We have been making a fair few fixed louvres/ plantation shutters over the last few days. These are to match existing.

Happy monday to you all. We survived the heat wave (closed the factory a few times early last week). Here is a sliding window we are working on at the moment.
Old Doors New Doors
Finished Product
We are often asked to reproduce / match existing windows and doors and sashes that have seen better days. Here are a pair of rebated meranti doors we have just finished today.
Colonial bars
Finished Product, Work in progressWe are making a series of cedar frames with colonial bars. They will be sent off and some of the frames will be assembled on site to make a bay window (about an hour south of Adelaide). I am also trying out a new glass cleaning product which I must say is fantastic.
Arches – removal of old and new.
Finished Product, Work in progressThese frames were REALLY rotten. Managed to salvage the leadlight panel. Client to render the outside of the walls.
Timber to Aluminium Bay window

Leichardt Job
Finished ProductWell, 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.
It was quite hard to get any good photos, due to the closeness of fences and trees etc.
Factory Floor
UncategorizedTimber continues to be a supply issue. Hard if not possible to source long lengths of certain timbers. One supplier sent me a pack list of 7 small packs.
I ordered 5 of them and he replied saying 2 had been sold already. Blink and you miss it.
Wood glue supplier has been waiting on his orders since august 21. We have bought the last he has, and will need to use a level up in glue (increase in $$$) instead once our regular glue runs out.
Laminate glass from one of our main suppliers doubled about 2 weeks ago. others have jumped by at least 25%.
