Evanston is a culturally rich city on Chicago's North Shore, home to Northwestern University and a vibrant arts community. The city features beautiful historic architecture, including many Victorian and Prairie-style homes that are integral to the community's character.
Evanston's lakefront location on Lake Michigan brings intense lake-effect weather, including driving winds and heavy snow, which makes properly sealed and insulated windows essential for comfort and energy efficiency.
Evanston's historic homes require windows that respect the architectural heritage while providing modern performance. Many homeowners are replacing aging wooden windows with vinyl alternatives that replicate period-appropriate styles while delivering superior energy efficiency and low maintenance.

Finding windows that matched the character of our 1908 Victorian home was a challenge until we found Panes. They custom-manufactured double-hung windows with divided lites that look period-perfect but perform like modern energy-efficient windows. — Patricia H., South Evanston
