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:
