Huntingdon Valley, PA | 2015
Vetrina designed and manufactured 46 aluminum windows and 6 doors for a luxurious private villa in a picturesque Philadelphia suburb of Huntingdon Valley. The intent was to create a spacious residence with an exceptionally well-lit interior using primarily natural lighting. We utilized a number of configurations of Tilt & Turn, Casement, Tilt & Slide, as well as Lift & Slide models to complement the transitional architecture decorated with doric accents and chamfer moldings, including curved sections with windows around the perimeter of the semi-circumference. The overall result plays well together with the surrounding environment, while providing superior energy savings, as well as security for the residents.
Special focus was placed on designing a variety of sliding doorways for the patio and the backyard. Thanks to Vetrina's revolutionary hardware options, and the latest aluminum extrusion technologies we were able to create large glass surface areas weighing up to 400lb. that are easy to operate, provide excellent air, water, and structural performance, world-class thermal efficiency, outstanding acoustical properties, and protection from forced entry.
