Although all the windows are now in, we need to sort out the finishing on the inside of the windows. These are a bit of mess – they have been altered a number of times over the years and much of the material has either fallen away or never been in place in the first place.
We have decided to box in the windows on the inside, but to used splayed panels just as they would have done originally. This ensures that the maximum amount of light comes in. However, since each of the windows is subtly different, each will have to be built by hand. Before we progress with all the windows we thought we should get one window completed as a sort of prototype. This would also help us to establish exactly how long it takes to do this job.
The original windows had a splayed finish inside. This ensures that as much light as possible comes in through the windows. We have decided to reinstate this finsih as best we can. Window board has been installed, together with the top and the angled sides. All in waterproof MDF.
The first “prototype” internal window finish complete. We have had to take into account that the walls are going to be insulated and plastered. This why the internal finish seems to stand out from the wall at the moment.
Now with “panelling” to the splayed sides and mullion covers. The waterproof MDF is a strange sort of green colour that bizarrely matches the window colour. We aren’t sure of the finished colour on the inside of the windows.
