Edingley Oak Atrium window, glazed Porch and gazebo

We first spoke to Richard with regards to constructing and supplying a large oak atrium window as part of his home renovations. With the double storey oak atrium set to be the main façade of the house, it was not only to be a beautiful statement window, it was also the first impression of the home. A two-storey window of this nature is not only aesthetically pleasing from the road side, but also pours light into the home creating a light and inviting hub of the house.

We worked off architect drawings of the atrium and supported both the architects and Richard with regards to the structural elements of the oak work.

We have used a direct glazing approach to the window, whereby we create a softwood rebate for the glazing to sit in. From here we then cloaked the glass with air dried oak. This approach enables full stability for the glass, whilst allowing for movement in the oak without any future problems of cracking or water ingress. The air dried oak cloaking mirrors the main oak frame, creating a seamless design and beautiful statement window.

In addition to constructing the atrium window we also constructed and supplied a glazed oak porch for Richard. The glazed oak porch is a unique design, creating a beautiful open space to the front side of the property. We helped evolve the architects original plans to enable the design to work with a traditional oak frame factoring structural calculations and glazing sizes.

This oak porch also benefits from direct double glazed units cloaked in air dried oak for a seamless finish.
The under side of the porch has oak tongue and groove boarding further increasing the aesthetics of this timber framed entrance.

”Excellent quality work. I ordered a very large oak window and porch so they weren't small projects. The quality of the craftsmanship is exceptional and they take responsibility for the glazing as well which is hard to find with oak suppliers. Faultless!

Since completing the oak atrium and glazed porch we have also completed a flat roof oak gazebo.
This oak garden gazebo complete with oak moulding to conceal the fibreglass roof creates a sheltered patio area to the rear of the house. The oak frame creates a place to enjoy the landscaped gardens all year round. Constructed in green oak, with mortice and tenoned joints, this traditional oak frame has a modern twist to it. With the underside of the roof cloaked with oak tongue and groove boarding this creates a lovely space to enjoy the garden whilst having the added benefit of marrying the rear of the house to the front oak porch and atrium.
