" That we got all our window order here. And this is one of two units that we're putting in the in the back into the family room here. That is tonight's look at window that's actually two windows that have been altogether is that correct. Yes we've taken a double hung window and put a transom window below that. So the transom window. It's kind of a misnomer Norton normally a transom is over a door yes and here we've got an arranged so that -- at the bottom of the set up. But I -- going to be very nice his. We've got two of these going side by side right behind us here and then you're gonna be making a window seat there's no windows in there right so in the kids that sit there and oranges and Brando whatever they can. Yeah right out the window and it -- tempered that would vote -- or about them following rule or break in and it is tempered glass right. Now what do you call in this configuration. This would be the interior would grow gives us an -- over one look we have eight lights and glass on the top and one why the glass on the bottom OK so it's it's. Kind of a design that hearkens to building in the twenties almost had. Windows on the top that had eight. Distinct lights in -- single one below. Closet take full advantage of the view from that bottom window as well exactly what are the features of this window. One of the interesting features is that -- feature on this here. And we have something called the washed assessed that slides down from the top of the unit and really provides a wedge between the jamb. And the sash itself. As I slide those down. Those allow me with finger -- control that -- the sash into the interior of the room which allows us to watch this so you can wash the outside of the sash. You can also filled with -- that -- well we leave that bottom sash down. Return that we can actually -- itself locked in place yet won't -- and then we simply slide the wash assessed. Away so that tops actual slide and and -- little pressure Ryley he would want to talk and that'll that'll bring the at -- after the anchors great now the the application here these -- permanent right yes. And they are vinyl or is -- aluminum or wood that's a vinyl CP VC. It's been applied right onto the glass with -- the glove and what about the brain of the sash itself that is it also vinyl. The sash also has not a liquid vinyl applied to a and so did you mutineers are looming on the exterior and I noticed -- weather stripping on all sides yes he'll have weather stripping on the top weather stripping on the sides needed good talk contact through the jamb. Then through the center of the unit -- two sash come together with all the check rail. Now flat not provide nice -- now a lot of people are really taken by the idea of the true divided light we have an individual. Kind of sandwiched piece of thermal glass for each one of these that that adds a lot to the cost of the project doesn't it yes it does typically that may as much as 50% to the cost of -- window unit. Now let's that a lot. And out if there once you've leveled it. In your rough opening there's no need to. To do any caulking is there no caulking is necessary -- Came -- at the left -- first. You always go to one of the corners verse right -- deputy top or bottom of it and they're heptathlon. With a lot of I can see what's that has to go up so low level a lot of side. And now why this side over here it is who has been a lot. -- Great that's been."
