Nearly finished window


Right now the window has had one coat of gloss paint (but been preserved, primed and undercoated). Hinges have been purchased (probably cranked hinges-if that is the term), and I am ready to order the glazing units. Most important of all, and learned from bitter experience, always measure at least twice, if not more, and check with the glaziers, how much gap you must allow between the glass and frame. I stick the glazing units in with silicon sealant and then pin in glazing bars which have been preserved, primed and painted. I will post the in situ window, later. Oh, and because it will be double glazed, I shall also put in a vent in (easy to purchase from diy stores). A doddle, but also an on-going learning process...
