SoHo holds the largest collection of cast-iron architecture in the world, almost all of it within the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. Built between the 1850s and 1890s as manufacturing and warehouse space, these buildings became the city’s defining artist-loft neighborhood — vast open floors with tall, repeating windows set into ornate cast-iron facades. Those original windows, often wood double-hungs or steel sashes, are integral to the look that gives SoHo its protected landmark status. They are also typically single-glazed and drafty. Replacing them demands a careful hand: any visible change must satisfy the Landmarks Preservation Commission while restoring the comfort and efficiency a modern loft residence requires.
We deliver window replacement engineered for SoHo’s landmark cast-iron facades. Our custom units replicate the slim sightlines, proportions, and repeating rhythm the Landmarks Preservation Commission requires, paired with insulated low-E glass for real performance gains. We offer steel-look aluminum profiles that capture the original industrial aesthetic, plus solar-control glazing to manage heat in light-filled lofts. Each opening is hand-measured to match cast-iron bays precisely, and our crews work with the care these protected interiors demand.
We will visit your loft, take precise measurements, and present window options that satisfy landmark requirements while improving comfort.
