Revitalizing a Newport Home with Replacement Double-Hung Windows

When the owners of this charming, century-old home in Newport, Pennsylvania, decided it was time to replace their aging windows, they sought a solution that would preserve the traditional look and feel of their 1900s residence. Pella's wood double-hung windows proved to be the perfect fit, offering both timeless beauty and modern performance.

To maintain the home's historic integrity, the homeowners chose Pella wood windows. These wood replacement windows feature a classic design that complements the architectural style of the early 20th century, while providing superior energy efficiency and durability.

The double-hung window design allows for easy ventilation and cleaning because both sashes move up and down and tilt in, making them a practical choice for a home of this age. The windows' intricate details and craftsmanship enhance the overall appearance of the home, both inside and out.

The home's striking orange siding is beautifully accentuated by the black windows, which are surrounded by crisp white trim. This color combination creates a stunning contrast and adds curb appeal to the property.

The black window frames provide a sleek look that complements the home's historic character, while the white trim helps to highlight the windows and tie them into the overall design scheme. The result is a refreshed exterior that pays homage to the home's past while adding modern functionality.

To further enhance the traditional look of the double-hung windows, we recommended grilles-between-the-glass. These grilles add a touch of charm and character to the windows and allow for easy maintenance.

Unlike true divided lights, grilles-between-the-glass offer the added benefit of easy cleaning. The grilles are sealed between the panes of glass, so homeowners can enjoy the aesthetic of divided lights without the hassle of cleaning multiple small panes. This feature is especially valuable in an older home, where maintenance can be a significant concern.

The homeowners have future plans to complement the windows with beautifully stained wood beams. The rich, warm tones of the stained wood will create an inviting atmosphere, while also highlighting the natural beauty of the replacement wood windows.

The combination of wood windows and stained beams will infuse the interior with a sense of warmth and character, making the home feel both comfortable and timeless. The windows allow ample natural light to flood the space, further enhancing the welcoming ambiance.

By selecting new double-hung windows for this Newport, Pennsylvania replacement project, we successfully merged historic charm with modern performance. The new windows not only preserve the traditional look of the home but also provide improved energy efficiency, durability and ease of maintenance.

This project demonstrates the importance of choosing the right replacement windows when working with a historic property. By opting for high-quality wood windows that respect the original architecture, the homeowners were able to revitalize their space while maintaining its timeless character.
