The Custom Window™ by Wausau 8300 Series historically accurate windows now include true divided lites and custom-machined grilles to achieve modern performance, while preserving the look of landmark buildings.

“Respectful restoration calls for replication of character-defining features. To match the exact, historic detail, Custom Window by Wausau’s grilles are custom-designed and precision-machined,” emphasizes Dave Stevens, Custom Window by Wausau’s product manager. “Narrow, accurate sightlines; true divided lites; and strict attention to detail set apart the fenestration of landmark structures -- then, and now.”
Custom Window by Wausau products can replicate nearly any historic sightline in a true divided lite (TDL) window. Stevens adds, “Glassmaking technology in the years prior to World War II limited the size of individual glass lites, mitigating the use of putty-glazed muntin grids. Only TDL design can reproduce this aesthetic with the fidelity required for rigorous historical preservation.”

For more than 30 years, universities, courthouses, museums, libraries, hotels, schools, high-rise residences and other commercial buildings have relied on Wausau Window and Wall Systems’ products to meet both renovation and new construction applications. Wausau’s project teams work with architects, building teams and presiding historic districts to assist in obtaining necessary aesthetic and performance approvals, associated tax credits and long-term objectives. Extra-wide thermal barriers also can contribute to building’s energy saving goals and condensation resistance.
