The craftsmen started the replacement in January 2022 - for this, three windows and a balcony door were made based on other authentic samples from this house.
"Due to the replacement of windows with metal-plastic ones, with a different type of articulation, the appearance of the house is distorted, in addition, in old houses, the air circulation system is poor, due to which the rooms where such windows are installed are poorly ventilated. The main consequences of this are fungus and mold on the walls.
The program of replacement of windows from metal-plastic to wooden ones is designed to help residents restore wooden windows in their homes with the character of membership similar to the historical windows preserved on the facade", explained Pavlo Bogajchyk, director of the LKP "Heritage Bureau" of the Department of Historical Environment Protection.
