|
One among many buildings in the Bridgeport Shopping Center…
|
…with commercial offices above retail space. Remodeling for a new tenant…
|
…is to include replacing the failed insulated glass in the Marvin Wood Windows.
|
We personally do not believe that the failure is indicative of a problem with Marvin products.
|
Anybody’s wood windows wood be sorely tested by the exposure that this architecture allows.
|
We would be more inclined to question the decision to install wood products into openings that have this exposure in the Willamette Valley.
|
As we’ve alluded to a number of times as we’ve discussed a number of our projects in this portfolio, these architectural practices probably work fine down around the sun-belt.
|
But not so much so in the Willamette Valley or any other places with like-kind climatic patterns.
|
Not that we’re complaining. It keeps us busy, and as the old axiom goes; “busy hands are happy hands.”
|
We’re very happy and thankful for the work.
