Architect Testimonial
Product: Sosoares
Benchmark Window and Door, with Doc Henry at the helm, is a go-to window and door company. The biggest difference between Benchmark and other window and door reps, is that Benchmark not only has excellent working knowledge of their product lines, but they also understand field conditions and are hands-on when it comes to dissecting real life installations. This cannot be underestimated in this day and age.
Since I design mostly modern oceanfront homes with large expanses of glass, I instantly fell in love Sosoares, a European window manufacturer Benchmark represents out of Portugal. Sosoares has tremendous flexibility in size, configuration, and strength that far surpasses that of other window and door manufacturers. And to boot, Sosoares’s aesthetic and functionality are breathtaking.
The combination of working with Benchmark and Sosoares has allowed my design work to stand out as well as hold up to the test of time in severe weather conditions. I highly recommend both companies. They share a deep level of integrity in their work.
