Triple Box Sash Window

The photos below show a 3-in-one sash window I have been working on. The client asked for a double glazed sash window to match the original style of the windows in the neighbouring properties. The glazing bars and rails are machined slightly larger than traditional ones to accommodate the double glazed units. Low-e units and a draught-proofing system are used for improved thermal efficiency.

I will add further photographs once the window has been glazed and installed.

Georgian sash windows

I recently constructed and installed four Georgian style sash windows for a property in Brighton. Despite the fact that the house was a listed building, the original windows had been replaced with UPVC windows. The owners wished to have them restored to the traditional style . The photographs below show various stages of the construction with the final picture showing the completed windows installed at the rear of the property.

Artist’s studio / Garden shed

I was asked to construct, install and glaze some very tall windows and a door for a garden studio. The client is a Brighton-based artist & designer who required extra space to enable him to work from home. The front wall of the studio is formed of five glazed frames each 10’2″ (3.1m) tall and is constructed from softwood using traditional joinery techniques. The following photographs show the work in progress…
