Window restoration slide presentation.


The following slide presentation shows much of the restoration process. Some steps are abbreviated or have been omitted in order to keep the presentation manageable.

A few details are outdated, but nothing essential. For instance I no longer use the paint scraper depicted, but instead I use the GelPlane ProScraper that attaches to the HEPA vacuum cleaner (see "Paint Scraper" under "Resources").

If you plan to use this presentation as a guide when you tackle your own windows, please be advised that while double-hung windows all are essentially the same, some details may be different.

When in doubt, please email (info@doublehungwindowrestoration.com) or call (206-525-5575) with your questions.

With thanks to Guy Wulfing for the original Power Point design.
