Step Out Of The Ordinary With Palladian

More from the Window Replacement Gallery

Shopping for windows should be a simple process; but when you dissect the numerous designs, styles, brands, features, colors, glasses, and finishes, the process can actually become as complicated as shopping for that perfect pair of pants. While you wear your pants once in a while, though, the window will always be in use, and should last you decades. To be sure you make the best decision for your investment, it helps to do as much research ahead of time as possible.

History

One type of window that doesn't get much attention is the Palladian window. The Palladian window is a derivative of Palladian architecture developed by the Italian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). Since that time period, Palladian architecture has come and gone throughout Europe, changing and developing over time into the style we are familiar with today. The Palladian window is characterized by the rounded-arched top, a main window in the center, and two small windows on the side, typically with some sort of column dividing the two.

No Ordinary Stock Item

Most window manufacturers don't carry Palladian windows as a standard stock item, but many are quite accommodating for custom construction upon request. The Andersen Window Company offers one such combination as described in this article: Andersen Springline Windows. This handy guide provides some ideas and resources you may find advantageous: Guide to Palladian Windows and Palladian Window Showrooms.

Your window contractor can work in collaboration with your window supplier to create a custom design.
