High Performance Windows, High Quality Views

Advantages of High Performance Windows

Bob and his team at Advantage Architectural Woodwork delivered these high performance windows from Colby, Kansas. The amount of hard work that went into these windows has been unreal. When we say hard work, we're not exaggerating. One of these windows weighs about 400 lbs.


Advantage Architectural Woodwork is a company based in Colby, Kansas that manufactures energy-efficient European style windows and doors for low energy homes and buildings. You read that right, these windows are actually manufactured in Kansas!


Advantage Architectural Woodwork was the first Smartwin partner in North America, which is the type of windows we installed in the main living space at the Lake Quivira remodel. Smartwin windows all contain a slim and elegant wood frame with insulated triple-pane glazing.


The Smartwin sliding door was the first style of sliding glass door to be certified by Passive House. They have a completely encompassed, continuous air-tight seal and are the exact same proportions as the Smartwin window. They seamlessly fit within the profile of the windows at the LQ remodel.
