Windows

Signature Post and Beam, Inc. is a distributor of the high quality Hurd windows. Hurd is an excellent choice for all your construction needs.

Hurd carries standard size windows but can also create custom windows. With the varied types of wall enclosures and wall thicknesses, Hurd can match your jamb thickness to your specific needs . Hurd carries a large choice of wood species to match the wood species of your timber frame or the trim in your home. Many window manufacturers will only allow one wood choice but Hurd will let you mix your window woods throughout your window package. Not only can you select the right look on the interior of your windows but Hurd offers a wide array of colors for their extruded aluminum finish on the exterior, with an option for an anodized finish.

• Wood Species – Pine , White Oak, Cherry , Maple, Alder – clear or knotty, Mahogany, Red Oak, Douglas Fir, or Lyptus (This is the trade name of a wood made from a hybrid of two species of Eucalyptus. The two species are quick growing. Thus quick to harvest. Grown on plantations in Brazil, it is marketed as an environmentally friendly alternative to oak, cherry, and other wood species.)
• Aluminum exterior
• Anodized finish option

Hurd is well known for the energy efficiency of their frame design and glass package. A wide selection of energy and UV protection packages are available. They also carry the LowE366 Neat with Preserve that allows the window to be practically self cleaning! Having high quality, energy efficient windows and doors is equally important as having high R value insulated walls and roof system in your home.

Signature Post and Beam, Inc. strives to build as green as possible and we feel that Hurd helps us in this quest. Hurd treats all the wood in their windows with Coreguard.

CoreGuard is the best wood protection in the window industry. And only Hurd has it. CoreGuard actually penetrates through the entire cross section of wood; all the way to the very core of the wood. It contains three active fungicides, an insecticide, plus water repellents to provide complete protection against pests and rotting. Most importantly, only CoreGuard has a final, proprietary ingredient that goes completely through the wood for the ultimate in protection. CoreGuard is patent-pending and naturally organic, so it’s environmentally friendly. Since CoreGuard repels water, Hurd windows have superior dimensional stability against warping and swelling. We build our timber frames to last for generations and we want the windows to match this same quality.

Engraving

Signature Post & Beam, Inc. can engrave text on various parts of your timber frame. It's a nice way to personalize your timber frame and make your mark that will last for generations.

Builderscrete

Builderscrete is a unique , ground-breaking building material with many diverse uses. Its patented blend of natural materials can be used in bricks, blocks, panels, retaining walls or pavers and its impressive performance and benefits to the environment will astound you. Builderscrete is an American owned and American made, hand crafted product. It is gorgeous especially when mixed with a timber frame.

• Striking Appearance... each brick and block are hand crafted giving your home a character and elegance that is impossible to duplicate. You have the ability to design a look by choosing the size, color, texture and shape that everyone will admire.
• Amazing Performance...The characteristics of this product are impressive. Builderscrete provides excellent sound absorption and a thermal insulation (R Value) when using the super-insulated block series. Builderscrete unique composition gives you all the benefits of brick, yet allows you to nail or screw into it like timber.
• Wonderful Durability... Builderscrete is designed to last for generations. Independent tests prove Builderscrete has the highest possible fire resistance rating for building materials in Australia where it was initially designed. It is impervious to termites and rot, and even bullet-proof! The color will not fade and the bricks, blocks panels and pavers will not wear away when exposed to extreme weather conditions. It even has superior bracing values for those in earthquake prone or hurricane areas.
• Saves the Environment...Builderscrete is amazingly environmentally friendly all the way from its raw ingredients through to its everyday use. Its main ingredient is recycled timber waste (cellulose), so no tree has ever been cut down specifically to make Builderscrete. The bricks are air dried which is vastly more energy efficient than the conventional kiln dried and fired process of clay bricks. Builderscrete reduces your carbon footprint by locking up the carbon in the wood waste which would normally end up in the atmosphere. The high insulation value of super insulated block series also provides great energy efficiency for your home.
• Cost Efficiency... You may expect a hand crafted brick with all these qualities to cost quite a bit. However Builderscrete is cost effective from start to finish. Because the Builderscrete are typically lighter and larger than conventional masonry materials, they are easier to lay which reduces cost of construction and increases the pace of construction. Additionally with many of the Builderscrete products, you won't need insulation, acid cleaning (a standard procedure for clay fired bricks), paint and much more.
