elicia <br />1 <br />
