Timber to Aluminium Bay window

Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progress

Yesterday we installed a new bay window in aluminium – removing the existing timber frame which had rotted away. Kept the colonial bar look.

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.

Commercial aluminium pool-side frontage

Finished Product, Work in progress
this is the opening we are working on.. note the someof the windows and doors in the background we made and installed. we also fixed the windows around the new pool addition so they comply with pool laws.
getting the frames in.
top panels in (pre-glazed). custom flashing being made to suit (cant make till fitted). note the large lintel above our frame is slightly out of square (not our frame) but will be clad and concealed.
glass going in. a mixture of 6.38 and 10.38 laminate glass
all glazed and trimmed where we can without waiting for custom trims/flashing. there will be a clearshield security door with a door closer fitted to comply with pool law, then the temp fence can go.

How fast this year has flown by. As deadline to our one and only break looms, we are pushing as much work out as possible. Some random work of what has been going on;

A pair of custom cedar gates. The curve was based off a template from the originals.
Gas strut awning window. one of two which will be used in a food/coffee van.

About to fit the hardware to a single hung window (with spiral balances).
Our aluminium awning window frame. It is a 60mm frame, so a little chunkier than most residential frames. Outside view
