At a minimum, we use triple laminated lumber in our frames and sashes to provide maximum structural strength and insulating characteristics. This process of laminating our frames in this manner allows us to engineer the wood for strength and to optimize the efficient use of our wood stock, eliminating as much waste as possible. It also prevents us from having to use larger-diameter trees and still build a solid wood product.

Our joinery process is so precise that the gluing apprentice operating the joinery machine barely requires a rag to wipe away any excess water-based adhesive. We use double or triple rubber seals – two of which are fitted into routed channels instead of being attached with adhesives. All of our products use a Thermix warm spacer, providing and optimized thermal break. Our glazing is a silicone material that is water based, requiring no solvent other than water for application and clean-up.

All hardware is stainless steel, and is assembled into integrated multi-point locking systems which allow for the sash to literally compress the seals to the frame. This provides for maximum efficiency in controlling air or moisture passing between the sash and frame.
