Yesterday we removed 3 old aluminium sliding windows which had 3mm float glass, and replaced them with new slightly larger residential framing( depth 60mm) glazed with 6.38 clear laminate glass. Awnings with chain winders and screens. The result was quite dramatic, with a fair few compliments as people passed by.
3 of us on the first day, and1more morning to just finish some angles on the outside.
Just got back from north Adelaide where we removed 2 fire damaged windows and replaced with new cedar ones.
I was asked today – do you make doors?
we sure do! I decided to put a few door photos we have made into one pic. take a look!
doors doors doors and more doors
You will note the website almost always shows off the lovely timber joinery work we do.
We also have do aluminium windows and doors – both residential and commercial grade.
Today a client will pick up their custom sized bathroom awning window with spotswood obscure glass as requested.
Our residential window is 60mm deep, which is a little more deep than a lot of other window frames made which sit around 40-50mm.
You can see the flyscreen sits on top of the winder block so you can wind out the sash and keep the screen in place.
Well we have been back to work after the Christmas break – George and I since Jan 8th, and the rest of our staff on the 23rd.
Whilst I have been uploading more pictures through Instagram, I must admit I’ve been a bit lax on our website here. Here are some of the things we have been up to – I could post a lot more, but I need to get back to glazing some sashes.
here is hoping to a successful and happy 2020 for all.
Some cedar casement windows complete and ready to be picked up
here is the new window, western red cedar.
Scissor winders + stays and latches for the hardware.
Here you can see one of the other windows, internal view. Notice the scissor winder hardware. Top panels of glass obtained from the wonderful team at the Glass Emporium, as per clients request.
In our factory, we are running up door stiles for assembly. Notice; full timbers (not blocks glued together with a veneer) and mortice + tennon joins. In the background you can see the solid 150×50 EX WRC timber pack which is how it all starts out.
here are 4 arched fixed lite windows which I need to take to the glazier to get the glass cut. each one is slightly different based on the template supplied.
also- I have set up an INSTAGRAM page for our photos. go check out #thewindowmanSA on Instagram !

If you scroll a bit back you might see a raked frame in our factory. here it is now installed (today).
old and new window
For some reason we have had an influx of just timber flyscreens to make up or rewire. Not just one client, but 3 of them, have all asked for many screens in the same day. Here are some in the middle stage of production. frames are made, but no wire/bead.
Timber flyscreens being made
Today we installed 8.76 OBSERVA glass into c-channel framing we had put up a few days earlier. It is in a medical clinic. the staff can see into the patients room, without the patients unable to see back into their office.
8.76 observa glass
this type of glass works best when you have a dark internal room, looking out into a bright room.
Our monday install job was a removal of timber windows, a small wall cut and installing new window and sliding door onto deck.
