Nestled in Tulsa, Oklahoma, stands a 25-year-old home that exudes timeless elegance. Its homeowners sought a refresh — desiring an update for their living room windows while maintaining the cherished classic style that defines their home's character. Energy efficiency was also a top priority on their list.

Energy-Efficient Grilles Maintain Traditional Style

Addressing these specific needs called for a thoughtful selection that would seamlessly blend a classic look with modern performance. We recommended wood casement windows equipped with Integral Light Technology® grilles — a choice that perfectly balances the desired aesthetic and energy efficiency. The traditional grilles are permanently bonded to the inside and outside of the glass to mimic the look of true-divided light. This gives the appearance of individual panes of glass, without compromising on energy efficiency. Multiple small panes of glass introduce more opportunity for drafts or leaks, whereas one larger pane of glass with grilles is more airtight. The homeowners appreciate that the new traditional windows improve energy efficiency and still lend that charming, classic look they love.

Casement Windows Welcome Oklahoma Sunlight and Fresh Air

Not only do the new windows improve efficiency, but they also enhance the atmosphere of the living room. When the Oklahoma heat is too much to bear, the homeowners leave the casement windows closed and still benefit from natural sunlight in the space. During Tulsa’s more pleasant seasons, they can easily open the windows to enjoy a nice breeze. The casement windows contribute to a more inviting and refreshing environment where the family enjoys spending time together.

Tan Windows Blend Seamlessly with Existing Stonework

The homeowners were somewhat concerned that new products would look out of place on their 25-year-old home. For this reason, our team suggested wood windows which are the most customizable material. We selected tan windows to match the existing stonework on their home. The new windows humbly refresh the aesthetic of the house, enhancing the existing character.
