The doors,hinges, perimeter jambs and head, and the seals were all damaged in the storm. only a new bifold would be appropriate, repair was out of the question.

Cedar Doorframes

Finished Product

Nothing fancy here, but here are 11 doorframes off to a building site. each is 3000 high with small hi lites and no sills.  To suit 2700 high doors.

Doorframes are made here on an almost daily basis, and though unexciting compared to some of our other work, is a staple of what we do here at THE WINDOW MAN.

Need a doorframe? whether standard or unusual sizes, contact us for a quote.

Primrose aluminium sliding patio door with flydoor

Finished Product

Nothing fancy, but a very common type of sliding door we make;

this one is 2100 high x 1800 wide (pretty standard sizing). Clear laminate glass and a flydoor.  Assembled and tested in our steel jig to ensure squareness and smooth operation.

Probably the most common sliding door we make.

Aluminium Awning Window

Finished Product

We make a fair few of these style aluminium windows.  Commercial frame (101mm x 44.5mm) with an awning sash and lockable whitco chain winder.  Fly screen on inside.

The awning has no hinges or stays, and instead has a hook on the head and a matching hook on the top of the sash.  No moving on this turning point means nothing will wear out and break (as do hinges and non-friction stays after years of use)

Thought id take a photo before delivering it to a job site this morning.
