We have been back and fourth to Hawthorne Hall for over a decade
approaching its restoration with consideration and care. The next phase of this properties conservation was the hand tooling and installation of several transom windows.
With this property being a listed building, we’ve replaced ‘like-for-like’, including the original tooling techniques.
This meant our proposal to our client needed to be a reflection of the existing window features. Having established a trusting relationship with this returning client, meant that we were able to discuss openly and gain an understanding of what the beneficiaries required.
Although the outline of the window design was already in place, a challenge we continue to face and overcome is conserving the heritage of the building and its surroundings.
A key challenge with window projects is the battle with condensation and build-up of mould, predominantly in internal areas. We have innovated a design aspect which uses an insulating layer to combat these historic issues, without effecting longevity and traditional aesthetics.
From the specifications to the manufacturing of the windows, we’ve installed a design which is not only in keeping with the building and its heritage,
but also has additional features that improve the longevity of the windows and health of the internal environment. The inclusion of insulation and use of lime mortar mean that not only does this window tie in beautifully with its surroundings, but it also has the properties to avoid damp issues and future damages which can cause.
