Leichardt Job

Finished Product

Well, for a change for us we manufactured timber windows and doors, then the boss drove up to NSW with them, whilst myself (production manager) and our main installer flew across.

we spend the Easter break installing 3 hinged doors, a sliding door, new sashes for front existing windows, 2 new spiral balance hung lift up windows, an awning window, a large fixed lite window and a sliding window.

a mixture of double glazed glass and comfort plus low-E.

we had primed the windows/doors prior to heading to NSW. the raw timber had to be done on site.

It was quite hard to get any good photos, due to the closeness of fences and trees etc.

EASTER BREAK

Uncategorized

Hello to all looking at the WINDOW MAN account.

We are closing the factory today early as George, myself and Andrew are off to Sydney to install windows over the Easter break there.

We will be back Wednesday morning.

If you are sending emails etc, we will respond when we are back in Adelaide.

thanks for your understanding and patience.

Timber continues to be a supply issue. Hard if not possible to source long lengths of certain timbers. One supplier sent me a pack list of 7 small packs.

I ordered 5 of them and he replied saying 2 had been sold already. Blink and you miss it.

Wood glue supplier has been waiting on his orders since august 21. We have bought the last he has, and will need to use a level up in glue (increase in $$$) instead once our regular glue runs out.

Laminate glass from one of our main suppliers doubled about 2 weeks ago. others have jumped by at least 25%.

as per the design of an architect. timber infill panel in white trans laminate glass
bringing in some lengths of hemlock we managed to source from a retired ex-joinery guy.
