This project in Shepton Mallett was an important one. The homeowners were experiencing water ingress and were concerned for their house, so we installed new windows to helped resolve the problem.
The Project
Mr & Mrs Lilley had moved to an old church house just outside the Somerset town of Shepton Mallett. The property featured stone mullions in the windows and was suffering from water ingress both through the stone and through the existing aluminium window frames.
They wanted to keep or increase the amount of light in the property by using slimline profiles to maximise the glass area. Having visited the Panoramic showroom, Mr & Mrs Lilley considered Crittall steel Homelight windows and, on our recommendation, Slimline aluminium alternatives.
The Chosen Product
After considering the client’s criteria and taking into account other factors such as budget, slimline aluminium was chosen as the right product for this property. With it’s slim profile coupled with modern locking system and excellent energy efficiency, it was the perfect product to replace the old aluminium system currently in the property.
In addition to the windows themselves, Panoramic introduced a local stonemason, with whom they had worked on similar projects, to look at the stonework and recommend a course of action to resolve the water ingress issue.
The Results
Working in conjunction with the stonemason, Panoramic’s team removed selected windows allowing new stone mullions to be fitted and new slimline windows to be fitted at the same time. Other repairs to the stonework were also carried out and the Installation team were able to fit all the new windows into prepared openings.
This work also lead to the discovery of further areas of unforeseen water ingress which were addressed during the installation. The client has been delighted with the results of this work. They have noticed an elimination of draughts, a marked reduction in noise and of course, much better insulation in the property. They are delighted with the transformation of their home.
