Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
See Guidelines- 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.
