We have a pair of fairly narrow windows in a victorian house, that have been replaced with double glazing, but a lot of the original glass area has been lost. The house next door still has its original sash windows which are have a bigger area. The windows are arched at the top, which has also been filled in and rectangular windows fitted. We are thinking of having some windows made that fill the arch, and with a minimum width of plastic at the edge. The windows open which also adds to the thickness of plastic.
Is it possible to have windows where the two parts overlap, so the opening part fills the gap, and is not surrounded by another width of plastic? I have tried a couple of local suppliers but they cant improve much on what is there apart from adding an arch.
The width of the opening is 53cm and the current width of visible glass is 33cm, we would like to reduce that 10cm either side down to about 5cm if possible and still have the windows opening, with a fixed arch on top.
Has anyone come across this problem, and could suggest a suitable supplier?
Thanks
