Design considerations

• Frame finish: Matte black powder coat is a classic choice; custom colors and textured finishes are available to match brick, trim, or interior palettes.
• Mullion patterns: Choose between simple grids for a minimalist look or complex multi-lite arrangements to match original fenestration patterns.
• Glazing options: Balance thermal performance and sightlines—select low-E insulated units for cold months while considering solar control coatings for bright south-facing exposures.
• Operability: Casements and awnings provide ventilation; fixed units preserve uninterrupted sightlines and maximize glazing area.
• Installation details: Proper flashing, sill design, and air/water barriers are essential in Milwaukee’s climate to prevent water intrusion and manage condensation.

• Retrofit vs. full-frame replacement: choose full-frame for structural/insulation improvements
• Proper flashing, sill pan, and air/vapor barrier integration essential in Milwaukee’s freeze-thaw climate
