Restored and Double-Glazed Stairwell

This stairwell is a modern addition to the original house and was created some years ago. Unfortunately the single glazing and double glazed roof panels had failed and leaked, and combined with condensation the internal Rimu joinery had become badly water marked.

Our solution with the client was to re-line the internal joinery with new Rimu and replace the glass with Double Glazing. We used a 28mm unit, giving the maximum insulation with Argon filling. In addition we integrated Laminate glass in the double glazing to reduce UV damage to the carpet and furnishings.

The staircase had been poorly made of MDF and our client wanted a more decorative effect to match the other Rimu joinery. Our solution was to line the existing stairs with solid and veneered Rimu, once we had strengthened it.

Look at the photos to see the difference:

Double Glazed and Restored Sash Windows. Mt Victoria, Wellington.

Before

and After..

These sash windows had suffered from long-term condensation causing black mould on the timber inside. During the process of double glazing it was easy for us to sand the timber to remove the deep-seated mould. Once the windows are re-installed, we put our specially formulated Reviver Oil and Wax Polish on to provide the final finish. Note that the timber hasn't been sanded so much as to remove all the character from the surface and keep the integrity of the home.

What a View!!

And now the owners can enjoy it whilst keeping warm behind the 28mm double glazed windows with Argon that we installed.

New French Doors and Windows were made to upgrade this old Sunroom, Double Glazed of course, and the old leaky single glazed roof panels were replced with double glazing and a special stainless steel flashing was made to order to ensure no future leaks.
