It's all in the detail. 🏡
When installing natural dry stone around windows, careful attention to weatherproofing is essential.
For this project, we specified an additional 30mm extension to the window frames, allowing us to create a properly sealed junction between the stonework and the window and keeping tge majority of tge frame exposed.
With and stone work around windows, wind-driven rain can pe*****te through the joints, making the correct installation of DPC and weatherproofing around the window openings particularly important.
Above the windows, we've incorporated stepped galvanised steel lintels to support the stonework. These have a 15–20mm recessed detail, allowing the window frame to meet the steel neatly while accommodating a concealed sealed junction.
The result is a clean, seamless finish without compromising the attention given to weather protection.
Small details that make a big difference to both the appearance and long-term performance of a building.
