    Princeton Hall
    The medieval gallery of the Princeton University Art Museum, built in 1929, had a variety of special needs when it came to windows. The leaded glass windows would need to perform with energy efficiency. Visible light transmission would need to be managed to prevent fading of furnishings within the galleries. Relative humidity would need to be kept at 60% to protect the museum collections. And security was a factor. Learn more.

    Druid Hill Conservatory
    Two greenhouse pavilions were designed as new construction to complement and connect with a larger conservatory, the Palm House, originally built in Baltimore's Druid Hill Park in 1888. Specifications for the new greenhouses were written from the Palm House renovation window specs in order to echo the dimensioning, design and rhythm of the older, main conservatory structure. Learn more.

    311 Summer Street
    The renovation of the warehouse building at 311 Summer Street was part of a neighborhood redevelopment initiative in south Boston. Local preservation codes made window replacement challenging.

    Rapid prototyping was used to develop extruded aluminum panning that precisely replicated the profile of the existing frame. This allowed for installation of a sash that had the same amount of glass as previous windows, meeting historic preservation requirements. Learn more.

    To receive a free DVD on replacement window options, please call Marvin Windows and Doors at (888) 537-8268 or visit www.marvin.com.
