Box window

6 years ago

I wonder if you could you tell me if the box window was a complete unit ( if so who produced it) or were the elements put together onsite? We are just about to start a build with very similar windows. Thank you

The window was put together by the window subcontractor Vintage Windows based in South Wales. The window supplier was based in Devon - Sunset Windows as I recall. The windows are Composite type, Aluminium outer and Timber inner frame, from Denmark. This bay window was ordered as one unit. It was delivered as separate elements and put together on site. Please note how the side windows are opening and the front pane is fixed. This allowed the front pane to be very large and without transom or mullion divisions.

Thank you it's really kind of you to give me this info. Our window is very similar with the side opening. We are having difficulty working out how to finish the roof. It is spec'd as zinc but as we live on an island it's not so easy to get someone over for such a small job. Was the roof part of the window unit?

Panth, Frankly speaking , it doesn't sound a great idea. If it's a professional advice by your architect then surely they must have a plan in mind but if it's just a wishful thinking.. then please avoid it. The top and bottom of the windows are getting covered as per the 3D plans. Not a great functional approach. And hanging wall cabinets is something new... Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore

My first suggestion would be to change the layout of the room at bit. this is my suggestion:i also think that you should paint the room in a uniform light colour (preferable white) and also paint the wardrobe in the same colour so it doesn't overpower the entrance and blend in with the room. my second most important suggestion is to increase storage. here are some ideas for that: simple plank shelves with filing boxes and folders with labels can be a cheap and efficient way of storage of study material. here are some links for such folders and boxes: https://www.amazon.in/Elan-Bookshelf-Executive-Certificates-Certificate/dp/B00HWRHKOS/ref=pd_sbs_79_11?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BQE8PBQNYQYXHHDEBAVQ https://www.amazon.in/Corpac-Multipurpose-Durable-Plastic-Storage/dp/B01GBBHT1E/ref=pd_sbs_229_40?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1CC92M79MCJDPWBD53H9 https://www.amazon.in/Aristo-Basket-Medium-Without-Multi/dp/B06WGR811H/ref=pd_sim_229_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JD75V1WW64930CV4NG69 Also the sunlight is the biggest asset of the room and yet the aluminium window is an eyesore. so i would suggest some nuetral shade curtains. and you can play with the colors of the room with the bedsheets. And agree with studio chippan's suggestion of a painting or a family portrait or frame certificates of the kids achievements. Best of Luck, Purva Saksena (Architect)

Yes the top or ‘roof’ to the bay was made by the window installer, in powder coated aluminium, to keep it all in one material by one sub-contractor. Note the roof and base to the bay are both heavily insulated. The glazing is triple rather than double so very good thermally.
