window

welsh_koi · 22-03-2011, 09:58 AM

in my new build i want to add a window but:-

1) can i add it if going for liner
2) does it have to be paint or fibreglass
3) would a 25mm laminated be thick enough or does it change with size (as im not sure yet)

mmmm, interesting question and would like to know too! anyone?

The answer to 1 is yes it can be done by means of a frame that clamps the glass and liner but is not ideal imo

Number 2 either would work either with a s/s frame or a rebate in the blockwork although I would prefer fiberglass as a long term solution

Number 3 It does vary on the size and position of the frame below the surface but for a general size window 1200mm x 500mm two 8mm panes laminated together comes out at 17.5mm is fine . Do check that when you have decided on the size and position

Hope this helps

mark you can do exactly the same with the pond you have as i keep saying it would be easy to build the filter house on the end like this and also the piers holding the roof section as you have already got the block work in place

Notice where the bakki is sited mmmmm didnt i mention that at some point....i rest my case

Hi all
I did the window for that pond , Its a three sided frame in a fibreglass finished pond.
I also do frames for liner finished and rendered ponds.
These are also available in four sided.
Have a look at the website.
