CASE STUDY: Flush Fit Sash & Bay Windows

CASE STUDY: FLUSH FIT SASH WINDOWS & BAY WINDOWS

We recently completed a very different looking project than the norm, we were installing a flush window profile with Irish Oak frames and Chartwell Green sashes.

This profile is very effective at imitating traditional timber windows and particularly suits an older building were timber profiles would have been originally used.

On this property there were brick arches with timber architrave details that had to be taken out with the existing windows; using the wide selection of trims, we were able to create the desired finish the customer was hoping for.

Firstly the old arches are carefully removed and used as a template to make a perfectly fitting new arch, using our frame matching trim. This new arch is then stuck on using expanding foam and silicone. Matching colour silicone is then used on top of this for weather proofing and to hide any irregularities in the brick arch that may become apparent with the removal of the old timber frames. The finish is very effective and achieves a much fresher look for your house.

A bay on this job also gives us the opportunity to show some of the processes involved in correctly installing a load bearing bay safely, while also minimising risk of damage to your property.

On this project we used two heavy duty steel acrows to support the weight above the bay. This allows us to remove the existing bay windows without risk of any movement in the bay roof or of the interior ceiling plaster.

The old windows are removed and then the new frames are installed using adjustable bay poles. These are securely fixed and tightened between the bay roof and the solid base of the bay. Each acrow is slowly loosened to make sure there is no movement during the transfer of the weight to the new bay window poles. After this is done the bay can be trimmed and finished.

It’s great fitting these type of jobs that really stand out from the rest; it is pleasing to know that when people are drawn to look at them they will be looking at a top quality product fitted to the highest standards.
