Contemporary window woodwork comprises single frame windows made of PVC, glued wood or aluminium. They are glazed with two- or three-layer panels which can possess additional properties: they are able to, e.g. protect the interior against overheating, the loss of heat or burglary. The new windows have an extremely simplified detail. They constitute thin divisions with certain measurements of frames and other construction elements, which are, as a rule, wider than similar parts in traditional double wooden windows. An uncritical application of modern windows in historical objects can lower the aesthetic merits of the historical elevation by obliterating the original, harmonious solutions. The author of the article maintains that particular instances permit the usage of modern windows in old buildings, but that such windows must be selected precisely and individually for a given object. New windows are tighter, a feature which denotes the necessity of conducting other forms of work, rendering possible a proper utilisation of the interiors. Generally speaking, control concerning the exchange of windows remains unsatisfactory. Furthermore, it is necessary to embark upon a dialogue between conservators and woodwork producers in order to obtain solutions serving the realisation of joint goals.
