Window Replacement
The OLCA Declaration, Article 8, prohibits alterations in the external appearance of our buildings. Replacing windows with Low-E [low emissivity; energy efficient] windows are potentially prohibited. The purpose of this form is to allow Unit Owners to request permission to replace windows with the approval of the Building and Grounds Committee and Board of Directors to ensure that the new windows are acceptable. Ultimately, B&G or Board members need to visually inspect the new windows to give approval. Generally, the VT [Visible Transmittance] values at or above 60% look clear. Any value below 50% begins to look dark and/or reflective. The best advice is to look at a window sample outdoors and hold the glass at different angles. If a supplier says they can’t show you a window sample, you are shopping at the wrong dealer. Get another dealer.
These forms are required to start the process of window replacement. Email completed forms to the Buildings & Grounds Committee Chair, the OLCA Board, or the Overlook Lakes Office. You can also drop off hard copies at the Overlook Lakes Office, located at 8601 Westlake Drive.
