Historic Style, Low Maintenance: Updating the Windows in a Hinsdale Home

Woodland Sales Manager: Matt Mariotti

The Project:

A Hinsdale, IL home built in the early 1900s.

The owners contacted Woodland and said they had true wood windows in their historic home that they liked the look of, but maintenance was becoming an issue. Being wood, the windows required consistent painting for upkeep.

The customer wanted to find a low-maintenance product that would protect the home, but wouldn’t rot, while keeping the same aesthetic.

What the Customer Chose:

Infinity by Marvin Fiberglass Windows in Bronze with custom-bent aluminum trim and Tru Style Front Entry Door

What’s Special:

When replacing windows in a historic home, a benefit is that new windows have double pane, insulated glass. What’s special about this project is that Woodland was able to offer an option with simulated divided light to keep the grille pattern with the windows.

With Fiberglass windows, the owners won’t have to continuously paint like they did with the wood windows, providing a low maintenance product with high energy efficiency.
