Wausau brochure features historic buildings

Balancing the look of previous eras with the performance of today’s energy efficiency needs, Wausau Window and Wall Systems, Wausau, Wis., provides an overview of its historically-influenced window products and renovation projects. “Perhaps no action demonstrates social responsibility and environmental stewardship more profoundly than respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork,” said Steve Gille, Wausau’s educational market manager. “For more than 50 years, Wausau’s staff and products have helped building teams overcome these aesthetic and logistical challenges in university residence halls and classrooms, hospitals and medical centers, government offices and courthouses.” Exemplifying Wausau’s ability to knit old and new, blending original materials and original ideas, the “Historically-Influenced Window Replacement” brochure features such sensitively restored and renovated historic buildings as:
* Brookline High School in Brookline, Mass. with Finegold Alexander and Associates
* Eastern Washington University’s Showalter Hall in Cheney, Wash. with A&E Services at EWU
* University of Minnesota’s Walter Library in Minneapolis with SBS Architects
* University of Notre Dame’s Cavanaugh Hall in Notre Dame, Ind. * U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building in Montgomery, Ala. with Barganier Davis Sims
* VA Medical Center in Battle Creek, Mich. with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Whether replicating steel frames, mimicking wood and putty sashes, or matching distinctive details of muntin grids and color combinations, Wausau’s new brochure outlines a range of window selections to achieve the specified look and performance:
* 2250-E Epic and 3250-H Heritage windows crafted with beveled exterior face and optional ogee and rectilinear profiles
* 310-SH single-hung windows optimized for thermal performance, ease of operation and durability
* 3250-LP and 4250-LP simulated hung windows, which are actually projected windows with offset glass, designed especially to replace aging double-hung windows in punched openings or multiple openings with accent mullions
* S.E.A.L. interior prime windows preferred for applications where the existing window remains intact and Sound, Energy Air and Light improvements are essential Part of the Advantage by Wausau offering, these standard windows are ideally suited to meet the accelerated pace of construction timelines for historic renovations. Competitively priced, they are backed with an industry-leading warranty of up to 10 years.
