First Tuesday Lunch & Learn

Design Solutions for Multi-Family Projects

Course Description

Selecting a window and door system for use in new or renovated multi-family buildings typically centers on aluminum, aluminum-clad wood, fiberglass, or vinyl windows. All are well-suited for a variety of different design applications whether horizontal, vertical, or punched window looks are sought. Their installation methods are numerous and suited to a variety of building construction types for both new and existing construction. Regardless of the design intent or installation method used, designing and specifying windows and doors into multi-family buildings yields broad design choices, excellent energy efficiency, resistance to rain and wind, and lasting durability.
