"Standard" product specifications
European Architectural Supply takes great pride in designing our wood windows and doors for each individual project, and we always consider and evaluate any suitable option a customer may request. Our motto is: "If you can draw it, we can build it"
Due to the flexibility of custom work and because of the variety of customer requests, needs or requirements it is difficult for European Architectural Supply to define our "standard" product.
| Lumber | Our wood is selected from sustainable growth areas offering Clear Spruce, Clear Pine, Oak, Mahogany and European Larch |
| Glass | Insulated glass starting at 3/8" thickness, with the following options: Low-E, Argon-filled, laminated, tempered, restoration glass, privacy glass, colored glass, leaded, obscure, bent and curved shapes, motorized and internal blinds, bullet and impact resistant glass. |
| Hardware | We are proud to work with the following manufacturers and distributors: G-U, CodeLocks, Cobra, Hoppe, Rocky Mountain Hardware. EAS constantly stays in contact with our suppliers and their representatives to learn of any new developments in their respective fields. |
| Finish | All of our products are pre-finished like handcrafted furniture. Our three-step finishing system will far surpass any finish that can be applied on the jobsite. Before the glazing is applied the entire window/door in dipped into a wood preservate. Next, the two finish coats are sprayed on. EAS offers 25 rich clear stains and an infinite number of solid colors. EAS uses RAL paint formulations to match any Sherwin Williams or Ben Moore solid paint colors. |
