🔨In this episode of the porch addition mini-series, I take you behind the scenes of the window choices for this build — and why I went with European tilt & turn windows over more common North American options.
These wood-aluminum triple-glazed units offer:
• Higher thermal performance (R-9!)
• Durable, rear-ventilated aluminum cladding
• Dual function: tilt for ventilation, turn for cleaning
• Sleek integration with a modern air-sealed wall
I also explain how I installed them to minimize thermal bridging, keep the rain out, and preserve a clean aesthetic. If you're wondering whether these are worth the hype — watch this!
🧰 Products & Details:
• Window types: Fixed, tilt&turn, fully glazed door, shutter unit
• U-value: 0.6 (R-9)
• Tapes, sills, and insulation techniques for airtight install
This is Episode 6 of a 9-part series documenting the design and construction of a small but mighty addition built differently—from the ground up.
