DUMBO sits in the shadow of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, where former factories and warehouses along Washington, Water, and Plymouth Streets have become some of Brooklyn’s most coveted loft residences. These early-twentieth-century industrial buildings were built with enormous steel and timber window openings designed to flood manufacturing floors with daylight. Converted into homes, those expanses of glass are the whole appeal — but original single-pane industrial sash and aging conversions often leak air, transmit cold, and rattle in the wind that whips off the East River. Owners want to keep the dramatic openings and the postcard bridge views while finally taming the drafts and noise.
We design replacement systems built for loft-scale openings, fabricating large-format casement and picture units that preserve the open industrial aesthetic DUMBO is known for. Our windows use thermally broken frames and multi-pane glass engineered for the waterfront, with hardware rated to resist salt-air corrosion. Where buildings fall within the historic district, we handle the LPC review process and match the look of original industrial sash. The outcome is a loft that keeps its light and its views while staying warm, quiet, and weather-tight year-round.
We will measure your loft’s openings, assess the exposure to the river, and propose windows scaled to your space and rated for the waterfront.
