Anyone have a difficult time replacing large original windows? We want to replace the front windows (hurricane proof) but do not want to break them up.
I wouldn’t recommend it. I would recommend some kind of shutter or something you could close to protect the originals.
We had our single pane fixed glass replaced by a local glass company in conjunction with our general contractors’ trim specialist. Expensive, yes, we did a few as we could afford. But preserved the style and matched the woodwork.
The three nice things about epoxy terrazzo floors is.. the weight… the resistance to cracking….and that it doesent transfer temperature as easy…cold floors.
Make sure you call a glass company that does commercial work. Many residential specialists can’t/won’t do it.
Ours had to be custom by a commercial manufacturer. Not cheap but the only good option. Also tempered.
