New Windows in London

The requirement

To replace and replicate two glazed units leading onto a balcony which had deteriorated. Hinged internal side shutters were also required.

The out come

A set of well-crafted windows that augment this high-end London Townhouse and restores some of the original detailing and craftsmanship.

How we made it

The existing windows/doors were removed to take accurate measurements of the opening, and to take sections of each profile for replication. The existing openings were boarded over temporarily to provide security and weatherproofing. The frame was constructed from Oak, which was planned and carved to match the exact dimensions and profiles of the original window. Two window dividers per door were profiled to match that of the original. The hinged shutters were copied over to new oak, with the inset panels and surrounding profiles matched to the original. The entire unit was primed and painted ahead of installation. Bespoke glass panels were formed and implemented between the dividers. The original iron mongery was severely damaged; but were reforged, polished, oiled, and installed. Each unit was transported and installed on-site.
