Reviewed by:

A faithful restoration job may require going to great pains to stay true to the period, even down to the window glass. One way to accomplish that is to use salvaged materials.

These old windows can be used whole or as the sum of their parts. Using vintage window glass may take a little more effort and time, but it could be time well spent. Prices for salvaged glass are very reasonable.

Salvaged window prices start at $22, with an average price of $40 to $80 (September 2006).

Dimensions: Average window size is about 27" by 36".
