Contemporary/Traditional Windows

Heartwood has just finished a window job with the perfect balance of contemporary and traditional design. The main uprights/mullions on the inside are moulded with the same mouldings copied from 16th century mullion windows, the opening and fixed sashes are more modern with a smaller ovollo moulding. The glazing panels are large sealed units with a high insulation value (argon gas filled k glass). The overall effect is a large glazed area creating alot of light in a large sitting room and the perfect marriage between modern and traditional.

Testimonials

Heartwood Construction shows a refreshing enthusiasm and a professional approach to the inevitable repairs that are required. The installation of a concealed steel (T / flitch plate) inside a prominent oak beam was completed with a minimum of fuss and no unsightly reminders. Chris Payne richly deserves his 2009 Sussex Heritage Trust Award for a competent and sympathetic approach to historic restoration.
