The Process
Initial site survey:
To provide a quotation fixed for 18 months as well a sample and specification. Provide assistance if necessary in pursuit of faculty or planning permission (if required) and potential VAT exemption.
On site pattern taking and measurement:
This involves cutting a template for every single light. This a critical stage as end result is dependant upon how accurate the templates are.
Manufacture at factory:
Using the templates to make bending jigs, the perimeter profiles are hand formed using heat, once the profiles are formed they are then welded to the mesh which is them cut off and cleaned up. The newly made guards are paint finished and ready for installation.
Installation:
On site the guards are fitted to the windows, consideration is given to fixing points in order not to limit disturbance to stonework.
Timescale:
If we are carrying out the complete service then normally projects are completed with four weeks of receipt of order, if for instance a glass studio/contractor is providing templates and fitting themselves then normally our timescale is ten days maximum from receipt of templates.
