Timber

Which Timber Best Suits Your Project?

Choosing which timber to use for your windows and doors depends on your requirements. Ultimately, whichever you choose, the coating system is of the upmost of importance as this protects the timber from the elements and enhances the timbers performance. Your project requirements and budget have been accommodated for by the timbers that we have selected.

Engineered Redwood Pine – an engineered soft wood, finger-jointed for extra strength or clear engineered for stain coatings.

Engineered Meranti – an engineered hardwood. Coarse, even texture and interlocked grain, this timber has a great overall hardness and a stable strength.

Engineered Sapele – an engineered hardwood. Exhibiting resistance to decay and rot, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Engineered European Oak – an engineered hardwood that’s fairly hard, heavy, and dense, making it extremely durable.

Accoya™ – produced from sustainably sourced, fast growing wood and manufactured using a treatment process called acetylation. Accoya wood is extremely stable and is guaranteed from rot above ground for 50 years.

Our wooden windows and doors are factory finished with four coats of microporous paint or stain to give them a long lasting and durable finish. With the correct care and and maintenance, this factory finish will protect whichever timber you choose,  from any type of weathering.

What is Engineered Timber?

Engineered timber revolutionizes traditional woodwork, addressing age-old issues of expansion, contraction, and warping.

This innovative solution layers wood sections with opposing grain directions, neutralizing moisture-induced movement. While preserving the beauty and tactile appeal of traditional wood, it eliminates the frustration of sticking windows and doors.

For centuries, wood has adorned British and European homes, but its natural tendencies often caused problems. Now, multilayer timber offers homeowners the classic charm of wood without the drawbacks, ensuring lasting functionality and aesthetics in windows and doors.
