About us
The best design doesn't
compete for attention.

Element 13 designs and manufactures architectural aluminum systems for modern spaces—clean lines, minimal visual weight, and carefully considered details that keep the focus on the opening, not the hardware.

Our story is built on more than 50 years of combined experience in the window and door industry. After decades spent understanding how architectural openings are designed, manufactured, and installed, our founders created Element 13 to do things with greater intention: simplify the system, refine every detail, and produce solutions that feel as considered as the spaces they complete.

Based in El Segundo, California—where the energy of Los Angeles meets the calm of the coast—we design with a distinctly Southern California perspective: open spaces, natural light, effortless transitions, and an appreciation for architecture that feels both modern and livable.

Every Element 13 system is developed to quietly serve the architecture. Because the best design does not compete for attention—it makes the entire space feel better.

Bring your vision
into focus.

Whether you are planning a new project or looking for a more refined architectural solution, our team is ready to help you bring the opening together.
