Product of the Year!

Wooden Curtain Wall

Something else I would like to do with this blog is to start adding posts about great looking products to consider on projects.

Earlier in 2008, I went through a process of trying to find this type of product. I am wondering if this is a new website because I did not locate this at the time. I found some other contemporary wood windows that did not meet wind loads and impact resistance, as required in the New Orleans area. This states that the the depth can be eingineered to meet local requirements!
