Replacing landmark windows
I need landmark windows 6 over 6’s Interested in anyone’s recent experience/recommendations for quality windows. Need advice on storms/screens/double vs.triple glazing. Perhaps I won’t need storms if I have triple glazing? Can one have landmark windows with triple glazing?

Can one have landmark windows with triple glazing?
This isn’t major experience, but a contractor I recently spoke with, who has EXTENSIVE restoration LPC, experience says that Marvin are the best windows. There is a wood window that’s wood on the inside, and aluminum clad on the outside that the you don’t have to paint, but the LPC will approve.
i wish !!!!
I purchased a top floor brownstone apartment with metal casements.
they are single pain and are leaking cold air like you wouldn’t believe.
I tried to get 2 quotes with the view to replacing them but once i purchased the tax photos (eg the 1930’s nyc gov record photos) turns out they are not original – original photos are timber sash double hung windows.
Basically most people in our building have shown reluctance to change these out (not just costs but visual asthetics).
Would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if you can ‘retrofit’ double glazing into single pain casements.
At the very least once our renovations are finished and all the paint etc is stripped off I’m going to get quotes from glaziers to come break out all the glass and retrofit thicker panes of glass with higher R ratings.
I cant believe in these days of greening etc that single panes are even legal.
