Currently American Thermal window is operated out of two show rooms, one in Chicago and one in Niles. We now have 3 generations of Johnsons making American Thermal the company you know and love today. Iver’s children, Iver Junior & Andrea, and grandchildren (not pictured) continue to work hard to provide Chicagoland the best windows and doors available.
