Historical Windows of New York is hard at work bringing this Perry Street building’s fenestration into the 21st century with custom, high-performance thermally broken double pane steel windows and doors.
The Apthorp is one of our favorite buildings to work in. We’re nearing our 500th window replacement in this magnificent landmark building. Most recently, we installed custom rectangular and arched mahogany double-hung windows from Parrett Windows & Doors in a penthouse apartment. The high performance windows are operated with brass weight and chains and are trickle vented.
We installed 113 high performance window, door, and storefront units into this TriBeCa East landmark beauty, giving it a new lease on life.
Fifty-five years ago, New York City Mayor Wagner signed the Landmarks Law, creating the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). LPC’s mission is to protect NYC’s architecturally, historically, and culturally significant buildings.
When it comes to passive houses, you can’t be passive about your choice in windows. Every choice is a careful balance of performance and aesthetics.
