Here are some photos of some arched windows we recently made. Lots of labour in these, but the end result is a work of art.

Today I have done a bit of everything; helping the lads out on all these odd jobs for the start of the year. Always with a camera in hand, here is some of the things we are doing today.
Here we are making a large arched window with colonial bars, top down photo showing us setting up the template etc.
Glazing some sashes with colonial bars…. all in cedar.
Here is mill (raw) alumimium commercial frame we have engineered to a curve. we will then make a window from it.
This job was very technical and potentially dangerous.
2nd floor timber window which was floor to ceiling height was rotten.
Original Window. Rotten frames with 4mm float glass which is incredibly unsafe for the location and size of the glass panels. Not sure when it was made, but very illegal by today’s standards.
New clear anodise commercial frame with 6.38 clear comfort plus glass. Arched commercial frame with sliding door. The timber facade was for the owner to replace with a new metal flashing.
Inside view of the new window / door combination. The balcony is now usable whereas before as just a window it was merely decoration. Glazed with clear comfort plus Low-E glass.
We had to erect scaffolding on the outside balcony to remove the existing window. We found the glass to be 4mm float- incredibly dangerous for something that height, and size. Taking the original glass out required delicate care to safely remove.
