So much more glass than if done with with UPVC. Looks lovely. My only thought, which I had a conversation about the other day, is the colour. Very modern now in 15 years is that going to be the avocado bathroom of the 2020s
That is probably correct, but from a security point of view either vice grips or adjustable spanner will have the majority of “honest” people through a euro cylinder in less than 30 seconds. Plus there’s more chance of a prying on the frame opener than removing of trims as it would be quicker. Locks are only to keep honest people out 😉
What a FANTASTIC video. There must be some sort of talisman at A&E to be able to put a video like this together.😎 The finished job clearly reflects the skill and effort that has been put into it.🤩
After the hot dip galvanising process there should be no holes drilled, no cutting, grinding or weld touch touch up. After galvanising straight to powder coating and with the correct dft you’ll have a coating system with less chance of rust or oxidation, sealing compromised galvanising with silicon or cold galvanising paint repairs is a sure way for corrosion to start.
Stunning looking, is there any problem with cold bridging ? Silly question i know but how do they overcome it ? And it would have been nice if the vid showed a lot more of the being made part, slowed down i mean.
I know that with the aluminium doors and windows these days they are thermally broken I couldn't tell if these were or not from the video but I'd be interested to know. 👍😃
@@garethheathcote4988 Could you please tell me what you and several other comments mean by the thermal break as I have not come across this before. Much appreciated.
@@amazing451 the cilll that the frame sits on is made in 3 parts. The inner and outer most being aluminium. They sandwich a plastic section. This provides a break in any heat, or cold conducting from outside to in and vice versa. I hope that makes sense. I'm far from an expert. This is only my limited understanding.
What Mark said - but mainly it stops cold bridging - warm moist air making contact with cold steel (cold from outside -in) and then forming condensation.
Those windows will be a major issue come winter, absolute cold magnets. Also can't understand why guys drill holes into fresh Galvanised steel, will have rust issues in 20 years or so.
@@HMG2119 I'm talking the temperature of the steel frames in winter. You have no hot cold barrier, they'll be wet in minus temps. A heating costs will be through the roof.

I thought the same as others about beads being external, but that tape is so strong it will take forever to break through. Just as long as having beads internal. Nice finish 👏 👌 👍
I think it's amazing that some employers still aren't giving their welders PAPR head shields even though it's now basically law. HSE really need to do more spot checks on firms like this.

Hi Paul, the yellow tape on the frames is double sided & the glass is stuck in. I've never managed to get external glazing out without smashing it to bits !!! Totally secure. Regards Tim

@@bobcharlie7982 better quality than what exactly? If it's a conservation area or listed requirement then that's fair enough, but why would you choose metal frames if you didn't have to? Freezing cold, I'd be surprised if they didn't condensate, very low durability and to top it off externally beaded. Now there's no way that makes them less secure because of the tape, but if the seal blows in the glass, which happens all the time, then you'll do well not to cause some serious damage replacing it. And after all that, what do you get...windows that look plastic! So, to repeat my question, why would you though?
The glass area is increased massively as plastic is much thicker. Far more light, rooms that place would be massive and need the extra light The glass is stuck in and would never pull it out to break in

😂😂😂😂 That’s probably very true Doug I hadn’t thought of the beautiful colour palette bathrooms used to come in 🤢🤮🤮🤮
Looks stunning, genuine question though? I thought the trims had to be on inside for security?
Older windows were externally beaded but secured so well that there are plenty of easier ways to break into a house.
The double sided tape means you would never get the glass out. Brick is the only way, double glazed with modern glass that would probably bounce too

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw them install the glass.
I was thinking the same thing. And even with the tape I'm sure you can still pull the glazing out...

Hi Justin hope you are well much appreciated, it’s amazing to see the level of skill we have in the U.K. all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE absolutely Tony some of the best people in the world mate.
All the best
Justin
Great job and look the part but there is a huge flaw , the trim should be on the inside to stop people breaking in
I do know the history of what were called crittall windows years ago the reply was a very good sales pitch but thermal bridging ?
No thermal bridging just beautiful old style windows 👍
@@BuildWithAE 🤔🤨
Fantastic film, very interesting...

Beautiful. Guessing they cost a small fortune.
Absolutely beautiful. What are the benefits of steel, apart from the looks?
Very nice , correct measurements are imperative as you cant just plane a few mil off if it’s too big 😬😁🧱👍🏼
No but you could grind it down thou 🤣🤣🤣🙈

Nice content, one to get plenty of comments, you do get a lot more glazing per window.
Thanks Andrew! 👍
