Today im posting a few images of some of the weird and wonderful things we are asked to make. These are louvres, fixed plantation shutters, some unusual doors and a door made from solid Oak (a fairly expensive timber compared to cedar or meranti).
Hope you like.
WRC fixed louvres
Solid doors with colonial bars and arched glass. unglazed.
Old and the new plantation shutters. they are a pair of them with rebates.
Solid door in oak.
Those crime shows always have an interrogation room where the detectives can watch the interview with the criminal, without being seen.
That glass is called OBSERVA mirror, and works best with a light/dark ration of at least 5:1.
We made a little one for a client; remember it will work best when the inside room is very dark.
This is a 4 panel sliding door (2 active sliding doors, 2 fixed panels on either end).
size ; 2275 x 2870
glazed with 6.38 clear laminate glass.
Front Door in western red cedar.
This is a finished sliding door, with a flydoor.
Powdercoat is IRONSTONE, and you can see it is sitting within our steel jig to ensure the door is square and works perfectly before being taken by our client.

Here we are making (about 10) fixed louvre frames in western red cedar. Of various sizes.
Fixed Timber Louvres
Just installed these 3 windows and just adding the finishing trims.
the side windows are lift up windows and the centre window is a fixed lite.
they have colonial bars.
Primrose aluminium lift up windows with colonial bars.
The old windows were rotten timber lift ups.
We recently installed 3 windows with colonial bars. All upstairs. 2 were awnings (they can be opened with a chain winder) and one was a fixed lite with a dummy sash (so fixed in a closed position).
here are 2 photos 1 inside 1 out. Painting to be done now its installed.
