During a home’s conception phase, Georgetown Development is always working to come up with innovative designs utilizing materials that will not only meet a homeowner’s vision, but also create a living space that’s unique. For many homeowners in the Washington DC metro area, green design is a hot topic and many of our customers are looking to use products that combine green materials with design.

Today’s market is full of options when it comes to eco-friendly natural wood, so when we came across this new flooring from We Cork, we were excited to incorporate this material into our next custom home. We Cork’s Eco-Nomical series is a premium glueless floating floor, made with recycled wine stoppers. Like other cork flooring, it’s durable, sound absorbing and most importantly, comfortable under foot. Availble in four colors, We Cork’s Eco-Nomical series is easy to install and adds a sustainable element to any home

Many of us envision the perfect morning, walking downstairs and opening the windows to let the sun shine in. Rarely does this happen, but at Georgetown Development, we aim to please! For all of those craving their Snow White moment, we would like to present the Push Out French Casement window from Marvin.

The Push Out French Casement windows is the newest addition to the company’s Ultimate Casement line. The window has traditional push-out hardware that opens with a quarter turn of a handle and features the company’s clever wash mode that allows exterior glass to be washed from the inside. Rather than the typical middle support, the two sashes join at the stiles within a single frame, like a French door, resulting in unobstructed views. The aluminum-clad window has a Kynar 500 finish and can be made in a 72-inch-by-72-inch size.

The push out window can drastically change the look and feel of any home exterior adding a level of luxury from the outside.
