Window Restoration Course in Sweden
ALLBÄCK WINDOWCRAFT LEGACY
Hands-on Workshop provided in English with the
Allbäck family of Scandinavian WindowCraft
Description
Carrying on the Allbäck Windowcraft legacy, the next generations of the Allbäck family have been working and teaching in Norway and Sweden since 1989 in, both, the restoration and also new construction of traditional window assemblies. They have helped hundreds of amateur and professional students.
Windows are the ‘eyes of the building’ and are vital to its overall character. Often of high quality, traditional window assemblies can be endlessly maintainable and frequently possess better energy efficiency than most people realize.
