If I had to use them I'd put on two coats of dulux aluminium primer to start with. It can be sprayed providing you wear the right mask Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

The thought of brush painting them is probably worse than actually doing it. Treat yourself to a new album, play it loud and crack on with it ! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I thought the same. Tricoya would have cost more but how much is your time worth if you have to remake and repaint it. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'd try just wiping on another coat before doing too much to it. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

So well thought out and the end result is fantastic!! Top mark's for helping him out. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I would keep it. End of Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Just flicking through the coastal book he left and found this page which describes the system in more detail. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Click on the ' such as these' part in Chas's reply. I just searched on ebay Then realised he'd posted a link. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Thanks Mark. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Looking good Bob. Look forward to seeing it with the top on. Smart that. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Hi Mark. Dont suppose you'd like to show us some photos of your chosen windows please ? Sounds like you've whittled it down to the best design already ! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I've seen drill bits with even longer points. They're used for drill holes at an angle to the wood. For example drilling round holes up the side of a stair string roughly 45 degrees to the wood. I fairly sure yours is just 5hit though Phil ! Lol Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Not off tack at all Phil ;@) CCTV is so cheap now adays its gotta help deter the thieving scum. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Well spotted Doug. It was from coastal and the name does sound familiar. As you say it does seem clever and well thought out but part of me cant help but feel I'm cutting corners by just screwing on hinges but then....is there really much structural benefit in chopping them in...what I would say...

The tooling cost would probably put me off to be honest, unless it's something that can be produced using normal grooves, rebate blocks etc. Because most of what I do is like for like I'm not sure how often that style of window might get used. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I've not heard of those things before, I'll have to do some research. Thanks for the link Jonathan, I'll have a proper look tonight. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

The double step rebate would nearly get over the issue but I'm not sure if you would be able to get striking plates to fit. I had a ironmongery rep come in earlier in the week and he was trying to persuade me to start using his system. I think even if the double idea rebate could work it...

That's what I've always thought. I quite often use phosphorus bronze washered hinges similar to these I suppose driving the pins out of those would be even easier, perhaps a little noisier. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Do you think they would be more secure than traditional fasteners? I mostly make flush casements and with multi point locks it's fairly obvious where the angle grinder needs to be inserted into the joint to gain entry. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
