Aluminium Awning Window

Finished Product

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.

Back for 2020

Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progress

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.
