Specialty Windows: Custom Shapes For Homes With Character
When A Standard Window Won’t Do
Some homes have architectural details that a standard rectangular window just doesn’t suit, an arched entryway, a gable that calls for something round, a stairwell that could use a decorative accent. Specialty windows are built to fit those situations: custom shapes, decorative glass, and configurations that don’t come off a standard production line.
We get these requests most often from homeowners with older or more distinctive Tulsa-area homes, where a single unusual window is part of what gives the house its character, and a plain rectangular replacement would stand out for all the wrong reasons.
Shapes And Glass We Work With
Arches, half-circles, full circles, octagons, and trapezoids are all shapes we’ve fabricated for homeowners around Tulsa. On the glass side, we work with clear, tinted, obscured, and decorative options, depending on whether the goal is privacy, style, or just a distinctive look for an accent window.
Why Custom Work Takes A Careful Hand
There’s very little room for error with a custom-shaped opening, which is why we take extra time on measurement and fabrication coordination before anything gets installed. As an owner-involved company, we stay personally connected to these more detailed projects from the initial design conversation through the final walkthrough.
We also get calls about specialty windows that already exist in a home, an original arched window from the 1920s, for example, that’s fogged, leaking, or simply worn out. In those cases we work from the existing opening to fabricate a matching replacement, rather than asking you to change the look of a detail that’s part of what makes the home distinctive.
