Minnesota State Capitol

Case Study

Minnesota State Capitol

The majestic State Capitol building in St. Paul, Minnesota was in a state of deterioration: on the outside, the regal marble exterior design, completed in 1905, was crumbling.

The state embarked on a $272 million, four-phase restoration plan in 2013, with tasks including replacing plumbing and electrical systems, boosting energy efficiency, improving access, replacing the roof and repairing all of the crumbling stone.

Another major part of the project was restoring the building’s original wood windows, which had been covered over with aluminum windows 30 years ago with Accoya wooden windows.

Coatings & Finishes

A fully factory coating is strongly recommended for Accoya windows. A variety of colors and finishes have been tested by leading coating manufacturers with outstanding results. Some examples can be seen below but the possibilities are endless.

Accoya replaces rotten softwood

Case Study

Accoya replaces rotten softwood

The owners of the Chagford Old Rectory decided it was time to replace their windows and french doors. Over the years they have been repaired and maintained but the original windows, now over 130 years old, were unsalvageable. The original wooden windows were so severely weathered they had rotted beyond repair.

To retain the original aesthetic of the property but far improve the durability of the windows, the homeowners chose Accoya wood as the replacement material. Opting for wood allowed for a more authentic style which could be handcrafted. Some of the windows were unusual sizes, so custom windows were a necessity. Accoya wood was chosen for its durability, stability and sustainability, alongside its low maintenance properties.
