There is such a brainwashing in commercials these days that everyone needs to replace old windows--drives me nuts. I'm also sad every time I see someone throwing out old windows & doors. I'm looking for the true divided light windows also--have been hunting for antique ones, but would love to hear recommendations for new ones. (last owner of our house was an idiot for throwing them away & replacing some of the moulding with Menards crap..)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968427.post-46037394453491430982007-07-31T16:45:00.000-07:002007-07-31T16:45:00.000-07:00ROTFL!

With an open bottom pane, the upper pane has either a 3 or 5 pane vertically divided light - not a common configuration. I'm getting ready to remodel the second story and bump out shed dormers on the front and back, I was starting to fear getting matching windows for the addition. The local architectural salvage place has not had any windows of a matching style for several months of looking. I got lucky and was able to find a guy that pulled his and replaced them with vinyl - his loss. He had put them up on craigslist for free. I had to drive an hour to pick them up, but it was worth it. Good luck with your search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968427.post-86093854196061033562007-05-21T10:55:00.000-07:002007-05-21T10:55:00.000-07:00http://www.versatilesash.homestead.com/Replacement...http://www.versatilesash.homestead.com/Replacement-Windows/Replacement-Windows-TOC.html<BR/><BR/>The price may be too painful once you figure in shipping from Oregon, but we used these folks for our windows and have been very happy with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968427.post-27696871898213056732007-05-21T08:59:00.000-07:002007-05-21T08:59:00.000-07:00O!

When we were looking to purchase a home, one of the things at the top of our list was "original double-hung windows". We figured that it would be easier/cheaper to repair the existing windows than to try and hunt down reasonably affordable "true divided light" windows. Luckily, we live in California where the need for double-glazing (non-simulated kind) is not entirely necessary. Wish you luck.Oblio70https://www.blogger.com/profile/16506321487030373237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968427.post-57177501556279769012007-05-21T08:28:00.000-07:002007-05-21T08:28:00.000-07:00Marvin Window is the only "Big Name" window compan...Marvin Window is the only "Big Name" window company that I have found to have true divided lights.
