Wood Windows

Eaglecrest Condominiums in Lake Oswego.
Original aluminum-framed windows have served us well for many years here in the Willamette Valley. For one thing, they don’t rot…

…or grow brittle from too much UV exposure. And no painting required. But aluminum is a conductor rather than an insulator & Oregon wrote aluminum out of the residential energy code back in the late 80’s.

The is a Loewen Wood-Clad window we installed on the 5th floor of this condo building. To learn more about Loewen Windows go here www.loewen.com

Awning windows are, in our humble opinion, one of the most practical windows ever made.

In most circumstances, you can leave them open in a mild rain & pretty much keep your interior dry.

And unlike casement windows, even a heavy sash with insulated glass will not have an adverse effect upon the hinging system over time, because of how the weight is carried.

Whereas the hinging system on Loewen’s revolving window, not only carries the weight well, they also have the added benefit of allowing…

…almost a 360 degree rotation.

For the elderly client in this condo on the 5th floor, this was of particular importance…

…because she could not stand dirty windows, if you know what we mean.
