Attic window cut through 400 mm heritage stone
A new attic window and lintel slot cut through 400 mm thick heritage stone, with the interior protected from water and debris throughout.
A heritage stone building needed a new attic window, plus a slot cut for the lintel. The wall is 400 mm thick, and there is no second attempt at a hole in a building like this.
Cutting stone makes water and debris, and the interior had to stay clean and dry, so the cutting was controlled the whole way to protect the inside.
The result was clean, on a technical job we were very pleased with.
