There are probably thousands of window manufacturers in the world, but not many make high-quality octagon, round or oval windows. I know because I’ve looked. That’s what led me to 80+year-old Marc Smith about 10 years ago. That’s him below. He’s been making and selling round, oval and octagonal windows since 2000. Right from the beginning, Marc’s venture was entirely online, and as far as I know he was the first to bring window shopping to the web. Pretty impressive for a guy who was 65 at the time.
Marc’s Facebook page is simple (you can see it here), but it’s an example of how good things come in this life, but everything has an end. I haven’t been able to connect with Marc recently, so his Facebook page is floating out there alone, lost in space so to speak. But if you’re interested in openable octagonal windows, the video below explains what to look for. You’ll see a couple of openable, maintenance-free windows from Marc that I installed in a house I built. They’re made with a solid, rot-proof, maintenance-free material that I haven’t seen used in this way before.
