Punjabi Bagh is one of West Delhi's grand old colonies. East and West Punjabi Bagh are full of large family kothis on wide avenues, many now being rebuilt or fully renovated. When a house here is redone, it is usually done top to bottom: several bathrooms, a staircase railing, big windows and sometimes a glazed terrace.
Glazing a whole kothi in one go
A Punjabi Bagh renovation is rarely one room. It is usually four or five bathrooms, a main staircase and every window at once.
Doing it all in one order is the biggest saving available. The measuring visit, the delivery and the team's time are paid once however much glass goes in.
So we measure the whole house on one visit. You then see the full cost before deciding what to do first.
The main staircase railing
Most kothis here have a grand central staircase, and glass railings are the popular choice for it now.
A railing must stop a person falling, so the glass and clamps are chosen for that job. Where there is no top handrail, the glass must be thicker, because it carries the whole load.
With grandparents and children in the same house, this is the one part where the specification is not about looks.
Timing the glass with the rest of the renovation
In a full renovation, glass should go in near the end. After the flooring, the tiling and most of the painting, but before the final touch-ups.
If glass goes in too early, other trades damage it. A chipped toughened panel cannot be repaired. It has to be made again, which adds three to five working days.
Tell us your contractor's plan and we will fit in at the right point.
