Historic Window & Door Replacement Services in Atlanta & Charlotte
Preserving the Details That Give Historic Buildings Their Character
Replacing windows and doors in a historic property is very different from a typical renovation. Original proportions, profiles, divided lites, trim, materials, and operating styles all contribute to the architectural character of the building.
Davis Window & Door works with homeowners, architects, builders, and preservation professionals to identify replacement solutions that respect those original details while providing the performance and durability expected from a modern window or door.
Designed to Respect the Original Architecture
Historic replacement products can be tailored to closely recreate the appearance of the original windows and doors, including traditional wood profiles, divided lites, casing styles, grille patterns, and period-appropriate proportions.
Where unique openings exist, custom sizes, shapes, round tops, double-hung configurations, and specialty units can be produced to complement the original architecture rather than forcing a standard replacement into the opening.
Traditional Appearance With Modern Options
Depending on the requirements of the property, historic replacement projects may use traditional wood species and finishes or durable alternatives designed to replicate a historic appearance while reducing maintenance.
Modern insulated glass, simulated divided lites, aluminum-clad products, and fiberglass may also be acceptable in some historic districts while allowing homeowners to improve energy efficiency and long-term durability.
