Steel windows

Custom Steel Windows Installation – Private Retreat, New Hampshire

At Glass Around, we recently completed a truly unique project: the full glazing of a private retreat house located on a secluded, unoccupied island in New Hampshire. The design called for a full 360-degree experience — surrounding the structure with glass to immerse the residents in nature, without compromising on protection or energy performance.

Project Highlights:

🏞 Location: Remote Island, New Hampshire
🏡 Scope: Custom steel-framed windows & glass doors
🔳 Glazing: Low-iron, tempered glass for unmatched clarity
🌡 Functionality: Protects from cold mountain air while maintaining natural light and panoramic views

The client envisioned a space that would feel entirely open to the surrounding wilderness — forests, water, and sky — while still being a functional shelter during cold nights and seasonal changes. To achieve this, we installed custom-fabricated steel window frames, known for their slim profiles and strength, allowing for larger glass surfaces with minimal obstruction.

To enhance the visual experience, we used low-iron tempered glass, which offers maximum clarity and color neutrality — ideal for a setting where the true colors of nature are part of the living experience.

Why Steel Windows?

✔️ Durability: Built to last through extreme temperatures and natural conditions
✔️ Aesthetic Appeal: Minimalist, industrial beauty that blends with modern architecture
✔️ Unobstructed Views: Slim profiles allow for more glass and less frame
✔️ Energy Performance: Combined with the right glazing, steel windows offer both visual and thermal benefits

This project showcases how architecture and nature can exist in harmony — a home that disappears into the landscape while still offering protection and comfort.
