We are very excited to be getting our new drop down windows very soon.
These new windows are going into our Muskoka room, which is on a second storey, with a covered porch below it.
We were amazed to find that they could be used in this application. Actually, our Builder Rob Borne, worked with Ross Windows in Parry Sound to design them specifically for our application.
In the picture above, Rob is putting them into the top storey of a boathouse with living quarters.You can see how this window is open just a bit, so that you can see how it drops down and totally disappears.
What is so good about them is that they are fully insulated windows that simply disappear into a kneewall.
In our case, they are disappearing into a glass kneewall, as we have floor to ceiling windows in our Muskoka room.
Not that many builders know about them. However, I understand that the Toronto decorator Sarah Richardson is putting them into a Toronto home, which will be featured on her television program this fall.
I will post pictures of our windows when they go in. Although they are a bit expensive, we are thinking of them as a good investment in our Muskoka Real Estate.
