How is Woodstone different from other window and door companies?

• Price control, predictable scheduling and upgraded performance are assured with historic replication vs. the unknowns of restoration. We understand these are important issues on any job, but for some jobs, these considerations are essential. Woodstone strives to provide consistent prices and concise specifications to eliminate surprises. Our Timelines schedule tasks so everyone, including our vendors, and you, our customer, know what is required to meet a deadline. 
   
• Woodstone provides performance, even when matching historic details.
• Woodstone customers don’t pick from a catalog. We manufacture exactly what is required. Whether we are producing the detailed designs of an architect or reproducing elements of the past, Woodstone does not impose typical manufacturing limitations.

• Woodstone provides one of the longest limited warranties in the industry; our products are that good… 20 years on the joinery, 25 years on the finish, and 20 years on the insulating glass.

Technology = Service and Value

Nearly three decades ago, Woodstone pioneered the application of CAD-CAM design and fabrication, previously used only in mass-production, to its custom products and virtually created an industry. Our use of proprietary software programs controls every aspect of the design for the hundreds of elements in each window and door. This allows Woodstone to respond quickly to our customers’ needs for fast quotes, no-hassle change orders, and precise production and delivery management. Our business systems were designed around the needs of our customers, to create an emerging business of 21st century products - truly custom window and door manufacturing for historic replications and properties of distinction.

The True Divided Light Advantage

When most manufactures settle for the illusion of individual panes of glass by installing a grill over one large piece of glass (Simulated Divided Lights), Woodstone’s quality standards require True Divided Light construction. A True Divided Light is an individual piece of insulated glass installed and sealed between precisely joined wooden muntins. The advantage of false-grills is ease of manufacturing. True Divided Light fabrication allows the use of specialty glass with less weight, lower maintenance costs and lower cost of ownership. Remember, if a window is ‘maintenance free’, it can’t be maintained.

Woodstone does not compromise on quality or meeting your customization needs. We are the kind of custom manufacturer you should entrust your building project to.

But Where to Find This Insulating Glass?

Folks ask us where do we get the small pieces of insulating glass that we use in our True Divided Light (TDL) wood windows and doors? The answer is that we make them in our own shop. Our skilled fabricators know how to use high quality components to fabricate small, precise units that will last many years. As you can see, we make them in many shapes and sizes. We also make rectangles to fit sash with narrow bars and muntins, some of the thinnest in the business. Every piece in this sash is an individual unit (including the tiny half inch triangles in the upper corners!). That is why Woodstone is known for detail.
We also make our insulating glass for resale to contractors and homeowners who need to repair or replace hard to find pieces for windows in their homes. Our insulating units may be fabricated with a variety of glass types as well. We use clear, tempered, laminated, obscure, antique, tinted, Low-E, and more… virtually any type of glass. Of course there are considerations when it comes to unusual combinations of glass types, but our experienced staff will help you, our customer, determine what is the right glass for your project, taking into consideration the cost, warranty, and use.
