Windows Delivered and installed

Working in the industry, I have been looking forward to this day since we planned what our windows would look like on the floor plan all those months ago. And, I am happy to report I am not disappointed.

The two front bedroom windows are 2400h x 2100w each and are basically floor to ceiling glass - they look great (just won't worry about the cleaning they will bring).

We have many large fixed panels of glass in the house, most of which span 2400h - loving the glass and the feeling of space.

The rear 4 panel Alfresco door has also had the frame installed - can't wait to see this with the panels installed later.

The colour we chose was precious silver pearl, and has a lovely glitter / pearliest shimmer to it. Should look really good when we render the brick work after hand over.

There were two little issues however - seems the window company made a few errors. Our main bedroom window was made approx 100mm too short in height, and one of the front bedroom windows were made in the incorrect configuration - they were supposed to be a mirror image of one another, but instead, we received two of the same configuration. We rang our SS immediately, who said he had already discussed this with the supplier, and new windows were being arranged.

Aside from these little problems, we are very happy with our window selections.

The house has also started to be wrapped - its really feeling like a house now!
 
Tomorrow the gutter and faschia will be done, and more wrapping.

It only took two weeks but.......

..... our frames are up and finished.

Our SS warned us that there might be a few hiccups with the steel frame - its only the second steel frame coral has done. Seems he was right.

The weather here hasn't helped either. Our site was literally a mud pit.

Anyway - they are finished now and everything looks really good. The frame feels really strong and is dead straight.

We are very happy customers!
