Imber Akse House - Burlington's LEED home » Windows http://imberaksehouse.ca Imber Akse House is the realization of our dream home. A burlington LEED home that looks at living, sustainability and urbanism in a holistic perspective. We've designed this site to engage as many people in the process of designing and building our sustainable home as possible — so that we might encourage others to take the same steps toward positive change and get there with a little more ease.

Over the last couple of weeks, Pella has been carefully installing all of the glazing with only a few more to go. We’re loving this stage, the quality of the product is excellent, beautiful to look at and they have really done a lot to frame the building and bring it into proportion a little more.

If there is consideration for the next time we do something like this, we’ll review the size of the smaller windows and make them a little larger. By proportion, the reducing effect of the window frame and trim on the overall window glazing opening is more apparent on the smaller windows than the larger one. Small windows get really small – large windows just a little smaller.
