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. To learn more about how Georgetown Development can help you incorporate these windows into your next custom home design or room to room renovation, please visit www.georgetowndevcorp.com.

Everyone has their favorite room in a home. For some, it’s the living room, for some the bathroom and for many, especially in the DC Metro area, it’s the kitchen. At Georgetown Development, we’re always looking at new and innovative ways to update kitchens of any size so we’re always full of ideas when our clients ask us “what would you do with this space?”

One item we love that is guaranteed to knock the socks off of any foodie in your home is this electric drop-in induction cooktop from Electrolux. The cooktop’s Infinite cooking system creates heat only after sensing a pan on the surface. Not only that, but the surface responds only to the diameter of the pot or pan that’s been placed on the cooktop. Other features include Power-Assist, which provides a 25 percent increase in power to bring large pots to boil faster, and 15 preset touch settings for digital heat control.

We love Electrolux’s sleek design and at Georgetown Development, we can help you deisgn your new custom kitchen around this innovative product or any other product you’ve got your eye on this holiday season.

It’s summer in Washington, DC so you know what that means; heat, humidity and a nice cool shower. But with new Water Sense guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are your cold showers coming to an end?

As water conservation becomes increasingly more important for many areas across the U.S., and because showering accounts for approximately 17 percent of residential indoor water use, low-flow showerheads (or other conservation-minded plumbing products, for that matter) are not going away.

So, does this mean that your high-blast shower has to come to an end? Not necessarily. Click here to view some new, water saving shower heads from manufacturers all over the world. At Georgetown Development, we understand how important it is not only to install products that compliment each home design but are also in compliance with DC regulations.
