New double glazed bay window formation
Double glazing conversion
This landing window was rotten beyond economic repair, so it had to be replaced. Note the missing astragal from the bottom pane. The window was removed to make a template, and the flashed glass carefully removed and cleaned up for use in the new window.
The old window was removed to reveal stonework in good condition, so it was steam cleaned, re-pointed and the adjacent plasterwork neatly checked into the stone, ready for the new window to be installed.
The newly installed window uses as much of the original glass as possible. Chase astragals were re-instated along the bottom together with new handmade flashed glass replica panes. A new internal sill was added in the same material as the window to finish the window off.
Double glazed bathroom window
Major renovation works were carried out on this bathroom, including the replacement of an old aluminium single glazed window.
The new double glazed timber sash and case window installed, improving energy efficiency and restoring a period feature.
Double glazed bay window formation
Major renovation work was undertaken at this property including stripping lath and plaster to bare stone and insulating. New timber double glazed sash and case windows which matched the original pattern were installed.
New mouldings were commissioned using originals as a templates.
The same formation after the panels have been re-fitted and painted, the room now in use.
Full sill repair
This shows the stage before the old sill is removed. The rotten timber sections on the left and right hand side have been removed in order to facilitate full sill removal.
This is the new sill installed, with new timber stiles and facings. All exterior timber primed and undercoated, ready for the gloss finish.
These pictures show the new timber sections seamlessly blending in with the original. This was carried out as part of a full renovation, so all exterior paint was stripped and the casements sanded, before a coat of primer, undercoat and gloss finish applied.
Double glazing conversion
An example of a double-light window, upgraded from single to double glazing. The original casements were retained, with new sills, draughtproofing, and double glazed sashes. It is less disruptive that fitting entire new windows, and arguably looks as good as entire new windows.
Laylight
This restored laylight was previously in poor condition.The astragals had been removed and the original glass replaced with a sheet of perspex. The placement and dimensions of the original astragals was still visible so an exact replica could be made. Acid etched glass was used for the main panels and borders, with bright cut corner panes.
