[ 1 ] [ 2 ] There are newer glass blocks injected with argon gas and having a layer of low-emissivity glass between the halves, which increases the insulative (U) value to 1.5 W/m 2 ·K, which is between triple glazed windows (1.8 W/m 2 ·K) and specialty ...
This porch is also topped by metal cresting. An interesting wall texture is created by brick corbelling that runs across the front, side and rear of the house creating a double-arched window on the second floor. Brick patterning outlines the peaks of each of the gables. There are also small-arched windows in the peak of each gable.
