City of South Bend and St. Joseph County Historic Preservation Guidelines 29 <br />Residential Standards: Windows <br />General understanding and approach <br />Windows are a primary feature defining the architectural look of a building and are themselves individually important historic pieces of a building . Original or early windows should be preserved and not replaced unless beyond repair—defined as over 50% of the original materials needing to be replaced. Features of windows that are important to the architectural look of a building include their materials, placement within the facade of a building and their overall operational design— i.e. double hung, casement, hopper or fixed. <br />Repairing, weather stripping, installing storm windows, and/or insulating around the window frame within the wall has been found to be as or more energy efficient, less expensive, and maintains the architectural look of a building while achieving energy efficiency versus window replacement. Read more about that here . If windows are not able to be rehabilitated then new windows should match the original in materials, operation, placement, and opening size . <br />Read more about window repair and replacement here . <br />What is your project? <br />Repair existing windows, sash, or jamb <br />• Original or early windows should be repaired using the same materials as original . Epoxy or similar repair consolidates are recommended . <br />Replace fewer than all the windows <br />• Original or early windows should be repaired using the same materials as original . Epoxy or similar repair consolidates are recommended . <br />• Where some but not all windows in a building are beyond repair, as defined as over 50% of the original window material requiring replacement, proposed replacements should match the existing windows that will remain in size, shape, lite division, operation and materials . <br />• When some windows need replacement on different facades, and a phased plan is proposed, replacement projects should be undertaken one entire facade at a time . The applicant should specify which facade and the planned project timeframe . <br />• Phased projects should be completed in less than three years to avoid colors that do not match over time or manufacturer’s that change <br />product lines . <br />Replace all the windows in a building <br />• Original or early windows should be repaired using the same materials as original . Epoxy or similar repair consolidates are recommended . <br />• Where windows are beyond repair, as defined as over 50% of the original window material (not <br />including glass) needing replacement, any new windows should match the original or early <br />windows in size, shape, lite division, operation and materials . <br />Windows <br /> Courtesy Old House Journal <br />Administratively Approvable <br />Repair of windows using the same materials, or a combination of original materials and epoxy as described in the “How to Repair Wood Windows” section here. <br />Administratively Approvable <br />Replacement of windows with new windows that match the original period of the building and are compatible with the original opening size.
