Clip Summary
Bob looks at the order and placement of the windows on the facade of the modern Colonial. Upon closer inspection, the classically inspired fenestration, size, type, and placement of the windows, differs slightly from floor to floor.On the first floor, the windows are larger than the on the second floor, allowing more light into the living spaces of the home. The windows are from Andersen's 400 Series with energy-efficient low-E glass. They have solid wood frames with a low-maintenance Perma-Shield clad exterior for resistance to rust, pitting, and corrosion. This makes them especially well-suited to coastal environments. The interior surfaces are available prefinished in white or unfinished pine.
Bob Ryley and Kevin Parquette install what is technically a triple-hung window in the great room on the front facade. Ryley applies a bead of vinyl caulk to all three sides but not the bottom of the window. The rough opening has house wrap and felt paper around it affording a double moisture barrier against driving rain.
