Conserving a property’s architecture with integrity ensures its history continues to be told.
At Open Architectural Windows and Doors, we are committed to the accurate preservation and restoration of Landmark buildings.
We developed a combination of traditional-looking windows appearance and technical Eeuropean style. Close to meeting landmark requirements, Because of their construction, simulated hung windows can actually be more energy-efficient than true double-hung windows. This is because they have more moving parts, which increases the likelihood of air leaks. The sliding sashes can allow air to enter or escape, especially if the windows are older and have not been properly maintained or weatherstripped. A hHuge difference is a sach multipoint locking system wheretherefore the sash is pressed tightly against the frame along the entire perimeter and does not just slide along the guides in the frame. This allows us to achieve the best thermal andperformance sound proofing performance. We use limiters, which ensures safety; all our windows comply with the New York code requirements.
