Window Façade Renovation
Location: Sunshine
Building Type: Residential
Budget: $15’000
The project for our customer had several requirements:
- opening of the lounge room to the backyard
- thermal insulation of the façade
- prepare the façade for a deck planned for a later stage
We dismantled the entire façade to have access to the building structure. The structure was reinforced for the new windows and doors and the planned deck with a pergola.
The entire project was completed within three weeks.
