Garden & Specialty Windows

Bring the outdoors in — growing space, extra light, and unique architectural shapes

Garden Windows: A Mini Greenhouse for Your Kitchen

A garden window projects outward from the wall of your home — typically above a kitchen sink — creating an enclosed glass alcove with its own shelf space. Three glass sides and a glass roof let sunlight in from multiple angles, making it an ideal spot for growing fresh herbs, housing small plants, or simply displaying decorative items in a naturally lit setting.

Beyond the practical benefits, a garden window adds visual interest to your kitchen both inside and out. The exterior projection creates an architectural detail that enhances curb appeal, while the interior glass box floods the area with natural light. If you spend a lot of time at your kitchen sink, a garden window transforms that view into something genuinely enjoyable.

Suburban Construction installs garden windows throughout Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and the surrounding region. We custom-order each unit to fit your existing opening and handle all finish work for a clean, professional result.

Specialty Windows: When Standard Shapes Won't Do

Not every window opening is a standard rectangle. Many homes — especially older craftsman, Victorian, or custom-built properties — feature arched, circular, half-round, or other geometrically unique window openings. Specialty windows are custom-fabricated to fit these openings precisely, preserving the architectural character of your home while upgrading the energy performance.

Common specialty shapes we supply and install include:

✓Half-round and full-round windows for transom and decorative applications
✓Arched windows to complement curved door entries and formal rooms
✓Eyebrow and elliptical windows for attic and gable applications
✓Pentagon and octagon windows for custom accent applications
✓Trapezoid and triangle windows for vaulted ceiling areas

Have an Unusual Opening?

Don't assume that unusual window shapes can't be replaced with energy-efficient glass. In most cases, we can source a matching specialty unit that preserves the look of your home while dramatically upgrading its performance. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
