1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – 1. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed project replaces historic-age windows that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Proposed window replacements at main and secondary elevations alter the window patterns, materials, opening sizes, and configurations. WINDOWS - The existing single-pane windows are a weak link in the building’s thermal envelope. Even with storm windows or weather-stripping, single panes cannot match the insulation of modern glazing. - The current windows are steel and single pane. The steel is corroded and cracked in all windows. - The glazing has deteriorated completely. The exposure to weather/rain/UV radiation gradually breaks down the glazing compounds leading to cracks, shrinkage, and loss of adhesion - The existing glass are cracked all in the same general areas. 1 CRACKINGSINGLE PANECRACKINGPULLING OFF THE FRAMING RUST AND CRACKINGON STEEL AND GLASS 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – - The expansion and contraction over time has led to the steel to pull away from the brick - Traditional glazing putty, often linseed oil-based, hardens and becomes brittle over time, making it prone to cracking and falling out. - Steel windows from the 1950s are extremely difficult to repair due to limited availability of materials and skilled labor. The cost of repair is prohibitive and exceeds the cost of replacement - The existing windows are sitting directly brick to window contact, no sheathing or insulation, as well as no - Rust and corrosion – As steel frames corrode, they expand, putting pressure on the glazing and causing it to fail flashing. or detach from the glass. 2 CRACKING, DIRECT BRICK TO WINDOW PLACEMENT , LEAKAGESTEEL HAS CRACKING, NO FLASHING, DIRECT WINDOW TO BRICK APPLICATION 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – Aluminum Clad replacements The design standards documentation notes that simple measures like weather-stripping and window film are the first line of defense , and we have evaluated those. However, given the persistent energy loss and comfort issues, we are proposing to replace the single panes with insulated (double-glazed) glass units. - We also evaluated the weather stripping and film will not solve the issue of the incorrect construction application - Air leakage and thermal retention:Replacing with Sierra Pacific Wood Aluminum Clad windows will drastically reduce air leakage and heat transfer while preserving the historic frames’ appearance. Notably, the City’s guidelines even suggest retrofitting historic windows with insulated, low-E glass when …
