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.

Mill (raw) aluminium, ready for delivery to the powdercoater for painting as “NOTRE DAME “

 

This is what windows and doors look like after being cut, docked, machined from the raw extrusions. next stop the powdercoater to paint them – in this case a colour called NOTRE DAME will be used. then we get the painted extrusions back, check they are ok and then assemble them ready for the next step after that – glazing.
