Aluminium Window installs

Finished Product, Work in progress

Here are 2 recent jobs where we replaced steelframe windows with aluminium framing… one job is PART REMOVAL of the steel frame – we cut all the bars, sashes, glass out – but keep the perimeter steel frame in the wall. New windows slide into the opening and are clad both sides with trim. The other job is a complete removal of the steel frame window.

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.

Aluminium to Cedar Window install

Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progress

Yesterday we removed 2 old aluminium sliding windows (the original timber frames were still hidden behind them and also had to be removed).

We kept the internal linings, nosing and aves as they were in good condition and there was no need to replace them. But more care is required when removing the existing frames so as to not damage those internal timbers.

We replaced them with new cedar single hung windows. Dummy side sashes (they dont move). Locks, screen and operated with spiral balances (black tubes that hold the sash up and down – as opposed to weights and pulleys in a box frame window (we we also make).

We are flat out as the year winds down. So much so, i’ve had no time to post our works – even the more interesting ones.  So keep in mind #thewindowmanSA on instagram has more photos as it’s quicker for me to do so.

Wed and Thurs we removed 2 corner timber windows which had extensive water rot.

We did one set each day.
