Architectural bronze windows and doors will change as they age. So the question is, What are the expectations around the change? How much change is welcome and expected over the long-term. And, how can you mitigate the change over time or do you even want to? Find out what to expect with Bronze and check out our guidelines for choosing a "living" patina finish. http://bit.ly/2yF9AlK

What a great way to finish the week! An awesome tag from our friends at Dowbuilt for one of our favourite steel projects! Designed by Olson Kundig

One of the smaller windows for this project, but absolutely stunning! Full round wood horizontal pivoting with a ‘White Dove’ factory finished frame and ‘Hollywood Black’ sash. The black finish will match the steel door units we’re also working for the home! All components are factory finished prior to attachment of hardware, weatherstrips and glass. This ensures finish protection of every nook and cranny of the units. These units will be headed for The Hamptons in a Boris Baranovich Architects, PC designed masterpiece!

Glass is such an important component of windows & doors that its wise for a bespoke window fabricator to invest in having their own in-house glass inspection and sealed unit fabrication facility. With each piece of glass being potentially a different size and shape from the one before, simply out-sourcing pre-made sealed units from a third party relinquishes too many quality inspection and control points so we prefer to have the capacity to do it ourselves. Inspection prior to factory glazing allows for optimal control over what the customer receives on site. One stop accountability, factory direct, no finger pointing. Here’s a brief look at the Glass Shop.

Steel windows and doors, a beautiful compliment to a beautiful living space! Happy Friday!
