We relatively recently purchased a MCM home and need to replace the louvered windows on the porch. They don’t function at all anymore. They appear to be structural? Anyone else replace windows like this that wrap around? What did you replace with? What challenges did you come up against? The side windows in the picture are 3 windows and a door. The opposite side is all windows. Added a couple pictures to show what the previous owners replaced the other windows with (Marvin). They are all either flat panel windows or side sliders. (We didn’t paint the brick. It has been that way for the last couple owners.)
Previous owners replaced the other windows with Marvin windows. I’m concerned that replacing with the same replacement windows in the current format (6 across the front etc) that there will be too much white and not enough window if that makes sense? But it also needs to look right with what we have. We have a bunch of windows that were replaced within the last 10 years so they are what they are which is frustrating, but such is life.
We have talked to a couple different window replacement people, but I’m not convinced they get it based on what they were telling me. The Marvin authorized dealer couldn’t do renderings. I don’t want to regret a costly decision that affects the look of our house. We are going to work with a design build contractor and want to go in with ideas as MCM homes aren’t common in our area. We know people that have used them and they do high quality work. We just want to do what works best for the house given what we already have. We also want to go in prepared for any challenges. Thanks in advance!
