The new windows in the baby’s nursery are highly insulated for cold and sound and have health and safety features for young children. They can be installed by do-it-yourselfers.
The Beasleys selected Pella Architect Series windows for their 1895 home. The windows are Energy Star rated for high efficiency and feature replica-style hardware.
