1Pivot Closed1Pivot Open

This Chicago property was originally a commercial space, but was converted to a luxury residence with the use of both traditional and contemporary windows and doors. This Sapele pivot door has 2 ft. deep jambs with a large transom above.  Although the transom has clear glass, the sidelight has privacy glass allowing for the desired light and security requested.  The custom stainless steel canopy contains concealed lighting that makes this gorgeous entry even more inviting!   To see more about Grabill Windows and Doors custom products, please visit our website.

Contemporary Tilt-Turn Windows

IMG_2640

DSCF1733Our contemporary styled, multi-function tilt-turn window is operated by a single lever. This allows the window to swing in like a door for maximum ventilation and easy cleaning or to tilt in at the top for indirect ventilation. Our stainless steel multi-point hardware system ensures a tight seal while providing additional security and increased sash stability for oversized units.

Insect screens are installed on the exterior as a fixed or retractable screen. The tilt-turn window is also available in bronze or aluminum clad and is compatible with a wide selection of lever designs, from modern to rustic.
Since our tilt-turn casement systems do not have fixed vertical dividers between sashes, they are ideal for meeting egress requirements while still maintaining elegant sash proportions.
