This way you won t have an awkward, tight space between the roof and the balcony. A previous owner of our home put in metal windows. We don t like them and want to replace them with wood windows. The stone base and half-timbering, along with the dramatic fireplace are beautiful. Six-over six means there are six panes of glass in the upper sash and six panes in the lower sash.
Casement windows are side-hinged windows that open in or out, like a door.
The panes can be square or diamond shaped. Clear, leaded glass windows in wooden frames can look great on your house, too. Whichever window you use, make sure the glass is made up of true, divided lights. That means that each small pane is an individual piece of glass rather than simply placing a decorative grill over a large, single piece of glass. The true-divided lights will be more authentic and look better on your exquisitely detailed home.
