Over 6 million old growth wood window sashes end up in our landfills every year. This madness is unnecessary because original windows can be made to be as or more energy efficient than a replacement window and usually for less money. Original windows define being “green”.
Window Restoration College is a fun and intense, three-day, hands-on learning experience. Students will learn cost-effective restoration of original, double-hung, wood windows. You will be part of a team restoring the original 150-year old windows in the historic Lamb-Munger Mansion in the Central Park National Historic District in Hannibal, Missouri.
This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 12 students. You will be working side- by-side all three days with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob is nationally recognized as one of the top experts in window restoration and has restored over 5,000 windows in his 34-year career.
This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. You will learn sash removal, safe paint & glass removal, epoxy wood repair, glazing putty application, weather stripping & sash installation. At the end of the three days you will know from beginning to end, how to completely restore a double-hung window. These units will be more energy efficient than a replacement window and competitive in cost. Each student will receive a "Certificate of Completion".
Homeowners, small contractors, preservation staff, preservation commission members, hp students and historic building owners will all benefit from this hands-on, traditional training event. All skill levels are encouraged to sign up.
