Traditional window- and door-making

The woodwork in windows and doors is one of the integral elements of architecture. These elements fill their role by dividing the space allotted to them into even partitions, with specific proportions. Over History, the play of measurements and proportions has varied telling graphically of each passing period.

It is precisely because the skilled proportions of windows and doors, always related to the architectural rhythm of the building, seems to have been forgotten, that it is now important to focus our attention on this important stylistic heritage.

Even if the functional aspects of these components, with respect to the architectural vision of a building, are essential, their esthetic design must remain an important step in the conception of a structure.

Old windows unite both of these qualities. Despite their 200 or 250 years of age, they are still repairable; not only is their repair economical when compared to their replacement, this work respects craftsmanship that has satisfied its daily purpose for over ten generations.
