Perfect Windows

The quest for perfect windows has come a long way in the last 25 years. Gone are the days of leaking window-frame sashes, rotting cills, weak styles, penetrating rain, and boring designs. In are the demands of environmentalists, legislators, governments and others to provide increased thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and durability of product.

Window Science

Today, building science demands far higher standards of performance than ever before. Energy efficiency, solar gain, avoidance of cold bridging, and air tightness are all illustrations of the demands now made of the humble window.

Window Technology

And today, our window technology enables us to deliver and fit windows of exceptional quality and performance. Double glazing, triple glazing, a range of special glass, full draft sealing, and improved weathering profiles deliver trouble free window joinery.

Making the Perfect Window

is not easy. First, your individual design is prepared, sized and specified for material, appearance and finish. This information is then sent electronically to the temperature and humidity controlled factory, detailing the component sizes and features.

Timber is kiln dried to very low moisture contents to ensure subsequent stability in product, before being milled, graded, and sorted, with unacceptable material being removed. Then it is finger jointed in to almost continuous lengths, before being machined into the components parts for each special frame. These components are then hung on a treatment track, automatically sensitised to receive a positive electronic charge, and twice passed though a spray booth to receive a negatively charged colour or clear timber powder coating. They are then oven treated to produce a hard, durable surface, similar to an enamel.

With all joints and end grain having received the same protection as the exposed timber, skilled craft workers assemble your window frames, before glazing and fitting ironmongery in accordance with your individual specification.

Where a natural wood appearance is required, a further process takes place before assembly, laminating thick cut veneers to finger jointed material.

After careful, quality control inspection, your windows are damage-proof packed, ready for delivery to your site and installation by our specialist window fitters.

Window Creativity

All of this translates into 'bespoke windows as standard'. Now, architects, developers, contractors, building owners and self builders have a new creative license and architectural design freedom to make impressive statements in wood and glass.
