You're probably here because...
You live in an old house or own a historic building and you love the look and character of the original windows but the energy bills, drafts and difficulty in operating your windows have become intolerable. Your window sash, sills and jamb sides might also be deteriorated. On the other hand, you may want the performance and ease of operation that contemporary replacement windows provide but are mindful of the Secretary of Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation" which recommend against changing the historic appearance of windows*.
Until now there have been no attractive alternatives...
Traditional restoration methods can't provide the performance that contemporary systems offer. And conversely, contemporary replacement windows, even wooden windows from Pella, Marvin, Anderson or Kolbe & Kolbe, don't look anything like your original windows.
Heirloom Windows have solutions that are just right for you...

*The Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation" require that where historic windows are individually significant features, or where they contribute to the character of significant facades, their distinguishing visual qualities must not be destroyed. Further, the rehabilitation guidelines recommend against changing the historic appearance of windows through the use of inappropriate designs, materials, finishes, or colors which radically change the sash, depth of reveal, and muntin configuration; the reflectivity and color of the glazing; or the appearance of the frame.http://www.nps.gov/hps/tps/standguide/rehab/rehab_windows.htm
