Window (Brand, Material, and Type) and Window Trim?

13 years ago

I love the look of the windows in this remodel - the simple, low profile of both the windows and trim is what we are looking for to update the windows in our mid-century home. Can you tell me what brand of windows and the type (fiberglass, vinyl, painted wood)? What are the details of the window trim as well? Thank you!

This is a dark bronze, anodized aluminum, commercial storefront window system. Kawneer might be the manufacturer, but there are several that can create this profile, which is 1.5" wide, and 4" thick with a thermal break. The glazing is Cardinal 366 LOWe. The trim is 1x2 nominal finger jointed pine, custom cut and installed onsite. The house mixed this commercial storefront with a manufactured aluminum window when we needed operable sashes. Those windows were manufactured by Gerkin/Rhino. Again, dark bronze anodized frames, thermally broke, etc.

Thanks so much for the feedback. We live in Portland, OR, and unfortunately everyone tells us aluminum windows won't work here. We love the look, however!
