MUSEUM EXHIBITS PRIDE IN RESTORED WINDOWS

16 April 2009

Sash window renovation specialist Ventrolla has put its skills on public display by upgrading windows at an historic London museum.

Housed within a Grade I listed 16th century manor house, Bruce Castle Museum in Tottenham contains local history collections and archives for the Borough of Haringey.

Ventrolla London Commercial carried out the work to renovate eight Victorian sash windows at the property, which was originally the home of Sir William Compton, a member of the court of Henry VIII, and has served as a museum since 1906.

Ian Mathieson, Managing Director of Ventrolla London Commercial, said: “The windows needed renovating because they had been painted closed and become unusable. There were also problems with the window mechanisms, which were rectified once we fitted new pulleys and weights.

“Work was completed within a week and has helped improve the functionality of the windows without affecting the period splendour of this landmark building.”

Robert Waite, Deputy Curator at Bruce Castle Museum, added: “The museum is very much a focal point for the local community as it reflects the important history of the borough.”
