Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
    • WINDOWS
    • Windows are often a prime target of rehabilitation projects.
    • In order to judge the necessity of replacing windows, a careful
    • survey should be made of the windows and their condition.
    • This survey should include a consideration of their value in
    • the overall architectural design of the building.
    • 1. Vinyl and aluminum replacement windows should not be used.
    • 2. Original windows should be reused. It will be much less expensive
    • and much better historically to retain the original windows.
    • 3. Storm windows are often considered when a homeowner wants
    • to increase the heating and cooling efficiency of a building.
    • Interior storm windows that cannot be seen from the street might
    • be a better alternative. If exterior storm windows are used, the
    • windows can be wood, or color dad metal to match the building's
    • trim. Exterior storm windows and security windows should not be
    • used if they damage or obscure the original windows and frames.
    • 4. If replacement windows are necessary, they should be the same
    • overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and
    • the same muntin style and exterior depth, width and profile.
    • False muntins or grids should not be used.
