Designing for Altitude - Choosing the Right Windows and Doors for Mountain Homes
Nestled in the beauty and extremes of high-altitude living, mountain homes demand more than just scenic views - they require smart design choices that account for climate, performance, and durability. Windows and doors are a critical piece of that equation, especially in luxury builds where form and function go hand-in-hand.
Why Windows and Doors Matter More in Mountain Builds
At elevations where snowfall is heavy, winds are fierce, and temperatures can shift rapidly, not all products are up to the challenge. That’s where Loewen’s high-performance wood windows and doors stand apart. Designed with mountain living in mind, they offer the perfect combination of structural strength, thermal efficiency, and architectural beauty - ensuring your home stays comfortable, quiet, and protected all year long.
