About internal windows and borrowed light
An internal window is a fixed glazed panel set into an internal wall to borrow daylight from a bright room for a dark one — an inner hallway, a landing, a windowless bathroom or a box room. A glazed fanlight over a door does the same job. Full details on internal windows and borrowed light.
Internal windows and borrowed light for Rutland properties
We regularly work in stone cottages and Georgian houses in Oakham and Uppingham around Rutland. In older homes we scribe frames to walls that aren't plumb; in newer ones it's usually a case of finding the studs and services before we fix. Businesses here come to us as well, particularly small offices and hospitality venues around Rutland Water.
