Go Green

Environmentally conscious people are opting for restoration over replacement as a way to conserve energy, save money, eliminate waste of valuable wood resources, and reduce their carbon footprint. Window restoration proves to be an effective, environmentally friendly way to conserve resources by utilizing what has already been produced. In addition, replacement windows that contain vinyl or PVC are toxic to produce, create toxic by-products, and are not recyclable. By repairing, you rescue old windows from landfills; and once repaired, they can be maintained for the life of the building.

Chosen Wood Windows restores, rebuilds and reproduces sash, wood windows and doors. We reuse all the good wood components in the existing window.  Our philosophy is to reuse what is good and replace what is necessary. If we replace the glass with insulated glass, we reuse the distorted, wavy glass on other historical projects.
