Our Work in action
When most people hear Landmark Windows, they think historic, and historic doesn’t always sound like high performance. We often get questions about whether landmark-approved windows can truly meet today’s standards.
When it comes to historic preservation, the elegance of a door lies not only in its design but also in its anatomy. From grand entryways in landmark buildings to charming brownstone doors in New York City, understanding the parts of a door can help you make more informed decisions.
Installing 350-pound, 10-foot-tall steel fire-rated ceramic glazed lot line windows is no easy feat—especially in a historic TriBeCa building with just five feet of clearance between neighboring structures. When working several stories up, over skylights and alleyways, precision is key. These projects demand careful planning, expertise, and patience to ensure both compliance and craftsmanship.
In an era where sustainability is key, restoring historic windows offers an environmentally friendly alternative to full window replacement. While modern windows may promise energy efficiency, the reality is that preserving existing windows is often the greener and more responsible choice.
New York City’s historic brownstones are treasured for their architectural beauty and timeless charm. However, as winter sets in, these classic buildings often face challenges when it comes to energy efficiency. Aging windows, drafty frames, and single-pane glass can make it difficult to keep homes warm and energy bills manageable. The good news is that preserving the character of your historic brownstone doesn’t mean sacrificing modern comfort.
Our Reade Street project turns 143 years old in August. We’re installing bespoke high performance windows in this five-story Tribeca Victorian jewel.
