Pressure treated softwood has superior rot resistance to hardwood and once decorated, it will far outlast a uPVC window.

To ensure the window was weather-tight against the tiles, we fitted rebated linings which seal the edges.

This new window was fitted as part of extensive modernisation work to the original 1904 Grade II listed former Police Station.

Despite appearing quite simple, this window is rich in design features; slim and elegant stiles, a turning piece with beaded edge to break-up the facade and we also copied the extra-thick 1 ¼ glazing bars on the original, which were designed to keep the apprehended in! Built in pressure treated pine, these should still be protecting and serving the occupants in another 120 years’ time.
