|
A Bull-Mountain Residence with doors & windows lacking the benefit of any eves or significant overhang for protection from the elements.
|
Failed glass & water damaged wood-clad Kolbe & Kolbe doors are the result. This is not the fault of the manufacturer. Anybody’s products would be sorely tested in this setting.
|
So we were contracted to replace the four flanking insulated glass units into the existing non-operable door panels.
|
Oregon weather being the unpredictable thing that it is, the very same lack of protection necessitated measures be taken to protect our work.
|
New insulated glass units glazed into the original Kolbe & Kolbe sidelight panels (non-operable doors used as sidelights).
|
The original doors are carefully laid over the new door panels and used as templates to transfer the hinge locations.
|
Hanging new doors into original door-jambs is just one of the skills that frequently sets us apart from the competition.
