Glazing

If you've ever seen Channel 4's Grand Designs you'll have seen plenty of projects where they rush, but ultimately fail, to get the building weathertight before winter sets in. The two most crucial aspects to achieve this are getting the roof on and the windows in.

So with our unexpected late summer weather over, and autumn returning, it's great to be able to report that much of the final roof covering is now installed along with the first of the windows. The photo below shows the roof of the preschool, with the bulk of the external roof cladding inplace and the skylight opening formed ready for the glazing. If you look very closely at the righthand side of the photo you'll see that the windows for the offices have just been installed.


The rest of the glazing will be installed over the next few weeks, helping to make the building weathertight and allow other trades to start work inside.
