A beautiful home and sympathetic renovation.
I'm currently renovating and extending an Edwardian home and having trouble finding one supplier to NI for both sash windows and crittall 'style' doors and interior glazing. Can I ask who supplied yours?

Hi Ben, I can't recommend anyone from experience, but we did get a few quotes for our project but, unfortunately, they were above what we wanted to spend. These are a few that I found while searching: https://steelnouveau.com/ https://idsystems.co.uk/doors/heritage-doors/ http://www.perlawindows.com/

There are many causes of condensation, and no window can ever promise to eliminate it completely. You should not believe anyone telling you new windows will never condensate. If steel windows are out of your budget, there are aluminium steel-look windows with better thermal insulation that should be a lot cheaper. They won't give you the 100% look of the genuine Crittall® or other steel windows as the profiles, the way they're made, and the design is too different. However, the current range of aluminium steel-look is very well-designed and worth at least comparing with the superb genuine article. Happy to provide further advice, give information on the various brands available and where to buy, if you'd like to get in touch. Hope this helps Kind regards, Nick

Eggshell or satin paint for dark-coloured windows and doors?
Q

this was true with oil based paints that Dulux satin wood was hard wearing, with acrylic paints you need to do litlle bit of a resarch to find acrylic satin that is also durable. I will always stand for F&B egshell or satin for woodwork is a great choice, but if you looking for something little bit more advance there is a choice.

Please help with window and door advice - completely stuck!

Hi again & thanks for all the advice/opinions so far. We are thinking of all vertical lines with the windows now, mainly because it appears easier on the eye. Hopefully we won’t miss the small openers too much. Downstairs will be sliders for the window & doors. Can anyone help with frame colour? If we stick with the brown brick (which I find dreary/dark tbh & is very marked/damaged) then we’d go with light window frames. My preference would be off white or a similar pale neutral. However, the front windows aren’t being replaced so will stay pure white for now. The soffits & fascias are white. The other half of our semi next door is white. How would this work - would we need to change fascias to a different colour so as to link the white & off white? The other option is to paint or render or clad the rear of the existing house to disguise the old brick. This could possibly allow us to venture into a different colour for the windows & doors at the back, maybe pale olive green or similar. Is this a no no when part of a semi detached building? Should we retain the same look as our other half, even if it is dated? Any advice much appreciated. Really want to brighten the house up but without making it stick out like a sore thumb as it’s semi rural here with a lot of mixed housing stock (mostly character builds). Attaching an attempt at a mock up if that helps…
