My house dates from the 1840s and the original basement windows are four lites in a sideways row, with a rough opening of about 15 inches high and 38 inches wide. The originals, or even more so their surrounds, are more like strainers than weather-tight, so it's time to do something about them.
In replacement windows (checking with local home supply places, chains, internet, etc), I am not finding anything other than shorter-width ones around 32 inches max. Those, plus the "filler" to bridge the voids to the granite foundation, are going to look like ______ on the front of the house.
Budget, unfortunately, is a consideration.
I'd welcome treated wood or an engineered composite over vinyl- just have a low opinion of vinyl unless I could find some of good grade (but see budget, above).
Any suggested manufacturers, distributors, etc., that I should check?
Thanks!
