Unusual Window Design
My builder recently pointed out that two of our original windows have shapes that make standard replacement glass difficult. I'd rather not change their character just to simplify the job. Can anyone recommend a good resource showing sealed units and bespoke glass examples, especially for older or awkwardly shaped windows?
Had the exact same issue with a pair of arched windows in a 1930s semi we renovated last year. Every glazier kept suggesting we "simplify" the shape to fit standard units, which felt like cheating the house out of its personality. Eventually found a joiner who pointed me toward https://www.ambgls.co.uk/gallery – their gallery has loads of bespoke sealed unit examples, including curved and irregular shapes that actually kept the original glazing bars intact. Worth a scroll through before you let anyone talk you into squaring off those windows. Sometimes the "difficult" shape is exactly what gives the place its charm, so don't let the easy option win by default.
