Once the wall is shimmed and aligned, the straps are secured to the surrounding framing. This keeps screws out of the aluminum, creates a cleaner finish, and allows the drywall to cover the straps for a seamless appearance.Thank you, Tyler, for your confidence in our team. We look forward to continuing our partnership on the many projects ahead.For this home, the client wanted a clean, minimalist finish with no interior casings or moldings. Our floor-to-ceiling lift & slide doors and windows were finished with drywall returns for a seamless look, while a color-matched aluminum trim creates a clean transition to the hardwood floor.

You’ll also notice our full-height pull bar—a much more practical and comfortable solution than the typical recessed finger pull.

Simple. Clean. Functional.Before installation begins on our large commercial, institutional, government, and condominium projects, Schone Windows requires a full-scale mock-up wall. Complete with brick, aluminum extension profiles, windows, trims, and all exterior components, it allows the architect, builder, and every trade to review, approve, and understand every detail before work begins.

No surprises. No costly mistakes. Just quality from day one.work photo from schonewindows.comBallistic-rated or impact-rated glazing—which is right for your project?

Both provide excellent protection against vandalism. Impact-rated glass uses multiple layers of glass and PVB, offering strong protection at a more economical price. Ballistic-rated glazing adds a ¼-inch polycarbonate interior layer for a higher level of protection and improved fragment containment.

We manufacture complete window and glazing systems for different ballistic threat levels. Our team will help you select the right solution for your security needs and budget.A spectacular Mediterranean restobar—brought to life with advanced window and door systems.

Stretching more than 120 feet along the bar, a series of impressive 20-foot-wide guillotine windows opens the interior to the outdoors, transforming the space and creating an unforgettable open-air atmosphere.

Four-panel automatic sliding glass entrance doors provide smooth, effortless access, while integrated LED lighting above the systems adds warmth and drama after sunset.

The result is a sharp, modern destination where innovative engineering, beautiful design, and Mediterranean ambience come together perfectly.

Schöne Windows — Leaders in the Manufacturing of Advanced Window and Door Systems.work photo from schonewindows.comThe best details are often the ones that quietly make everything work.

During a recent Schone Windows job-site visit, I was impressed by the siding contractor’s clean, carefully planned installation around our windows.

The home combines vertical Hardie® board-and-batten siding on the lower section with horizontal siding above. To keep both systems properly aligned while maintaining a generous ventilation and drainage space behind the cladding, the contractor installed double strapping—using both horizontal and vertical furring over the sheathing.

This wall assembly required the windows to be positioned farther outward, something our window system was designed to accommodate.

The custom-bent aluminum trim around each opening creates a crisp, elegant transition between the windows and siding. Special attention was also given to the upper flashing detail to properly seal the opening and direct water away from the window.

Beautiful architecture depends on thoughtful coordination between every trade. This is an excellent example of craftsmanship, building science, and clean design coming together.

#SchoneWindows #WindowInstallation #HardieBoard #BoardAndBatten #BuildingEnvelope ExteriorDesign CustomWindows Craftsmanship ConstructionDetailsYesterday, we showed the flashing installation around our Schone windows. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the custom-bent flashing installed above each window before the siding goes on.

Notice how both ends of the flashing have been carefully bent. This detail directs any water that gets behind the siding away from the window—preventing it from entering behind the frame and potentially causing damage inside the home.

In Quebec, this type of flashing is required by the Building Code—but we believe it should be standard practice above every window, everywhere.

A big thumbs-up to the flashing contractor for the excellent workmanship. 

This installation was coordinated in advance between Schone Windows and the general contractor. Although we completed the window delivery three months ago, our involvement didn’t end there. We’re back on site today to verify that every detail is being executed correctly.

That’s part of the service we provide: careful coordination, on-site verification, and complete follow-through from delivery to final installation.

Highlights

  • Clean BBB record — A+ grade, no complaints in six years
  • Positive review — one 2023 Google review called service great
  • Founding story conflicts — site states both since 1968 and a 2020 launch
  • Limited reviews — just one dated Google review on file

Schone Windows and Doors — legally Schone Homes, LLC — runs out of Needham Heights and positions itself as a manufacturer as much as an installer: the company designs and builds European-style aluminum window and door systems, including tilt-and-turn windows, sliding and folding doors, curtain walls, and entrance doors, at its own factory in Katerini, Greece. It calls itself family-owned, run by cousins Yianni and John. The company's own history is a little tangled — its homepage claims roots going back to "since 1968," while its About page tells a different story: a father-and-son window business in 1960s Montreal that was later sold, followed by a fresh launch of the current Schone brand in 2020. Worth asking which timeline they mean when they talk about experience. Public feedback is thin so far. BBB, where the business isn't accredited, grades it A+ with no complaints on file across six years, and the one dated review on Google — from 2023 — simply calls the service great, with no detail on the actual job. For a homeowner or builder working with European-style, high-performance window and door systems, this is a company worth a conversation — just go in asking for specifics on their timeline and for references, since the public record here is still very light.
