Your new windows and doors should do more than just fit openings they should also fit your lifestyle, architecture and decor.

For more than 85 years, Hurd Windows & Doors has been following this philosophy offering a range of styles, colors, trim and specialized glazing options that allow you to personalize your window and door selections, says Joe Herman, the company's vice president of sales and marketing.

"Hurd gives you the choice of all-wood windows and doors, or the low-maintenance protection of aluminum-clad wood. Our seven standard cladding colors were chosen to enhance almost any home design, but we also offer 20 special color options if you would like to widen your palette. If that's not enough, we can custom match any color you specify," says Herman.

"Pine windows in a maple kitchen is not an ideal scenario, so we also give you a choice of woods. Whether it's your den or kitchen, or throughout your whole house, Hurd lets you choose from nine classic wood species for your windows, patio doors and trim."

Wood options include white and red oak, Douglas fir, lyptus, cherry, mahogany, clear or knotty alder and maple. If these aren't suitable, then you can order your windows, doors and trim from any other workable wood species.

To complement its windows and doors, Hurd offers a selection of designer hardware with a variety of options for handles and locking mechanisms. With as many as eleven finishes to choose from, it's easy to find the ideal match for your decor.

The company also offers seven glass options, so you can maximize your comfort and energy efficiency, while blocking harmful UV rays.

"Whether you face blazing sun, bitter cold, or both, Hurd has glass and glazing options to match," says Herman. "Instead of choosing a single type of glass for your entire home, you can select glass for each room according to its exposure to the elements."

With Hurd's range of eleven decorative glass styles, you can also create personalized window designs, filter harsh sunlight or enhance privacy and security. For the ultimate in one-of-a-kind windows, Hurd can create custom leaded and stained glass windows.
