I stopped at a local Andersen window dealer to price out vynial replacements.
In explaining to the salesman what I had, I decribed them as: double hungs with a cottage style 6 over 1 divided lites. Meaning the top sash as 6 lites and the bottom sash as 1 single lite.
He had no idea on what I was talking about!! I had to draw him a picture!!
Was I using the wrong term to describe or was he just ignorant????

If he didn't understand what 6 over 1 was, he's in the wrong line of business, or he just started yesterday.
Bob, that's what I thought too!!!
Would not make me feel comfortable about ordering from HIM!
well, when you ask the guy with the broom in his hands.... <G>

Perhaps he was confused by the combination of '6-over-1' and 'cottage-style'.
But he should not have been. One term describes number of panes per sash, the other describes unequal-height sashes.
Perhaps!!
"cottages style" = unequal sashes!!
I thought it was the other way around.
Thank you, maybe we both learned!
