This is where our twenty-five years of experience become invaluable. A specialty window installation demands precise templating and carpentry skills to ensure the weather barrier remains intact around complex corners. We handle the technical challenges of your new window installation, from flashing irregular openings to ensuring proper load transfer, so you can focus solely on the beautiful result.
Your home deserves to be more than just a box. By integrating custom shapes and architectural glass, we help you elevate the perceived value and sophistication of your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are specialty-shaped windows usually fixed or operable?
Generally, most specialty windows (like arches, circles, or trapezoids) are “fixed,” meaning they do not open. They are primarily designed to let in light and capture views.
Is it difficult to find window treatments for unique shapes?
It can be more challenging than standard windows, but there are many solutions available. Many homeowners choose to leave specialty windows uncovered to maximize light, especially if they are placed high on a vaulted wall where privacy isn’t an issue.
Do odd-shaped windows lose more energy than standard rectangles?
Not if they are manufactured correctly. In the past, curved windows were difficult to insulate. However, our modern manufacturing process allows us to use the same Double Low-E glass and Argon gas fills in our specialty shapes as we do in our standard units, ensuring they are just as energy-efficient as the rest of your windows.
