INGENUITY® SEMI-CUSTOM WINDOWS: built to last beautifully


The Ingenuity line of semi-custom windows was created to be highly adaptable to fit the varied architectural needs of our eclectic clientele.


Since the Ingenuity line was developed with traditional casement and double hung windows in mind, wood is the obvious choice. Replica materials, such as vinyl or fiberglass can look cheap and quickly degrade.


Most importantly, wood is authentic; Ingenuity Windows will fit into any old house or commercial building, look historically accurate, and meet historic review standards.

We provide both casement and double hung windows; within those two categories are myriad design possibilities. Wood is renewable, strong, and easily customized with stain, paint and ornamental hardware to match your building design.


Both styles are available operable or fixed (picture window style), and are available as single units or mulled assemblies, with muntin bars, or even direct glaze. 


Casements can be configured to be awnings or hoppers as well.


standard features of our INGENUITY® SEMI-CUSTOM WINDOWS

Our solid wood windows are constructed out of clear vertical grain (CVG) Douglas Fir. We provide options to upgrade to a tight grain selection, or Sapele—these materials can bring enhanced beauty and durability to your project. 


Insulated glass units featuring Cardinal LoE 272 UV coating provide insulation against both temperature and sound. 


Weatherstripping is applied at all contact points, ensuring top-notch performance. All window types are available as complete full-frame assemblies. 


We build insert windows, which allows for ease of installation in your existing opening. We also offer a series of oversized windows, which boast the scaled-up parts that large units require.
