Grabill Windows & Doors Partner to Win Michigan Historic PRESERVATION NETWORK Award

Grabill is proud to be part of the recent restoration efforts on the Almont Historical Society Museum project.  This building originates from the mid 1800’s and at one point was going to be moved to Crossroads Village in Flint.  Grabill fabricated historically accurate front doors along with decorative upper and lower brackets for the storefront façade.  The transom and windows were restored while much of the original 1850’s glass was maintained.   This project has currently been selected to receive the Michigan Historic Preservation Network 2012 Building Award.  Grabill is proud to be part of the preservation of this local landmark and its historic presence within the community.   Commercial or residential, historical or contemporary, Grabill products range from bronze clad pivot doors to oversized casement windows.  For more information, please visit our website.

Aluminum clad lift and slide door systems

Grabill’s premium lift and slide door systems are a perfect solution for rooms with a view.  These aluminum clad doors slide neatly together maximizing indoor-outdoor living space.  With the simple movement of one handle, the large door panels move easily and quietly.  When closed, the doors secure to the jamb at multiple points and drop to the sill to engage the weather-stripping for security and strength.  Grabill products are fabricated according to individual specifications and are available in an infinite range of designs and sizes.  For more information on Grabill products, please visit our website.

Aluminum clad double pivot door and clad windows

Grabill has completed a project in Pitkin County, Colorado that contained multiple aluminum clad pivot doors.  The photo to the right is a double pivot door.  This door has a minimal profile threshold to offer a nearly seamless transition from the interior to the patio with mountain top views.  This custom home has various aluminum clad window options also.  The casement windows surrounding the fireplace have motorized awnings above to allow for adequate ventilation while maintaining the sleek contemporary feel of the home.  Grabill provided a bay window unit off the kitchen that contains high performance large expanse glass for optimal energy efficiency.  This unique aluminum clad window has a white oak interior seat and side vent windows with screens.  The design possibilities offered by Grabill are endless.  If you can envision it………we can make.  For more information on our custom products, please visit our website.

Fire and water restoration windows and doors

Grabill is leading the way for window and door manufacturers in the fire and water restoration arena.  A fire damaged Rochester, Michigan shop was brought back to life with replica Palladian windows and transoms. Grabill fabricated double hung windows and casements with leaded glass panels to exact detail.  Hardware was restored or replaced as needed.  For a different fire restoration project, Grabill manufactured reproduction woodwork including ponderosa pine sash components, interior trim soffet brackets, crown, beveled siding and shutters. Included in the project were fabricated sash using original open mortise and tenon joinery.

A northern Michigan lakeshore home experienced extensive water damage and Grabill was contacted by Belfor to restore and replace damaged window and door units.  This custom entry door was part of the restoration that included inswing doors with outswing screen doors, multi-lite oval windows, operable round pivot windows and outswing and tilt-turn casements.  Grabill products meet Historical Preservation Guidelines and can be constructed to match the original window or door perfectly.

Inswing Casements with roll screens

Grabill is currently fabricating windows for a project in Northern Michigan. This project involves in-swing casements with roll screens and storms.  The retractable screens slide into the natural recess of the window frame and virtually disappear when not in use.  The screen hardware offers a quite, smooth operation and protects the screens from the elements when retracted.  Grabill custom products have endless design possibilities.  For more information on Grabill Windows and Doors, please visit our website.
