Our quality window and door projects throughout Thame, Oxford, and Bicester 

In Great Milton and the surrounding area, a few properties remain with steel Crittle windows housed in timber subframes. With the conductivity of steel coupled with the thermal inefficiency of the single glazing and old seals, these windows allow a lot of heat loss as compromise the security. 

Windmill windows were asked to overhaul the 6th form corridor at Wheatley Park Academy completely.The current corridor was made out of softwood timber, suffering from rot and wood worm. Along with the single glazed glass made the corridor not thermally efficient with the security not meeting the required standard.We changed the lower shiplap with 28mm insulated panelling and the upper shiplap with uPVC shiplap. The windows were replaced with bevel profiled ‘A’ rated uPVC, and the door replaced with a commercial aluminium entrance door. By using aluminium the longevity of the door was improved with the ability to add the keyless fob entry door handle that was required. All the glass used was 28mm width units, argon gas-filled K glass to maximise the thermal efficiency. All glass units were also toughened and laminated for safety and enhanced security being a high traffic area.

After investigating the original layout of the windows, our advice meant that our client was able to pass the proposed windows through planning successfully.
