2022 was a banner year for the U.S. Monumental Windows and Doors team. We feel luckier than ever in doing what we do; creating quality aluminum-framed windows and doors at the highest levels of craftsmanship for our discerning dealers and customers. And you’ve been here right alongside us on this journey.
Below, we’re looking back at our most popular blog posts and articles of 2022. They give insight into the tastes and styles of high-end builders and architects across the country. We hope you stick around for much more to come in 2023!
Post #1: Large Sliding Glass Doors and Moveable Glass Walls
Nothing says style quite like Monumental’s sliding glass doors and customizable glass walls. This piece embodies our ethos; we create stand-out pieces crafted from thermally broken aluminum that become the centerpiece of your home or build.
Post #2: The Best Windows and Doors That Keep Heat Out
Many of our clients, dealers and builders work in regions known for their extreme weather. Our own neighborhood is no exception; Palm Desert averages well above 100° for most of the summer.
That’s why it’s important to reiterate how our window and door products help to regulate temperatures. In the heat, thermally broken aluminum offers better energy efficiency and a lower carbon footprint. It also keeps the cool temps inside better than most materials — it won’t be warped by high heat or icy cold conditions.
Post #3: Transitional Architecture: Blending the Old with the New
Traditional and modern design elements combine to transform into transitional architecture. Monumental Windows and Doors is uniquely suited for this cutting-edge home decor and design style.
As more of us spend time at home in a post-pandemic world, we are seeking comfort and usability first. Transitional architecture allows for clean lines AND nostalgia, blended into the same space. Try utilizing one of our larger window or door pieces to bring the outside in and expand your living quarters seamlessly.
Post #4: How to Install Aluminum Windows
We typically leave installation details up to our dealers and builders, but it’s helpful to know what goes into the placement and setting of aluminum Monumental Windows and Doors!
Step one is to work with someone in our professional network. We vet everyone we work with across the United States, and the proof is in the pudding (the beautiful workmanship!) If you’re ready to purchase your own new set of windows, we are here to help.
Post #5: Luxury Home Design: Must-Haves to Complete the House of Your Dreams
Do you know how to set the scene for luxurious modern home design? Monumental has some great tips for establishing a space that screams “Classy!” Well, maybe screaming isn’t ideal, but you understand what we mean.
While we always recommend using Monumental Windows and Doors as part of your design, other features and elements also play a big part in the magic. Materials, lighting, accessories, and energy efficiency are also extremely important.
Post #6: How Do Architects Grow Their Client Base?
Do you run or work with an architectural firm? While we are always interested in building new partnerships, we thought it might also be worthwhile to offer some tips for growth and development in the modern architecture industry. Competition is fierce and it’s not always easy to stand out.
The tips in this highly lauded article include how to build out a long-term business plan, a services list, competitor analysis, and a winning marketing strategy.
Post #7: Construction Materials for a Modern Luxury Home
Considering building your own home or luxury project from the ground up? For obvious reasons, we highly recommend windows and doors framed with thermally broken aluminum.
Few materials will last as long and withstand warping and extreme conditions. Our sublinear sliding door systems and glass window walls are as durable as they are artfully crafted. It is rare to find that mix — and these pieces can last for decades. That’s why they are worth the investment!
Post #8: High-Performance Modern Windows
Last but not least, our #8 highest-performing blog post of 2022 focused on — ironically — the high-performing qualities of Monumental’s window products.
This piece is a great help in introducing our windows. It offers key insights into their selling points and how they compare to more traditional options. Whether you are looking for a window wall, casement, fixed, or horizontal sliding window style, we’ve got you covered.
