recycled french windows

10 years ago

i would like to use a set of 8 french windows (200cm in height) which originally were encased in one large timber frame . The windows have been dismantled from the frame and are currently stacked up in my garage. Is it possible to use the windows in my extension but split them up into 2 lots so two frames with 4 french windows in each frame ? the windows are over 100 yrs old but very sturdy solid and beautiful condition

A good carpenter should be able to construct a frame to any specifications you need. This sounds beautiful! Will you use them in window openings or in doors?

I also have a matching pair of very tall french doors (245cm) which i plan to place between the two sets of window frames as it is a 8 metre wall .... my existing ceiling height is 265cm but these huge french doors originate from a house that had 3 metre high ceilings.... will I be able to use the french doors or are they just to tall for my house?
