team tractor Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I’ve just made and installed this job for the nicest old lady I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. 90 years old mother of 11 . 56mm European oak , double boarded with a thermal core , low threshold, satin glass panel but the bottle glass in the door was what her husband installed in the original in the 70s . She cried when she spotted it triple glazed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
