Cooper Historical Windows built Thermopane Insulated Glass (IG) units with historically accurate glass that is manufactured in-house, matching the existing original glass. For the interior glass, a specific high-performance Low-E glass to reflect the heat into the interior space with good light transmittance was used. This was completed 350+ times for every sash in both buildings.
The window sash are built out of Accoya wood and were finished using a 3 part water based paint system. The frames were abated of lead paint and new perimeter backer rod and joint sealants were installed, followed by brick molds. The entire frame received the same paint and finish as the sash. Sash were installed into frames to operate as originally designed.
