The outside appearance must be the same as the original construction, that is, similar to original Blomberg frame in size, shape and appearance. The exposed window frame must be essentially the same width, and the exterior wood trim must be replaced in the same size and in the original location adjacent to the frame.
The frame color shall be dark-walnut and the wood trim shall be painted the same as the house color. All frames on any one exposure of a unit must be of the same style and appearance. Vertical frame divisions may be replaced in the same configuration as the original windows. Or, if you wish to change the vertical frame divisions from the existing configuration:
1. For windows with an overall width of 7? (84 inches) and greater, the vertical frame divisions may be configured at quarter/half/quarter.
2. For windows with an overall width of up to 6? (72 inches), the vertical frame divisions are to be configured at half/half.
If the windows on the upper and lower floors are a matched set with one above the other, the replacement windows must also match in style and configuration.
More information is available at the office regarding configuration. Nepenthe recommends that owners discuss windows with a member of the ARC committee prior to submitting an application.
