Yale Collection of Musical Instruments
Cooper Historical Windows designed, built, and installed historically accurate, energy-efficient low maintenance windows for this rare musical instrument museum. We made the cylinder glass to match the original glass of that period, then built Insulated Glass (IG) units for the replicated windows. We used a very efficient Low-E glass for the interior pane. The window looks like a single pane putty glazed window yet is all wood. While installing the windows we had to create custom environmental boxes for the interior to prevent humidity from entering the building and damaging the instruments. This project demanded unique components and techniques in order to be successful because of its unconventional circumstances.
