Sourcing black windows

Having a tough time to source black windows/patio doors. Thinking of opening up the kitchen/dining room area in the back. I’ve also seen some beautiful iron black french doors, where do i begin to look to find these kind of doors?

  1. I’ve installed Bliss-nor Am windows in various projects and they are beautiful and very well insulated. The are a bit pricey but cheaper than Hopes and just as nice. The have low and clean profiles so the frames won’t be so large like aluminum doors. The installer is Wayne Conklin for the NYC area and he’s a nice guy to deal with but you’ll have to go through a contractor for his work usually.

  2. Keep in mind that Brooklyn mosquitoes come straight from hell so you need to make sure you get good screen doors with that setup or you will never actually open them up.

  3. I’d like to do a combo glass door/wall of windows (far in the future when I can afford to), and I have some preliminary questions for people who have made this change:

    – How do you keep the room from being cold with that much window exposure?
    – What have people advised you in terms of security? (We’ve been burglarized once, then I installed bars in the windows.)

    Thanks for any info you can share.
