Modern Heritage: Aluminum Windows Meet Historic Design

Modern Heritage: Aluminum Windows Meet Historic Design

At Optimum Window, we live for moments like this—bringing historical landmarks back to life with just the right blend of authenticity and modern performance.

That building in the photo? It’s more than brick and mortar. It’s a preserved piece of history—reimagined with our Aluminum Metro Series, featuring custom tilt and turn windows built for both function and style.

Balancing Old World Charm with Today’s Needs

Preserving historic architecture means more than just swapping out old windows. It’s about honoring the story behind the structure, while making sure the building performs to modern expectations.

That’s exactly what our Aluminum Metro Series was designed to do.

We collaborated closely with the design team to deliver a full facade solution—one that wouldn’t compromise the building’s character. From sightlines to finishes, everything was customized to respect the past while embracing the future.

Why Tilt and Turn Windows Are a Game Changer

In buildings where access, airflow, and energy efficiency matter, tilt and turn units are a no-brainer.

These dual-function windows open inward for full ventilation or tilt from the top for a breeze without wide exposure. They’re practical, sleek, and easy to clean—especially in tall, urban buildings.
