Schöne Doors and Windows

New construction in New Hampshire, featuring Schöne Windows.

This mixed-use property brings together townhouses on the upper floors and commercial spaces at ground level.

Upstairs, we’re installing our PVC tilt-and-turn windows for excellent insulation, easy cleaning, and versatile ventilation.

On the ground floor, our aluminum window systems and commercial entrance doors deliver a clean, modern look with the durability busy commercial spaces need.

Residential comfort upstairs. Commercial strength downstairs. Schöne Windows brings it all together.

Today, we’re taking you to the beautiful mountains of New Hampshire, where we’re featuring the installation of two Schone Accordion Door Systems.

What makes our accordion doors different? It’s all in the engineering.

Unlike conventional top-hung folding doors, our innovative bottom-rolling system transfers the weight of the door panels to the lower track, reducing the structural load on the header and allowing for exceptionally smooth, effortless operation.

Two precision-engineered stainless steel tracks guide the rollers, delivering strength, stability, and fluid movement.

With three sill configurations, including a completely flush threshold and weather-sealed options for enhanced protection against the elements, our systems adapt to the demands of each project.

And when it comes to opening up your space, we think BIG.

Heights up to 10 feet

Openings up to 30 feet wide

From mountain retreats to modern architectural homes, Schone Accordion Doors create expansive openings that bring the outdoors in.

This four-panel lift-and-slide pocket door will create a 20-foot opening, with the panels disappearing into pockets inside the walls. That requires a full 30-foot span—20 feet for the opening, plus a 5-foot pocket on each side.

Take a look at the careful leveling beneath the flat sill. Precision here is essential to smooth operation and proper panel alignment.

Next comes the outer wall construction and installation of the supplied weatherstripping to complete the pockets.

This is the expertise behind a door like this: planning the space, manufacturing the system, and getting the installation details right before the walls are closed. The finished result hides the doors—and much of the work that makes them operate beautifully.

Child safety starts with the details.

On this Schöne Windows project, I’m demonstrating the opening restrictors on our Series 8000 uPVC windows.

The key check: with the opening restricted, a four-inch-diameter ball must not pass through. Limiting the opening helps reduce the risk of a child falling through an open window while allowing ventilation.

Installing the hardware is only part of the job. Proper adjustment and checking the opening are just as important.

Schöne Windows — attention to detail, with your family in mind.

Our company manufactured and installed these windows and doors in 1987—39 years ago.

I happened to be in the area and stopped to see the building. Honestly, I was impressed by what I found.

The original blue-tinted insulating glass is still clear, with no visible fogging or failed units. The aluminum windows and entrance doors remain intact and in working order. Even the original Dymonic perimeter sealant we applied nearly four decades ago remains in excellent condition.

The original PPG Duranar finish has also performed remarkably well. There is some fading after 39 years, but overall, the condition is exceptional.

Our company was founded in 1968. This project is more than an old installation—it is visible proof of the experience, workmanship, and durability behind our legacy.

Nearly 40 years later, the glass, aluminum, doors, finish, and sealant are still doing their job.

That is what we mean when we say: built to stand the test of time.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the Schöne Windows team prepares custom aluminum sills for a 21-foot commercial curtain-wall window.

Each sill is formed with a double bend at the front. At the back, it is carefully cut and bent to fit beneath the pressure plate before the snap-on cap is installed. This detailing is essential for clean aesthetics, proper drainage, and long-term waterproofing.

Because the aluminum is supplied in 10-foot lengths, we fabricated the sill in three sections of approximately 7½ feet, incorporating properly formed overlaps to create a clean, continuous installation.

A small detail—but one that makes a major difference in the finished curtain wall.

When interior grids weren’t enough to satisfy the city, Schöne Windows went the extra mile. We added exterior aluminum muntin bars to the curtain-wall storefronts and tilt-and-turn windows, creating an authentic true-divided-light appearance.

Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference. Here’s how we did it.

Our insulated glass units are designed to contain a minimum of 90% argon gas for optimal thermal performance. During today’s routine quality-control test, a randomly selected unit measured an impressive 98% argon fill.

This test is performed daily to confirm that our equipment is properly calibrated and every unit meets our quality standards.

Precision matters. Performance matters. Quality is verified at every step.
