Case Study: Victorian Greenhouse
This Victorian greenhouse was a glass roofed, timber structure, with its original mechanical roof vent openers and window stays and braces. Our brief was to replace it like-for-like, and manufacture it as close to the original as physically possible.
Every joint, every section was made to match the original. Our measurements had to be absolutely accurate, especially with the different angles, as the slightest discrepancy would make a big difference to the overall structure. It was a huge project, with a lot of planning, measuring and man hours to make it a success.
All timber was Accoya, a durable and sustainable treated softwood, that is guaranteed for fifty years. You can read more about Accoya products here - Accoya Wood: Modified wood, Long life treated wood, Sustainable wood
All new ironmongery was polished brass, and the old light-opening mechanisms were refurbished and re-painted in a heritage colour. The whole structure was factory finished, then touched up on site. We also produced and installed solid Accoya wall panelling and window boards, finished to match the rest of the woodwork.
