Our Masonry Windows: A Breath of Fresh Air
summarizeEditor's Summary
We inherited these masonry windows from the builder, and I've got to say, they're a total breath of fresh air. They're a far cry from the plastic ones we used to have - I thought wooden windows were a hassle, but these Fakro windows are a different story altogether. The insulation is top-notch, and the extra light is amazing. The only thing that's giving us some grief is the lack of a sill, but it's not a deal-breaker. We're loving the benefits of these windows, from the natural material to the thermal and sound insulation.
