Interesting, even without gloves ?

A question, are the embrasures/frames made of wood? The photos attest of a 
structure that doesn?t look like wood, rather a metalic grid covered in 
paint.

OTT yet related : if the original windows were made of wood, does the 
company guarantee that they will withstand the extra weight of the extra 
glazing?

Curious minds want to know ;-)

Amities
