We offer wood and aluminum window options that can meet historic requirements while providing the performance expected from a modern replacement window. From historic homes and rowhouses to apartment buildings and commercial properties, our team can help identify window configurations, materials, profiles, and details that complement the existing architecture and meet the specific needs of the property.

Window Options for Historic Properties

Historic properties can require window replacements that closely match the appearance, proportions, and details of the original windows. Supreme Window offers both wood and aluminum options for historic window projects, with configurations available for different building types and architectural requirements.

Wood Historic Windows
Wood window options include sash replacement kits with insulated glass, tilt-in sash, and brick mold options that can help maintain the traditional appearance of an existing window opening. These systems can be used where the look and profile of wood are important to the property.
Aluminum Historic Windows
For multifamily and commercial properties, aluminum windows can provide another option. Available features include applied exterior grids and extruded brick molds that can help replicate architectural details while meeting the needs of larger replacement projects.

      Historic Windows That Meet Preservation Requirements

      Historic window replacement often involves details that go beyond choosing a standard replacement window. The new windows may need to closely reflect the design of the existing building while meeting specific project requirements.

      Details That Can Matter on Historic Properties

      Depending on the property, historic window requirements may address:

      • Window dimensions and proportions
      • Sash and frame profiles
      • Grid patterns and configurations
      • Exterior trim and brick mold details
      • Window materials and finishes
      • Overall appearance from the building exterior
      windows for new homes
