VIDEO TOUR: 81-year-old Marc Smith and His Octagonal Windows

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 been looking lately. That’s what led me to 80+year-old Marc Smith. You can see 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), and he does a better job than anyone else I’ve seen in this niche market. Check out my video tour of a couple of openable, maintenance-free windows from Marc that 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.
