Design Dilemma Windows

Need help with creating new window frames / window

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

I've just acquired a 1 bed flat with sea views. Excuse the photos. The previous owners were a bit messy. I want to open up the size of the windows so that i can insert larger windows and maximise the views and light. Can anyone recommend the best way to go about this? Know a good window supplier?

You could have a waterproof bathroom roller blind that is pulled down in front of the window reveal so no water gets behind?

Maybe try some of the stone colours, this is Serpentine. Or maybe F&B Mouse’s back Are the decorators happy to paint without scaffolding? if not, I’d get the render painted at the same time as scaffolding for a house this size costs thousands At minimum I’d probably have them tone down the yellow on the quoins, window frames etc Congratulations, looks a lovely house!

I have what you describe in my modern industrial conversion. We bought the house when it was completed. I have been here almost two years and at first I did wish I had crittal black window frames. Now I am glad they are white. I also think you have to consider the light and you will get a much lighter airier feeling from having white inside. It also depends on what colours you are plannning to paint the inside. Ours is mostly white and soft neutrals (paint) so black would be too much of a contrast. Enki, Scandinavian Living and Nordic Living are readily available and illustrate what you are considering. They might be helpful. Another factor is the interior design. Think about the style you prefer. That would also influence your choice. I would also consider window treatments as that is a factor too. Have a look at the Modern House Scotland properties for sale.

Hi Fresh Kid,

I'm a researcher with Openlight, a new startup looking to change the way homeowners buy and install windows in their home. We're at the very early stages of our business and looking to chat with people like you to learn more about your experiences and what can be improved. Would you be willing to have a conversation with us? Let me know and we can figure out the best way to get in touch.

Thank you for your time and help!

If your flat is leasehold don’t forget you will need permission from the freeholder to change windows as they will affect the external appearance of the property and they are part of the fabric of the building

If you don't know how to make repairs, it really is best to call in the experts. It seems to me that you can replace the windows at the same time. Have you heard of sash window double glazing? At https://chameleon-decorators.co.uk/sash-windows-double-glazing/, you can find quite a bit of information about it. Installing double glazing on wooden windows can improve energy efficiency, comfort and reduce energy bills.
