We all want to be green. In downtown Savannah's Landmark Historic District, we also want to avoid new vinyl windows. As such, if you're replacing windows downtown, you do need true divided light, single pane windows. What is true divided light? It means if you have a six pane window, you need to have six panes. Not one big pane with mullions glued on the pane to give the appearance of panes. And if you're paying for those true divided light windows, which are much more, you'll definitely feel a big pain. All in the name of historical accuracy--not the greenest solution, but probably worth it in the balance of things--it would be no fun walking down Jones Street and seeing cheap vinyl windows.
