Inswing Casement - Cremone Bolt & Decorative Glass

This inswing casement by Parrett Windows combine truly historical cremone bolt operating hardware along with non-adjustable butt hinges featuring decorative ball tip finials. The traditional sash profile of this unit makes it a perfect fit for historical replication projects.

The triple pane decorative glass combined the historic appearance of single pane leaded glass with the enhanced weather performance and easy cleanability of modern insulated glass. Low E coatings can also be added to this decorative glass to further the unit’s thermal performance.

Case Study: 1901 Landmark Brownstone

1901 Brownstone, Park Slope Historical District

Challenge:
Historical Windows was contracted to furnish and install 5 new windows incorporating the preservation of the existing leaded glass windows in accordance with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission requirements.

Solution:

Marvin Windows were customized to accommodate the leaded glass panels without altering the original size and configuration. Dimensions of the stiles and rails were modified to match the existing daylight opening. We collaborated with our leaded glass specialist to ensure the proper restoration of the glass.

Result:

New windows were installed incorporating the restored leaded glass with original interior woodwork preserved throughout.  All profiles were approved by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Case Study: 1910 Storefront in Tribeca Historical District

1910 Loft, Tribeca Historical District

Challenge:

Historical Windows was contracted to furnish and install 6 storefront bays in a ground floor apartment matching the design specifications and profiles provided by the building architect and approved by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.  Extensive interior work was also required. 

Solution:

We used a Parrett Windows & Doors custom storefront fabricated with South American Mahogany, as specified by the architect as well as a custom mortise assembly. We collaborated with a NYS licensed structural engineer to design an anchoring fastener schedule and worked with our ironworks specialist to install structural steel framing to support each bay.  Due to the weight of the units, special handling equipment was required to get the storefront windows in place.  The interior walls were rebuilt, insulated, sheet-rocked and painted. Since the installation of each bay would take several days, we erected temporary walls to protect the space during non-working hours. 

Result:

New interior walls were erected and the 6 bays and storefront were installed.

The Details in Curved Windows

Curved operating window units are not available from many manufacturers due to the high level of skill required to manufacture.

Parrett has extensive experience with curved operating units, and especially curved hung window units. Commonly these units are specified with curved glass, but this unique window featured flat glass that utilized vertical true - divided lite grilles that were angled to allow the glass to follow the radius of the curved hung window frame/sash. Horizontal simulated - divided - lite grille bars were also utilized.

Parrett can build curved units to a standard radius or also follow construction templates. Their hung curved windows include:

• A curve sash with an angled TDL bar configuration with flat glass.

• A sash chain and a sash limit device.

• All windows components available with curved windows including accessories like jamb extensions, subsills, and exterior casings.
