Hay on Wye
For host buildings as historic as the Jacobean manor house to Hay Castle, any new windows
provided must be handcrafted with an extreme level of care in order to help conserve the building's
historical integrity.
The Heritage windows that Architectural Bronze
Casements provided for use in Hay Castle were designed
bespoke to be as close as possible to a match of the building's original leaded lights, complete with hand-soldered
lead and incorporating authentic bronze saddlebars. All
ironmongery was designed in line with the Jacobean style
and all windows were pointed in as was typical of the era.
With the original stone mullions repaired, our bespoke
traditional diamond leaded lights fit perfectly into the
fabric of the Jacobean manor house. Bronze has always
been an ideal choice for period restorations, known for its
longevity, authenticity and ability to blend with traditional
designs. With a signature warmth and natural patina,
these windows look as though they’ve always been there.
The windows provided by Architectural Bronze
Casements are ideal for restoration work. Their Heritage
system is designed for use on historic and other period
buildings where the principal requirement is for either a
fine and delicate extrusion or for a shaped window.
Architectural Bronze’s Heritage system is suitable where
traditional leaded lights are specified, however, it can also
accept any combination of conventional double glazing
up to 16mm.
