Recently, Peter and I traveled to the Marvin Window factory in Warroad, Minnesota. This was Peter's fifth time out there and my first. Through demonstrations, lectures, and tours, the window and door company educates professionals such as architects, dealers and installers, about its many products. For some members of our tour group, seeing windows that they had designed or specified, in various stages of construction, was one of the highlights. Using everything from basic hand tools to the latest in computer-controlled machinery, hundreds of people work to make finished windows out of raw materials.
Any designer who attends takes away not only his or her required continuing-education credits, but also a greater appreciation and understanding of the many things that must occur to make drawings and ideas into important building components.
