At Associated Glass Corporation, we pride ourselves on collaborating closely with architects and builders to bring intricate designs to life. One of our recent projects exemplifies this dedication and expertise: a unique French West Indies home featuring the sophisticated elegance of Lafinestra Windows and Doors. Here’s an inside look at how our team worked to ensure that the vision of this remarkable residence was flawlessly executed.
1. The Vision: A French West Indies Home with Unified Design
The architectural vision for this French West Indies home was centered on achieving a seamless and cohesive appearance across all elevations. The architect’s key requirement was to ensure that all colonial muntins—the vertical and horizontal bars dividing the panes of glass—were aligned at the same height throughout the entire home. This detail was essential for maintaining the traditional aesthetic and architectural integrity of the residence.
2. Collaborating with Lafinestra Windows and Doors
To meet the architect’s precise specifications, Lafinestra Windows and Doors was selected for their superior craftsmanship and ability to deliver custom solutions. Their windows and doors needed to reflect the classic colonial design while offering durability and performance.
• Custom Design: Lafinestra’s commitment to customization ensured that the colonial muntins were aligned precisely as specified, contributing to the home’s cohesive look.
3. Our Role: From CAD Files to Implementation
Associated Glass Corporation played a crucial role in translating the architect’s vision into reality. Our involvement included several key stages:
• CAD Files and Shop Drawings: We began by creating detailed CAD files and shop drawings, which were essential for ensuring that every aspect of the windows and doors met the design requirements. These technical documents allowed us to provide accurate and reliable information for the manufacturing process.
• Technical Expertise: Our team’s expertise was vital in ensuring that the custom windows and doors were produced to the highest standards, aligning perfectly with the architectural design.
4. Precision Installation: Bringing the Design to Life
The final phase of our involvement was the meticulous installation of the windows and doors. This process involved:
• Accurate Installation: Our installation team worked with precision to ensure that each window and door was installed according to the architectural specifications. The alignment of the colonial muntins was carefully checked and adjusted to achieve the desired look.
• Quality Control: We conducted thorough quality checks to confirm that every detail was executed flawlessly, ensuring that the end result met the high standards set by the architect and the expectations of the homeowner.
5. The Result: A Harmonious and Elegant Home
The successful collaboration between Associated Glass Corporation and Lafinestra Windows and Doors resulted in a French West Indies home that perfectly realized the architectural vision. The alignment of the colonial muntins across all elevations created a harmonious and elegant facade, showcasing the precision and craftsmanship that define our work.
