Black wooden frame with ‘gendarme hat’ arch – Etterbeek

Material
  • Wood
  • Black arched glazing-bar window in a round-arched ashlar opening
  • Brussels townhouse with dark wooden windows and a double arched door

For this residence located in Etterbeek, Abihome has carried out the manufacturing and installation of custom black wooden frames, perfectly suited to the architectural style of the building.

The project is distinguished by the presence of a genuine 'gendarme hat' arch, a specific shape that requires precise manufacturing work to respect the proportions and aesthetics of the existing openings. This solution allows for the preservation of the architectural character while integrating modern and efficient joinery.

The windows are also equipped with decorative crossbars glued on both sides, adding a traditional touch and highlighting the elegance of the glazing.

The choice of wooden frames combines authenticity and technical performance: this natural material is renowned for its excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, while providing a warm and durable aesthetic finish.

This project includes:

• Manufacturing and installation of custom black wooden frames
• Genuine 'gendarme hat' arch
• Decorative crossbars glued on both sides
• Respect for the architectural style of the residence

The result enhances the facade while preserving the classic identity of the building, with elegant joinery that is perfectly integrated.

👉 A realization that illustrates Abihome's expertise in the production and installation of custom wooden frames in Brussels and Belgium.

The result: an aesthetic update that respects the original character of the facade, while providing thermal comfort, easier maintenance, and contemporary elegance.
