Half Quatrefoil Transom Window Replica
Type of Home: Tudur
Year Built: 1931
The Problem
This beautiful Tudor home nestled inside ok Oklahoma City's Crestwood neighborhood is the current owner's pride for the last 30 years. The owner takes meticulous care of the yard, replaced the roof with industry-leading GAF Woodland shingle part of their designer line. However, caring for two of these windows alluded him. On the front elevation, he has two incredibly unique window transoms. Under a steep roof gable and above a set of windows set a half quatrefoil wood window on the right and left. Inside the window, the sash is a fan pattern with washboard glass running horizontally. Because of the windows' shape, protecting them from a storm has been difficult, and repairing them has been almost impossible for everyone. The owner had called several window companies; all failed to offer a reasonable solution.
The Solution
Our neighbor's solution was to call us at Old Home Rescue and set an appointment for a free consultation. Based on the consultation, we recommended a custom rebuild in our woodworking shop. We would save all the glass in our shop, pattern the old window for a new window, and recreate these to window sash with Accoya wood. Accoya wood backs their product with a 50-year warranty against rot and termites.We carefully removed the window, not only saving the glass but also the brickmould and casing trim. Each piece was numbered so that it could be patterned and replicated. In our woodshop, we rebuilt the windows as planned, sourced glass for broken parts, and finished with a new coat of Sherwin Williams paint. When reinstalled, the home was returned to its original historic beauty and ready for another 90 years!
