Having trouble coming up with a design for a window, just seen someone else asking advice about a bay window so thought I would ask about mine!
It's in a hairdressers, right on the pavement. Existing window is as photo, single glazed and quite rotten. There are four other windows round the side and back of building being replaced, they are straightforward stormproof style.
Obviously new window has to comply with regs so needs to be double glazed, existing has no opening sashes, one would be handy but not essential. A window that let more light in would be good, if it was up to the tenant they would have just one full pane but I am not keen on that. I find the little bow window quite quaint, kind of suits the old building but not easy to replicate double glazed, also not really that practical. Happy to replace the bow with a flat window though if style is right. It was originally a butchers shop and going from old photos window was originally a Yorkshire light but I think the opening has been made higher than it was.
Will be replacing the door for one with more glass in so that can be made to match style of window.
Anyone got any good ideas?
Thanks, Doug
