Can you see the steel posts just inside the frame – on both sides? this meant on-site notching of the sliding sill and head to suit, and then cladding the entire beam in cedar to blend/match.
That post next to the sliding door panel is the steel beam. it has been clad in cedar, and you can see the Kapur sill has also been patched/reblocked to look seemless. (the post is slightly wet from wiping the woodglue down).
The double-glazed panels ranged from 70-115kilograms.
This is the 2nd bay window we have installed in the same complex in the last month.
original bull-nose sill was left in place as per strata’s request.
This week we installed this square bay window with double glazing in henley beach.
our old thicknesser has started to make random divots and chunks out of the lengths. we have tried to get repairs to fix it, but alas its not possible.
we’ve had it at this factory for 24 years, about 5 years in the previous site on rosburg road we rented, and how ever long the previous joinery had it – its been a great and long lasting workhorse.
but times wear out all things, so we get to move to the space age with our new modern one. after the easter break we will set it up in the factory.
have a nice easter break to all.
We have a large queue of jobs ongoing at the moment. all different shapes and sizes. mostly cedar, but a few in kapur and meranti as well.
enjoy your weekend.
Well, I was a bit remiss to leave our first post of the year until february… time flies.
We have meranti back in stock after a few short months, cedar still reliably sourced.
some of the things we have been up to lately;
Adelaide Examiner has listed us in their tops of window installers of Adelaide. SDW beat us, but we supply them with their timber frames,windows,doors and sashes as well.
