Maunakea Tower

Built in 1977, Maunakea Tower provides affordable housing to the city of Honolulu. A large renovationof the 32−story building began in 2023, with window replacement a huge part of the effort. Quaker’s E-Series windows checked all the boxes.

• The building contains many different types of windows: Casements, Project-Outs, Horizontal Sliders and Fixed. Quaker’s E-Series has all of those.
• Casement windows met egress and ADA requirements.
• Because most of the openings being replaced contained as many as 6 window units, either side-by-side or stacked – or both in some cases — structural mull systems were an absolute necessity toensure proper windload resistance, on every floor.
• 4x4 post mulls and special corner post mulls added to Quaker’s ability to be a one–source supplier.
• Client was looking for an anodized Dark Bronze finish. Quaker offered something even better. A painted Dark Bronze with a 2604 finish that resembles anodized. Quaker’s “Resembles” colors offer 4 distinct advantages over traditional anodized: lesser cost, consistent color appearance, shorter lead times, and a longer warranty.
• All windows were palletized and loaded smartly into shipping containers for efficient delivery between the mainland and the Island of Oahu.
