This is a beautiful project! I was wondering who's steel windows these are. I'm assuming that the leaded glass is simulated an on insulated glass?

These windows were custom made to match the existing house. The original window company had gone out of business many years ago.The steel frames were sourced though HOPE's Steel windows, but is not one of their standard profiles. They were custom forged in England to drawings we made of the original windows. The glass is true single pane leaded glass and was executed by ROHLF's Stained and Leaded Glass Restoration Studio out of Mount Vernon, NY. We met the energy code with a separate "Energy Panel" single pane of glass attached to the interior wood jambs. The stone casings were cast in rubber molds made from a sample window casing we dismantled during demolition, and then sand-blasted to achieve the "dimpled" texture. On the curved window wall of the breakfast room, the cast stone mullions have a steel core that is structural. Hope this answers your question and thanks for your interest in this project. Best of luck on yours!

I love both but it depends on the property and the overall style of the house. I am about to embark on a renovation project of a 1970s house and I’m looking to completely transform the exterior with render and change the windows to sashes, I don’t know where to start so any advice by sash window experts is welcome!

Unusually shaped windows - can't figure out a window dressing

Hi Lauren! I worked on a project with a similar situation! The windows were in a spare bedroom, so ideally they really did need to be covered at night time, however only when people were staying over. We had venetian blinds made for the standard rectangular window, then for the 2 angled windows, we produced a 'shield'. Basically, we got our joiner to make two shields which were templated to the same shape as the window reveals, with a handle in the centre, which then hooked on to the window. So they could be taken up and down as you wish. They were produced in oak and finished the same colour as the rest of the joinery and blinds, with a handle in pewter to match the rest of the ironmongery in the house. Unfortunately I don't have ay photos of the shields, but you can see the window, and the hooks that the shield mounts on to! We found this to be the most simple, unfussy option, and you are still able to see the windows in their full glory. The shields are kept in the cupboard when not being used. I hope this helps!
