Historic building gets a sustainable makeover

Posted by on 23 March 2021

This beautiful historic building in downtown Fort Scott, Kansas was recently refurbished and given a new lease of life. 

The downtown Fort Scott area is on the National Historic Registry, so care was taken to preserve the charm of the old building - including the windows - while ensuring modern upgrades and environmentally responsible options. 

The WinVent windows were carefully built to match the originals and are protected and decorated with IFS Coatings 400SD Brick Red powder, for a high performance finish without the environmental impact of liquid paint. 

Don Wheeler of Winvent Windows explains” We are so proud to be involved with this project. Seeing this beautiful old building restored and once again bringing pride to the area is fantastic. The fact that our windows also deliver modern protection and more sustainable features, like the IFS Coatings powder, is the icing on the cake.”
