As Window Blinds For Tall Buildings, Vertical Blinds Endure
Vertical blinds are at home in tall buildings, apartment buildings, older homes, and designer homes. These window blinds are best for windows that are wider than tall, but they also are a good fit for windows that are very tall. Vertical blinds also can add height to a window space.
Wide windows are difficult to dress with regular roller shades because when you get beyond a certain width, about 72 inches, you need to add a seam, support, or multiple shades to cover the width and avoid sagging. By using vertical blinds on those same wide windows, any sagging problem is eliminated, and the window will have added height from the window blinds extending above the window frame. Vertical blinds on windows are drawn to one side, and if mounted outside the frame, they allow full window visibility, and allow a complete view out the entire window. They are best for window walls, allowing the opening to be used.
Tall windows can be difficult to put regular window blinds in, because of the height and amount of slats that would be rolled up or down. Much better and easier to use are the vertical blinds. These blinds can add some width to the window frame if mounted outside, and the blind vanes would be drawn to one side. Vertical blinds provide the best privacy and light control on large or tall windows also.
In tall buildings, many architectural styles use huge windows, even walls that are glass. Vertical blinds are really the only proper solution when selecting window blinds, and with their straight lines add more features to what could be plain architecture. One problem may be the length of vanes, and there can be some side buckling on extra long vanes when lightweight materials are used, like vinyl. This can be overcome by using heavier materials, and fabric coverings. For extra long situations, fabric covered vertical blinds are best because they have more give and would not buckle.
Any time you have extra wide, or extra long vertical blinds, you are dealing with more size and more weight. Motorization is an answer to those potential problems. Mechanisms work easily and they operate smoothly. All motorization and pull systems and hanging parts are hidden behind a matching top head rail valance. With non-motorized vertical blinds, the operation of opening and closing and adjustments is done with a small wand hung to one side of the head rail.
Window blinds are wonderful for controlling light. By adjusting the angle of the vanes, you can allow full daylight into the room, close it off completely, or stop somewhere in between. You can bounce the lighting off nearby walls for a little multiplication of light in the room. For privacy, many of the adjustments provide plenty of privacy, and you do not have to have the blinds totally closed. Vertical blinds work better with side opening windows, and heavier blinds are less likely to blow around in the wind.
For darkening a room, the vertical blinds are good because they allow less light in between slats, or vanes, and it does not reflect off ceilings or floor coverings. This type of blind is good for room darkening, and will help insulate a room. If you have fabric covered blinds, they are the best at insulating, and wood blinds are also very dense and provide similar insulation effects when closed.
Vertical blinds are easy to clean, and do not collect dust like horizontal blinds would catch. Used in tall buildings, they take less time to keep dust free and clean. Overall, vertical blinds are at home in tall buildings, and anywhere window size or dimensions might be an issue.

Using Glass Block Church Windows to Save Money Vs Stained Glass
Let's face it with a faltering economy church and school budgets have never been tighter, but the costs of heating and cooling churches, rectories and schools seems to be getting increasingly higher from year to year. Although the old metal or wood framed windows might look OK from a distance they are often easy to vandalize and need a lot of maintenance. To cut costs and improve your church or school's appearance consider prefabricated glass block window panels which can be mortared into the building's structure.
In this article you'll learn 4 steps for a successful glass block church or school window installation.
Step 1 - Identify where you want to use the block windows and the main benefits desired- Glass blocks can be used in church windows or in rectories and schools. Some blocks have been used in basement windows using air vents to increase security while still allowing ventilation. Upper floor windows in the schools or bathrooms can provide for increased privacy and improved energy ratings vs. old metal and wood windows. Stairwells, sidelights and transoms can also provide light and durability without the large expense of having to maintain windows in hard to reach places.
Step 2 - Determine if you want to use colored glass blocks or if you have any need thicker faced blocks for security - Not all block windows need to be made of clear glass. As a matter of fact you can add standard or custom colors or religious murals to virtually any block pattern or size and not compromise durability or the products long term performance. A church in Detroit Michigan recently added colored blocks to add color and interest to their windows without having to worry about long term maintenance costs and vandalism.
If you have stained glass windows you know they can look great, but their restoration and preservation costs are not cheap. With a unique glass fusing process religious murals can be permanently embedded into the face of the blocks. They cannot be scrapped or pealed off and can save significant energy costs vs. old stained glass windows.
If your building is in a high crime area you might want to consider thicker faced glass blocks (the face thicknesses can range from ¾" to a full 3" thick) that offer the maximum level of vandal and bullet resistance.
Step 3 - Consider the need for vents - Glass block air vents help to combine the best of both worlds - a high security window without sacrificing the need for air flow. Inside the block window panels air and exhaust fans can be used. The vent frames can be made of vinyl or thermally efficient aluminum in hopper and casement style operation. The exhaust fans are equipped with motors to get rid of musty smells and improve indoor air quality. If security is a concern there are smaller vents in 16" x 8" and 24" x 8" sizes that can be combined into the windows.
Step 4 - Look at the openings and structure. Most church and school windows are inside of block and brick openings. When installing block windows in masonry openings measure from the top of the sill to the header from each side of the window opening. For framed openings measure inside the existing window sashes.
Evaluate the condition of the top of the opening. Many metal framed windows in brick/block openings will have a metal plate at the top which carries the weight of the masonry above. If the plate is sagging it mayb need to be replaced. Consider the condition of the supporting angles or beams the windows may be attached to.
Step 5 - Determine whether any additional supports will be needed on the sides or top. Have the prefabricated block panel sections made. In most commercial window projects usually the mortar joints will be the preferred choice for both security and longevity.
Step 6 - Installing the panels- You'll want to have the panel sections made small enough so they can be handled (each block weighs about 6 pounds). Think about how high the window are off the sill and the grade of the land around the windows.
Set the windows and make sure they are plumb and level before mortaring them into place (then the mortar joints can be field grouted).
Bigger openings will often use aluminum channels at the tops and sides to allow for expansion and contraction. For these types of projects screw the channels in, put expansion foam inside the channels and then set and caulk your panels into the channels.
Step 7 - If you need help seek out a professional glass block panel builder or installer.
With these 7 steps you're ready to order your glass block church or school windows.

Installing Vinyl Replacement Windows In A Wood Frame Opening
When we left off last week, we had removed the old wood sash windows and prepared the opening for the vinyl replacement windows. Now it's time to install your new windows. You should have someone there to help you when doing the installation. First, Remove all shipping materials from the window. Now, if you are installing several different sizes, make sure you are putting the correct window in the correct opening. You need to put the window into the opening to make sure it's going to fit, then remove it and run a bead of caulk on the face of the outside blind stop where the window will rest. You don't want to caulk, only to discover the windows are too big. It's worth the extra few minutes to make sure it's going to fit. Lift the window and set the bottom in first. Then raise the top until it rests against the outside blind stops. Sometimes, when raising the top into position, the window frame will hit the top of the wood frame. You need to tap down on the top of the vinyl frame while keeping pressure towards the outside.
Once you determine that it's going to fit, remove the new window and set it aside. Run a bead of caulk on the face of the outside blind stops. White latex painters caulk works fine. Raise the window into position again. Now have your helper hold the window in position while you raise and lower the sashes, making certain that the window is square in the opening. Remember how you ordered the windows 3/16"- 1/4" shorter than the tightest measurement? This is where you use this space to adjust the frame to be the most plumb and level. Get a box of popsicle sticks and wood coffee stirrers at the grocery store. The coffee stirrers are about 1/16" thick, and the popsicle sticks are approximately twice as thick. You want to put the shims in the four corners. Then caulk the gap on both sides and along the top before installing the inside stops. I don't recommend putting any screws in the sides, but you can put one screw in the top center and one in the bottom center. You really don't have to use any screws in this kind of installation, since the shims will eliminate any side play, and the caulk on the blind stops will hold the frame in place as well. Remember, we still need to re-install the inside stops.
Before installing the inside stops, remove all the old nails and replace them with new nails. A 1"- 1 1/4" finish nail is fine. Before installing the inside stops, scrape all old caulk off the stops. Then, while your helper holds the window in place, nail your stops back on. If the window has 4 stops, install the shortest ones first. That way you can bend the longer stops into place between the two short ones. Use a nail punch to sink the head past the surface of the stop. If you have several windows to do, i suggest doing the first window to this point before going to the next. How frustrating would it be to have a helper removing the old sashes, only to discover that the windows aren't going to fit!? If the first one goes in fine, then you can send your helper ahead of you to start removing old sashes. The best way to avoid the nightmare of having a bunch of new windows that won't fit is to make sure you measure CORRECTLY. Remember, tight minus 1/4" on the width and height should be fine.
Finish the inside by caulking the area of the inside stop where it meets the casing, and the point where the stop meets the new frame. Fill the nail holes in the inside stops with caulk to hide the nail heads. Now it's time to finish the outside. A quality replacement window will either have a sloped frame to match the slope sill, or it will come with an insert that fits under the new frame to fill the gap created by the sloping wood sill. If you buy a lower grade window that doesn't come with anything to fill the gap underneath, you can buy some wood trim to fill the space, or you can get a flat vinyl trim that attaches to the face of the bottom of the new frame. The flat trim is available on my website under the "shop" tab. Once you cover the bottom gap, it's time to caulk where the outside blind stops meet the vinyl frame, and where the bottom gap filler meets the wood sill.
That's it! You're done! You can buy accessories to cover your old wood sills with a vinyl wrap extrusion. That can also be found on the website under the "shop" tab. Next week we are going to start on replacing old aluminum windows.

Blinds Between the Glass: Choices in Interior Design With Built-Ins
Windows with blinds between the glass are the latest rage in home design. They are a little bit more expensive than other replacement windows but when you add up the energy savings, savings on window treatments and time savings you are getting a true value. In doing research I have found that your options of window treatments for windows with blinds between the glass are not as limited as when the product was first developed. If you were turned off at the concept because you felt limited to mini-blinds or accordion shades then you will be excited at the following new options in replacement windows.
We will start with the basic snap in blind. You now have color choices that will let you match your interior without adding additional curtains to the windows. Shades come in many different colors so be sure to check with your manufacturer before settling on off white. You will be surprised at how accommodating the choices are. You can also custom order the windows for the decor in each of your rooms. The windows do not need to all be ordered with the same color. Another feature that many clients don't realize with the new blinds is that they are easier than ever to snap in and out. If your rooms look changes so can your blinds. The other thing I just love about these built in shades is that they create a consistent look from room to room. Even if the colors are different the basic concept is the same and to some consumer this is a huge selling point.
Another feature between the glass windows are featuring is cellular shades with different fabrics available. The nice feature about this is that even if you are adding a splash of pizzazz to your room decor the curb appeal is kept uniform by the backing that is placed on the shade. The white or cream backing provides a neutral look to the windows. If you want your home to have a uniform look from the curb these fabric cellular shades can give you that while providing a custom look to the interior. Another great feature about cellular shades is that they are able to be opened from the top or bottom. This is important especially in houses where the floor level is equal to the street. To prevent people from being able to see in your home you can have the shades open from just the top.
This is probably my favorite new product available for windows with the between the glass feature, patterned panels. These are perfect for basements and bathrooms. You still have one hundred percent of the light while keeping one hundred percent of your privacy. When looking into windows with between the glass features check out the different panel design options. I am sure there is one that you will fall in love with.
Last, but not least, are grilles. This is my least favorite option but people like the decorative appeal they provide. Some people don't realize this but you can use grilles and blinds together. This gives a dimensional look to your windows from the road without the hassle of cleaning separate squares like you would have to do if the grilles were on the outside of the window.
Hopefully you will find exactly what you are looking for in your replacement windows. Remember when shopping to do a price analysis that includes window treatment cost and I think you will agree that windows with built-ins and windows without are fairly close in cost. This is especially true once you take into consideration the cost of window treatments.
