A charming two-story home, crowned with an attic in New York, designed to evoke the rustic elegance of early 20th-century estates. The homeowners had a clear vision: to recreate a timeless manor, reminiscent of bygone eras, making every window and door would be adorned with divided-lites, and arch-shaped designs would elegantly match the facades.
This was no ordinary project. The challenge was to ensure that every detail of the windows and doors perfectly blended into the historical aesthetic while meeting the restrict performance standards required under local inspection. Luvindow was entrusted to make it happen, and we rose to the occasion with our Alu-Clad Wood Tilt & Turn Windows, a blend of traditional design and cutting-edge performance.
The Climate Challenge and Material Selection
New York’s climate demands windows that can tackle freezing winters and humid summers, all while providing year-round warm. The homeowners sought windows that would not only preserve the home’s historical charm but also protect against the region’s weather extremes.
From the function, Alu-Clad Wood Windows is a perfect combination of natural beauty and modern durability. The natural wood interiors provide warmth and excellent insulation, while the exterior aluminum cladding shields the windows from harsh weather and debris. The aluminum’s resistance to rain, snow, and icy winds ensures longevity and minimizes maintenance, making it an ideal solution for homeowners seeking both elegance and perfect insulation.
To further elevate the home’s thermal performance, the homeowners opted for triple-pane laminated glass, featuring Low-E coatings and argon gas filling. This premium glazing not only enhances energy efficiency but also creates a quiet sanctuary by blocking out external noise. The result? A home that feels as insulated and secure as a solid wall—yet offers breathtaking views. With an impressive U-value of 0.18, certified by the NFRC, these windows ensure optimal energy savings and unparalleled comfort.
For the Manor Look
Every element of the design was meticulously crafted to honor the elegance of traditional architecture. The windows featured divided-lites with spacer bars, perfectly replicating the multi-pane appearance of historical windows while maintaining the thermal efficiency of modern glazing.
Adding to the home’s charm were the custom arch-top windows, a signature feature of classical estates. These gracefully curved designs framed the entryways and added a touch of sophistication to the facade. Such details not only preserved the architectural integrity of the home but also elevated its visual appeal, creating a seamless blend of past and present.

Looking for windows that are as stylish as they are functional? Say goodbye to those outdated crank-style and sliding windows and hello to the game-changing Tilt & Turn Windows! These modern ones are a dream for anyone who loves clean, minimalist design and wants the best in performance and versatility.
How Do They Work?
Tilt & Turn Windows have a dual-function design that makes them a standout choice for modern homes. Instead of opening outward or relying on a crank, these windows tilt inwards or swing open fully. Here's how they work:
· Tilt Mode: Gently tilt the top of the window inward for ventilation. It’s perfect for letting in fresh air while keeping rain out. Plus, since the window doesn’t swing into your room, it won’t take up any interior space.
· Turn Mode: Turn the handle and the window opens fully inward, just like a door. This gives you maximum airflow and a wide, unobstructed view. It's also a super convenient when it comes to cleaning—no need to climb outside or struggle with hard-to-reach spots.
Better Performance & Mechanism
One of the biggest advantages of Tilt & Turn Windows is their superior insulation. Because they open inward, they create a tighter seal compared to outward-opening designs. This means less air leakage and better energy efficiency, ideal for keeping your home cozy in the winter and cool in the summer, and better sound insulation also.
On top of that, these windows are built with German-engineered hardware from the renowned brand HOPPE. Known for their durability and smooth operation, Siegenia’s hardware ensures that your windows will work flawlessly for decades. So, whether you’re opening them to let in the breeze or closing them to lock in the warmth, you can trust that they’ll stand the test of time.
