“Jim Jarmusch once told me Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it won’t be good.

If it’s cheap and good, it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good, it won’t be cheap.

Fast, cheap and good …pick two words to live by. Tom Waits.

REMAINING STEEL FRAME

The frame is now only an outer frame in the wall for strength and onto which the recessed, wooden window frame is attached.

WOODEN WINDOW FRAME

The steel frame is now covered by wooden moldings & strips to from a solid wooden window.

Architraves

An architrave adds a look of class, warmth & beauty to an archway or doorway. Whether fitted directly onto a plastered opening or by fitting molded wood around steel door frames we can transform the opening to a classic marvel without breaking walls & plastering finishes.
