Chittaranjan Park was laid out in small plots. Over the last twenty years most of them have been rebuilt as builder floors, four storeys on a narrow footprint. That gives modern flats with one practical catch. The stair is tight, the lift is small or missing, and that decides how big a glass panel can be.
New floors on an old, narrow plot
A rebuilt CR Park floor looks modern inside. Straight walls, new tiles, good light. That is good news for glass, because frameless panels sit cleanly against a true wall.
The catch is getting there. The plot is narrow, so the stair is narrow too, and the lift, where there is one, is small.
So the first thing we measure is the way up, not the bathroom. It sets the largest panel we can bring.
Splitting a panel so it reaches the floor
Toughened glass cannot be cut once it is made. If a panel will not fit up the stair or into the lift, it cannot be trimmed to fit.
So where your shower wants a taller panel than the stair allows, we design it as two panels with a slim vertical joint. From normal distance you will not notice it.
That is far better than a panel that reaches the landing and stops there.
Windows and mesh in a new floor
Many rebuilt floors here were handed over with basic windows and no mesh. People usually want both fixed properly soon after moving in.
Sliding aluminium windows are the common choice. For mesh, there are several types. Fixed mesh stays in place. Sliding mesh runs on the window track. Pleated and roll-up mesh fold away when you want the view back.
We show you the options against your own windows.
