ConstructionOur Fanlights are supply only, not fixed, and are copies of Georgian
designs built to order in wooden sashes. The sash may be provided by the client or made up
by us at the clients expense.
They are made to Francis Underwoods original construction specifications and are
glazed with 3mm drawn glass as standard, or with blown "period" glass at an
additional cost.
 Construction
of a lead-iron fanlight, seen from inside. The glass rests on the lip formed by the lead
and is retained by wedges of putty |
The strength and rigidity of the
Fanlight comes from the armature which is made of brass (not the rust prone wrought iron
usually used in the 18th century). A number of other improvements on early
practice have been made. Fanlights are supplied painted white on the decorative side
(unless otherwise requested) and left unpainted on the putty side, to be finished by the
client after fitting. |
