Metal Windows and Doors By Bronze Casements
Feedback from Grand Designs
We recently featured at the Grand Designs Show at the London Excel. This has been a favourite choice for the Design Team here at Vale as the atmosphere is always lively and there are lots of people in attendance. Indeed there were over 101,000 visitors to the Grand Designs show so as can be imagined, it’s a very busy time for all!
Inward Opening Windows
Ever had the problem of how to clean and maintain those hard to reach windows? We’ve had clients who’ve come to us with this conundrum. For example in Town Houses, dormer windows and over the gable end of a building.
Repairing Stone Mullions
Stone damage not only looks unsightly, but may also seriously affect the performance of your bronze windows. The cause of stone damage may be due to a variety of problems.
Grand Designs 2011
Grand Designs London returns to Excel this springtime, we can expect over 100,000 visitors to view over 500 stands during the 9 day show. Bronze Casements have booked their annual slot in the Grand Build area of the exhibition hall. After the success of last year’s dual stand, with Vale Interiors (conservatory furniture) and Bronze Casements (metal windows) exhibiting in tandem under the Vale Garden Houses banner, we are now returning as simply Bronze Casements for this year’s show.
Bespoke Timber Frames
Architectural Bronze Casements can be incorporated into various types of window openings including those made of stone, brick and timber. It is possible to fit directly into the existing substrate but sometimes work is required where timber has rotted or masonry has been damaged. Our surveyors can advise on what remedial action may be required, and are able to draw on expertise from associated tradesmen if necessary.
Metal Windows For The Older Property
Whilst many of our metal windows and doors are produced for New Build projects where you are working to new and plumb reveals and windows are of a regular shape. However, we also have a great deal of experience working with older properties and heritage type work where we are trusted to replace and re-instate appropriate fenestration in often difficult situations. This is typically where the window openings are out of square, may be have complex arcs or curves, or are of a non-standard construction. It may also be on buildings where windows are particularly difficult to access.
Bronze Window Measuring & Fitting Service
Each of our bespoke metal windows is made to a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 2mm. Therefore measuring windows correctly is paramount.
A good number of our clients who are practically minded or have a good builder working on their project are confident to supply dimensions for us to manufacture their metal windows. We will also provide full fitting instructions in order that they can be installed without any hiccups.

Mae West’s Former House – New York
Earlier this year Architectural Bronze Casements began working on an interesting and exciting renovation project located in Upper West Side New York. 266 West End Avenue was the former home of Hollywood’s outrageous Mae West, a vaudeville performer, playwright, Broadway sensation, movie star and an independent woman who became an icon simply by being herself.
The Great Yorkshire Show
Architectural Bronze Casements exhibited this year at the Great Yorkshire Show for the first time.
The great Yorkshire Show is the country’s leading agricultural event and is held in Harrogate from Tuesday 13th to Thursday 15th July. This year it saw an impressive 125,000 visitors attend.
