Those are the windows that were here when we bought the house...
obviously they are replacements as this house was built 60 years ago,
before there were double pane windows.
Those are double pane wooden Andersons, however it gets so cold here
in winter that some condensation forms inside, especially on the
kitchen windows. Now Anderson makes their wooden windows clad with
vinyl, those don't need painting, I have repainted these windows but
it's too cold outside now to paint, I'll get to it once the AC is on
and the wood dries.. only the kitchen windows have the condensation
problem, from cooking... the bathroom windows have double pane
aluminum windows that are vinyl clad. I have only two windows with
the condensation problem... it costs a lot less to repaint two windows
every five years, costs a lot less than to have new windows installed.
Is there's some kind of wooden sash paint that condensation won't
affect... probably not which is why Anderson went to vinyl clad.
Repainting two window sashes takes me about an hour each coat (2
coats), takes a few minutes to apply masking tape. I've been painting
them with water based Benjamin Moore, perhaps an oil based paint would
last longer. Those windows are otherwise in excellent condition,
they'll outlast me. I'd have to give up cooking to stop the
condensation and that's not going to happen.
