Neil Mozer, owner of Mozer Works,Inc., will share his passion and expertise for old windows at a Preservation Cafe, Wednesday, November 14, 2018. Mr. Mozer, who has been a carpenter/builder for more than 25 years, will explain why old windows are important and just what it takes to do a professional restoration. Studies have proven that a properly sealed older window plus a good storm window is of equal energy efficiency to a new, high-end replacement window. Because old windows were made from slow-growth trees, rather than the fast-growth used in modern windows, the old windows stand up to the elements much better. “A restored 100 year old window will last another 100 years, so it’s worth the investment” according to Mozer. Also, restored old windows preserve the architectural character of the building.
If your own windows need work, you’ll want to attend this presentation before deciding whether to restore or replace.
Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room at Northeast Neighborhood Library, 330 7th Street, NE. The event is free and handicapped accessible and the public is encouraged to attend.
No need to discard it – this window can be repaired!
