What’s Hot Right Now: Materials and Finishes
Thermally broken aluminum frames deliver razor-thin sightlines without the chill, often paired with wood interior cladding for tactile warmth. Powder-coated microtextures resist fingerprints and weathering. Comment with your favorite finish and why it fits your climate.
What’s Hot Right Now: Materials and Finishes
Laminated, engineered timber handles expansion and shrinkage better than solid wood, while factory finishes extend repaint cycles. Oak, ash, and accoya create sculptural frames that feel handcrafted. Considering timber? Ask a question, and let’s compare species and upkeep.
Glass as a Statement: Bigger, Smarter, Clearer
Large-format glazing with slim mullions creates quiet drama and deeper connection to landscape. Corner-to-corner glass eliminates visual breaks, expanding rooms emotionally. Would you trade wall space for view? Tell us how you balance openness and comfort.
Openings With Personality: How Doors and Windows Move
Balanced on hidden top and bottom pivots, oversized entry doors swing with theatrical ease and minimal effort. They frame arrival like a gallery. Considering one? Ask about thresholds, weather seals, and how to keep that satisfying whisper-quiet swing.
Color, Texture, and Hardware: Small Choices, Big Impact
01
Earthy Neutrals and Deep Charcoals
Sand, clay, and mushroom tones soften facades, while charcoal and ink black frames sharpen silhouettes. Dual-color frames—dark outside, warm inside—bridge architecture and interiors. Post a photo of your exterior palette, and let’s swap complementary frame ideas.
02
Quiet Hinges, Confident Handles
Concealed hinges and magnetic latches create a clean, gallery-like feel. Matte bronze, satin stainless, and knurled details add character you notice daily. What’s your handle height sweet spot? Share ergonomic wins or misses from real-life use.
03
Grids, Arches, and Steel-Look Magic
Slim muntins and steel-look profiles deliver vintage flavor with modern performance. Soft arches return in doors and transoms, lending romance to rational plans. Show us an inspiration image, and we’ll suggest grid patterns that preserve light without clutter.
Performance, Sustainability, and Climate Fit
Low-e coatings, warm-edge spacers, and triple glazing push U-values down while keeping frames slim. Airtight gaskets and proper installation prevent drafts more than insulation alone. Tell us your winter lows, and we’ll suggest a target performance range.
Performance, Sustainability, and Climate Fit
FSC-certified timber, recycled aluminum, and paint systems free of harsh solvents reduce footprint and extend service life. Think repairable, not disposable. Share your maintenance tolerance, and we’ll propose finishes that age gracefully without constant attention.
