1. GREEN OAK DIRECT GLAZING

A project in Surrey, 2 Direct Glazed gables

recently completed by us &

filmed for a new BBC Property show.

Topworks is a Specialist Carpentry business working in

Green Oak Timber Framing.

We cover the whole of the UK.

We Specialise in OAK FRAME GLAZING.

Installing ‘face applied glazing’ (Direct glazing) and oak joinery to

Green Oak Frames.

This is by far the most aesthetically pleasing system to glaze an

oak frame & is the most reliable system when viewed against the

only alternatives of rebating or fitting individual frames.

This is a specialist glazing system and can only be successfully

installed by fully experienced and skilled craftsmen.

There are many steps, processes and detailing to correctly and

successfully direct glaze an oak building, it requires time, skill,

knowledge & experience.

incorrect & inexperienced fitting will undoubtedly leak and could

potentially damage your oak frame.

We are aware of only 3 other fully experienced

companies in the uk.

A typical installation (if there is such a thing in green oak framing)

takes approx 10 days.

The final finish is top quality and

we certainly will not rush the installation,

Our quality of work speaks for itself.

We only use the highest quality materials & we

believe that the aesthetics of our work are as important as its

function.

We want our work to complement your oak frame, while

retaining the option of relatively straight forward repair,

maintainance or modification so that our work will last as long as

your oak frame.

Key Features:

1.The entire structural frame is clad to protect the frame and provide a continuous waterproof seal & also helps prevent cold bridging.
2.The IGU’s are floating to allow for movement of the frame.
3.All weather seals are EPDM rubber to provide longevity and allow for movement. No silicon or other mastics are used on the glazing, which can degrade or tear.
4.We use a 6 x 20 mm EPDM profile to improve performance.

5. BBA certified flexible weatherproof seals used in the system
to accommodate the movement of the frame
6.Free running drainage is built into the system extending the life of the IGU’s and to prevent the buffeting effect which drives trapped water through the secondary seal.

7.Copper flashings used on horizontal members, profiled on site in one continuous length using specialist machinery.
8.All joinery work, doors & opening windows can be incorporated into the system.
9.Installations are undertaken by skilled and trained craftsmen.

10. No stepped IGU's required except on roof installations.
