Where To Find Salvaged Vintage Windows

In this article, I am going to discuss where to find salvaged vintage windows.

Being into crafts and enjoying working with salvaged vintage windows, I needed a place where I find these windows when in need of a craft project. After doing some research, I came up with these seven places:

1. Garage sales.
2. Curbs.
3. Facebook garage sale pages.
4. Antique shops.
5. Glass and window replacement companies.
6. Construction sites.
7. Craigslist.

Now I can focus on which project to work on next. I do not worry about how to get material for my project.

You should not too. So here is some information I gathered on the seven places that I think can be extremely helpful to you.

1. Garage Sales

As more people are starting to look for vintage windows, they pop up on garage sales. However, from this, it is a bit costly. Be sure to bargain the price and ask for a discount when purchasing several windows.

2. Curbs

I have personally found good old windows this way. And the good thing is that it comes along free.

All you have to do is identify the day trash is picked in your area so that you can scope out the curb a day before the pick-up day for the trash.

3. Facebook Garage Sale Pages

It t is wise to post an ISO post on a Facebook garage sale page in your city. The ISO post is to notify people that you are looking for old windows.

You will be amazed at the response you are going to get. You may also get it at an affordable price if you are in luck.

4. Antique Shops

If you are the kind of person who is looking for a clean vintage window, then this is the perfect option for you. All you have to do is find yourself an antique shop that does architectural salvage for windows.

These windows are usually ready to go. You pay more for the clean condition they are in.

5. Glass and Window Replacement Companies

I came to discover that most of these companies throw away old windows.

So, if you are looking to get your vintage windows without paying for them, you may want to consider taking this option.

All you have to do is ask them about it. Most companies will be happy to give them to you.

6. Construction Sites

It is a great place to get old windows. You have to gather your courage and ask them if they can give you the windows.

For persuasion, you can tip them. Be rest assured that you will have lots of old windows to work on your project.

The good thing about this is that you get a large supply of your vintage windows at a lower price and with less effort used.

7. Craigslist

You can do a site search or look in the garden, furniture, free or garage sale to find your old windows.

You can get a great deal by buying them for a few dollars for a piece.
However, remember to extremely be cautious when being involved in a business deal on Craigslist.

Also, never go to purchase without company.

As I conclude, I would like to do a summary of what I have discussed above.
