Henselstone Window and Door Systems started in 2001 with the realization that window and door manufacturers in the United States are behind European manufacturers with respect to technology, design, features, and service. Why is that?

First, energy costs are higher in Europe. As a result, conserving energy has been a major concern for Europeans for many years. Second, insurance companies and government agencies have encouraged legislation mandating better security features. Third, construction is more expensive in Europe. People are very concerned about longevity and quality. Fourth, European manufacturers are mandated to insure proper installation and function of its products.

Rising energy costs, ever larger homes, and dependence on foreign oil have increased energy consumption awareness especially in post 9-11 America. Insurance companies and government agencies have supported legislation mandating storm resistant features in most coastal states. Our multiple lock systems and double seal technology fit perfectly into these requirements. With rising construction costs people are spending more for their homes. As a result, quality and longevity are gaining importance in the US.

In 2004, Henselstone certified all products for Hurricane Resistance and became one of the few companies that can deliver and install pre-finished, hurricane tested, custom designed and produced windows and doors, virtually without size restrictions. In the last years, Henselstone has developed into a company well known for its engineering and product design expertise, in combination with great custom-made products that are delivered and installed with precision anywhere in the Eastern, Southern, and Northern United States. Projects range from hotels and commercial office buildings to condominium buildings, from small residential renovations to beach front mansions with tons of custom designed steel and impact resistant glass. Henselstone is also working with several large developers and builders, providing windows and doors for planned communities. The first large planned community for which Henselstone provided all windows and doors was featured in the October 2005 issue of Coastal Living Magazine.

We are off to a great start as a proven partner in design, manufacturing, installation and after-sale-service. Our concept is unique in this industry. Henselstone created the perfect union of the great technical capabilities of a large manufacturer and the service capabilities of a local window distributor.
