hen you need your windows to wow, KLAR Window Studio Windows+Doors has just the personalized panes – or any other specialized window - to complete your dream home. Unlike other window companies that simply import products from Europe, KLAR, based in Norwalk, Connecticut, has its own manufacturing facility in Poland, guaranteeing unparalleled quality and service. They might have officially opened in 2017, but KLAR’s founder, a famed builder himself, has been importing these windows from their factory for over 20 years. What truly sets them apart is that while their windows are made in Europe, KLAR windows undergo special testing to be certified for the US market. This award-winning window design company specializes in servicing high-end residential homes mostly throughout Southern Connecticut, greater New York, the Hamptons, and even Florida as demand rises. Their products aren’t just stylish, but can also sustain severe weather and winds. In fact, KLAR
windows are impact rated and were even the only window company to create a glass sufficient enough to meet the standards of the first net zero hotel in the U.S. called Hotel Marcel and are already getting calls from other net zero hotels. When it comes to windows, let’s just say that if you can dream it, KLAR can design it. From swinging glass doors for wine cellars which are usually made with thermally broken steel or aluminum frame and double glass, to a gorgeous garage with two sliding doors on each end, and even a man cave with a 25-foot steel doors and aluminum windows, there is no project they can’t perfect. As everything is completely custom designed, the team at KLAR remains fully engaged at every design stage. In addition to working with the most prestigious architects in Connecticut, they also have engineers both here and overseas who are responsible for meeting metrics and certain energy efficiency numbers. Their professional installers, service crew and project managers also work exclusively for the company, meaning they don’t have to outsource to a third party. Their technicians oversee that installation is done property and clients are thus encouraged to advantage of their services from the very beginning to end of a project. With a massive color palette and hardware to choose from, KLAR can create magical modern masterpieces or more classic colonials. Whether you want an edgy steel look, glass walls to open up a particular space, walls with French doors, or anything in between, you can live in the luxurious lifestyle you have always imagined. If you’re in the market for a new look, current trends include using a mix of both wood and aluminum on the outside – aluminum made from recycled product that is – which protects the wood from elements such as rain and snow while retaining a modern edge with steel. KLAR’S small but dedicated team all care deeply about the people and projects they work with and word hard to ensure that your windows not only sustain weather impacts but also positively impact your life.
