Only Quality Materials Are Used To Create A Quality Product…

The Finest Quality Timber

We only use timber from sustainable forests to manufacture our products. European and Russian redwood, carefully selected by ourselves to ensure we reach the highest standard of quality and in accordance with BS1186 Part 1 1986, is mainly used to produce our products.

Where specified our windows and doors can also 
be manufactured using the finest Hardwood with 
choices varying.Please contact our office with your

Our Commitment to the Environment

Sustainable – “capable of being maintained at a steady level without exhausting natural resources or causing sever ecological damage”

Timber is the most sustainable material for use when manufacturing doors and windows.

Trees are esential for the absobtion of carbon dioxide.  They do this through a process called photosythesis, which uses carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar and oxygen.  The oxygen is then released back into the atmosphere. 

As trees become older they become less able to absorb carbon dioxide. It is therefore essential that we harvest these trees and replace them with younger ones. Under the rules of the certified forest management, for every tree cut down, two new ones are planted.

Greenpeace, who have spent years researching the pro’s and con’s of PVCu versus Timber are categorical with their conclusion:

“As long as timber is sourced from properly managed forests and care is taken in the choice of preservatives, paints and stains, timber windows are by far the best environmental choice”

Lamination

We laminate a lot of our timber before it reaches our machinery. Lamination allows us to choose the most suitable parts of the timber and reduces warping of the wood. By laminating the timber more finely we can achieve more complex shapes and designs such as gothic arches and circular windows.

Factory Pre-Finishing using Akzo Nobel

Our products are supplied pre-finished. Our standard finish consists of a two-coat micro-porous water based paint. However factory pre-finishing is also available in a stain. The finish is applied to the timber using a spray method, which provides excellent coverage and allows us to effectively cover all areas of the product. Because of the care we take in pre-finishing our product maintenance intervals can be reduced. 

Glass

As standard our windows are fitted with 28mm thick, sealed double glazing units. These compose of 2 x 4mm float glass and a 20mm Swisspacer and Argon gas. The inner pane has KsGlass the S stands for a soft coating and complies with Part L of the Building Regulations.
