Case Study – Dormer Windows

Aluminium is an excellent solution for dormer windows.

The brief

The original part of the property already had two Dormer windows and our customer wanted to fit another two or three Dormer windows, replicating the existing style.

Our approach

We matched the old windows with new sub-frames for the new Dormer windows. The new sub-frames included the same level of detail on the frames. We also matched the details of the original windows exactly, so that the new matches the old throughout – even though the windows have been fitted at different times the result looks the same.

When the customer came into our showroom he showed us the plans of the extension he was going to build. We discussed materials and we completed a site visit of the property, so that we could check the age of the property and the existing windows. Initially, the customer had thought about replacing three or four Dormer windows. However, a decision was made to replace all of the existing windows with new sub-frames and new casements.

We worked with the local builder to ensure a superior finish to the project.

Product focus

We used products from the Alitherm Heritage range.

The result

The property now benefits from brand new Dormer windows, which work perfectly with the windows that were originally part of the property.

  • Emma, Susanne and the team offer a first class service from start to finish. It's the second time we've used The Window Sanctuary, and we will continue to do so as we change more of our windows and doors. Great communication, great installation process, we love our windows! Thank you

  • I came to the Window Sanctuary after another window company had sold and fitted windows that were completely inappropriate for replicating the original 1920's Crittall windows, although this was the brief they had. The Window Sanctuary proved to have an entirely different approach: they could not have taken more care to ensure that every detail mirrored the Crittall originals, and that the windows were exactly what I wanted. I understand that the Window Sanctuary has generations of window making and fitting behind them, and it shows. Some of the new windows had to go into the original 1920's frames, and the WS fitting team's joinery skills were outstanding in being able to rout back the wood really carefully to make sure that the new windows had a completely solid fit. This was in contrast to the previous company's fitting team, who I can only describe as butchering the frames to get their windows in, causing a waterfall inside the windows when it rained. The Window Sanctuary are a team of very skilled craftsmen: I learned first hand how rare this is. Thank you.

  • We used The Window Sanctuary for two jobs on our property, a complete replacement of windows on our barn and then on our main home. I think in total over 40 windows or so including internal doors and substantial bifolds. All in all we worked together for just under 2 years and it was totally seamless, from design stage all the way through to final installations. Honestly I cannot recommend Oliver, Geoff and team enough, and I love that they are a local business - the service really was too notch.

  • We had a few quotes for 2 x black aluminium windows and French aluminium doors with fixed side panels. The Window Sanctuary were the most competitively priced and were quick to respond to our quote request and follow up questions. The timeline they gave for delivery and installation was accurate and the installers did a great job. We are really happy with our high quality and stylish looking doors and windows! Makes such a difference to our house.

  • The Window Sanctuary replaced all my old Crittal Windows with slimline heritage aluminium windows to retain the period look of my grade 2 listed property and furthermore replaced the old rotten timber sash windows with new hardwood timber sash windows bringing the property back to life. The guys were hardworking very knowledgeable and very professional I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm highly enough Warm regards Fraser Owen

  • From the start The Window Sanctuary were friendly and polite and a pleasure to deal with. They offered lots of advice, especially helpful as our installation was a little tricky. We also had lots of issues with our extension which caused delays our end, which The Window Sanctuary worked around, even though it meant the installation had to be carried out in two lots, when initially it was meant to happen in one go - they were very accommodating and patient, thank you! Would definitely recommend.

  • The Window Sanctuary supplied and installed our patio doors. We are extremely happy with the service they provided and couldn’t be happier with how the doors have turned out. They are exactly the look and quality that we were after.
