European aluminum windows, built to your openings.
Narrow frames, large panes and a mechanism that does two jobs at once. We fabricate tilt-and-turn, fixed and slimline aluminum windows in Brooklyn, thermally broken, multi-point locked, and made to your measurements rather than to a catalogue size.
One handle, two openings.
Turn the handle once and the window tilts inward at the top, ventilation without an open window a child or a burglar can get through. Turn it again and the whole sash swings inward like a door, so you can clean the outside of the glass from inside the room, and so the opening meets egress requirements.
It's the standard across Europe and almost unknown in American housing stock, which is why most people meet it for the first time in a project like yours.
Slim sightlines
Narrow aluminum profiles carry larger panes than vinyl or wood can, so more of the opening is glass and less of it is frame.
Thermally broken
An insulating barrier through the middle of every profile keeps aluminum’s strength and slim section without the energy penalty.
Secure as standard
Multi-point locking engages the frame top to bottom on every unit, not an upgrade, not an option.
Three profiles, one family.
MB-79N
The workhorse. Excellent thermal performance at a sensible cost, and the right answer for most residential projects.
MB-86N
Higher performance and larger maximum sizes, for bigger openings and stricter energy targets.
MB Slimline
The narrowest sightline we fabricate, for contemporary elevations where the frame should almost disappear.
A window built to the opening doesn't need packing out, trimming down, or a strip of trim to hide the gap. That's not a finishing detail; it's the difference between a window that looks made for the building and one that looks fitted to it.
Specified per project, not sold as tiers.
Everything above is a per-project decision. We quote the build-up you actually need rather than bundling options into good-better-best packages.
Who installs them?
Your contractor does. We're a fabricator; we build the windows and deliver them glazed, finished and labelled opening by opening, with the technical detail your installer needs.
European window questions.
Slimmer frames, larger glass, tighter seals, and a sash that both tilts and swings. The performance gap shows up most in winter and on noisy streets.
Often yes, and where the original glazing was steel, our steel-look systems usually match the proportions better.
It depends on the system, glass build-up and weight. Send us the opening.
Most residential orders are fabricated in two to three weeks from approved measurements.
