Roof and glass

Well, things have really moved on appearance wise in the last week. This was the situation on 29th September
As of today, the main pitch is complete and the ridge tiles are on the extension half - we are re-felting the front of the main roof so the ridge tiles will have to wait there. But the big thing is the glass is going in! The bow window looks great - we didn't have it in the original plan but decided on it when we spoke to the window guy a few weeks back. We had planned on a lead edging on the main panes and the blue pattern in the top panels but the window guy questioned it as being a bit busy and Sarah decided to drop the edging - a good move in the end as the lower panels are not that big in the end.

You can't see it in the photo but there are hinges on the opposite side of the lower windows - they can be turned right round for cleaning - a nice bonus. The windows are Synerjy by Synseal. I had never heard of them (I had been looking at Rehau) but according to the Synseal website they are (one of) the largest uPVC manufacturers in the UK - so I hope they are good!


The en-suite window and the front bedroom are now in and looking good. The rear door frames are waiting at the bottom of the picture. Can't wait!

Also, Martin Hope has left Rehau and setup Walkwarm on 0161 7038343. Email Martin on walkwarm@aol.com for UFH or Anhydride Screed. I'll add his website to the supplier links when I get the URL.
