Alum to timber install
Uncategorizedthis morning we removed an aluminium garden bay window in a kitchen, and replaced it with a more traditional window that would have originally been there.
This is the aluminium window we were to remove. This is to coincide with a kitchen refit inside. note the roof- that actually opens!
Window removed, and the opening exposed. You can see how much silicon on the sides (and head) were used on the alum window.
New Cedar Window. Quads outside, lining and aves on the inside. new kitchen bench will slide right up against the window sill.
Bespoke Custom Door assembly
Uncategorized, Work in progressAfter a few days out on work sites installing some doorframes, and a bay window repair, I’ve come to the factory and seen the lads assembling this exceptional custom door. Just looking at it midway through assembly gives a sense of how much time and work is involved in this sort of project.

Commercial Partition
Finished ProductBack from the Easter Break. This photo is the job we did last week at McClaren Vale. Enclosing one side of a verandah with commercial frame and laminate glass. Originally it had roll down blinds but the poor kids were too cold from the wind. Had to install between the large steel poles that were existing. You can see the notch out on the flashings we had to custom make at the bottom of the poles. On the side we added a smaller panel 1100mm high to stop wind as requested by the builder.
