Yesterday we installed 2x boxframed windows into prepared openings for us. New linings, bullnose sills and arcatraves (to match existing) on the inside, and quad on the outside with foam seal against the brickwork.
16mm double glazed, and with weights ropes and pulleys.
And the day prior we fitted these 2 cedar windows (total removal of existing).
Can you see the steel posts just inside the frame – on both sides? this meant on-site notching of the sliding sill and head to suit, and then cladding the entire beam in cedar to blend/match.
That post next to the sliding door panel is the steel beam. it has been clad in cedar, and you can see the Kapur sill has also been patched/reblocked to look seemless. (the post is slightly wet from wiping the woodglue down).
The double-glazed panels ranged from 70-115kilograms.
We just finished a custom skylite panel which was loaded up for delivery- not 15minutes ago.
1525 x 2875 stop schampfers, timber beaded, solid western red cedar – as per a design given to us by the builder. They plan on having custom leadlight fitted and I should imagine will look very impressive in the ceiling of a home.
Yesterday myself, Tom and Andrew installed this bay window (and another double window which ill add photos later). The original window was rotting away and falling apart. White cathedral glass on top colonial sashes, clear laminate on bottom panels. Sides are fixed/dummy sashes with the middle panel able to be lifted up (screens not in photo but sit on outside.)

Today we went on site to glaze some windows we had manufactured earlier.
all western red cedar, and in the pics below you can see corner window with silicon join glass.
This morning we set up 2 bifolds for installation. here is a photo of the work being carried out. I left the lads there to finish the glazing, so its not a finished photo.
Cedar bifold doors.
1 is 3 panel, other is 5 panel.
We had been asked to remake a rotten gate which was raked (so it could be opened on a slanted hillside driveway).
original gate, clearly worn out and seen better days.
sketch up, showing the dimensions.
Finished product, 2 gates ready for installation.
A lot of time and effort to make these beautiful gates, and everyone is very pleased with the result.
We have just finished this beautiful doorframe.
It has an arched head, awning (wind out) sashes in the side lites with colonial bars.
Double doors, rebated with colonial bars. Hardwood sill.
