Nothing else matches it in term of appearance.
With the establishment of FSC certification, the sustainable credentials of timbers can be guaranteed.
It is the most renewable construction resource available.
It is 100% biodegradable.
A growing tree emits Oxygen, and consumes Carbon Dioxide.
Wood has proved its ability to last for hundreds of years as a building material.
Great advances in paint finish technology mean that redecoration need only be every 6 - 8 years.
With a minimum of care, good quality timber windows will last a lifetime.
Advances in weather seal technology mean that a well designed window is totally draught free.
Properly designed timber windows can be double glazed.
Timbers strength means that slim, elegant frame sections can be used, making the glass area greater.
Timber has one of the highest insulation values of all window construction materials.
New timber windows will add to the value of your home.

Factory finishing


Factory finishing uses specially formulated coatings, spray applied prior to glazing.

The main function of a paint finish is to protect the timber from becoming wet.

Among the most susceptible areas in timber windows and doors, are the undersides of bottom rails, where the endgrain of the stiles is exposed. Water often remains held here long after it has stopped raining. Unfortunately, these areas are difficult to reach by brush, and easily overlooked during in-situ brush painting. To make matters worse, the porous nature of timber endgrain, requires more paint coverage here, than any other area.

Benefits of factory finishing:
• Windows arrive on site fully finished with no further decoration required.
• Latest generation Sikkens microporous finishes mean no further painting is required for up to 8 years.
• Highly flexible coatings allow for the inherent slight timber movements, that crack poor quality finishes.
• Bottom rails receive more paint than all other surfaces and are completely sealed.
• Applied in a controlled environment, it eliminates the risk of the windows getting wet prior to decoration.
• Eliminates the disruption caused by having to leave windows open while each brush coat dries.
• Not dependant on weather for decorating.
• Makes the sliding action of our sash windows effortlessly silky. ( Avoids common ‘paint stuck' sashes)
• Achieves a neatness of finish that cannot be matched by brush painting.
• Reaches areas that become inaccessible after installation. ( glazing rebates, backs of sash stiles etc. )
