Design

Our windows and doors are beautiful to look at, can be customised to match with existing designs, last for years and perform to the highest standards.

This is because we have been using computer design and modelling packages for over 25 years and this has allowed us to continuously design, review and develop our products. An early adoption of continental and European design best practice has allowed us to introduce performance features into traditional designs found across the UK. By working closely with industry leading suppliers, we are developing the materials and fitting systems to constantly develop and optimise our designs.

1. Glazing

All windows come as standard with a high performance glazing system optimised for thermal efficiency and a clear neutral appearance. The result is more light coming into your property, a clearer view and lower heating costs. When coupled with a warm edge spacer bar (that part that separates the two panes of glass) most windows are available with an A rating. Find out more.

2. Paint

Our unique 4 coat paint system has been developed to provide maximum protection to the timber, whilst allowing it to breathe and let its natural characteristics show through. Find out more.

3. Internal Beading

Glazed units with internal beading offer you greater security (the bead is not accessible to an intruder preventing it from being removed) and longer life (the bead is the weakest page of the glazing system), but as it is on the inside, it is kept away from the elements.

4. Profile Options

A range of traditional frame and bead profiles allow us to match the period features of your property. Our range of historic and contemporary windows and doors allow further choices to ensure you get exactly what you require.

5. Wide Choice of Timber

For most projects, customers choose our standard Redwood WoodHeart®. Properly dried and handled, it’s a stable and long-lasting product with natural resistance to fungi. We also have a wide range of engineered hardwoods including European Oak and Sapele. Another popular option is Accoya, a chemically treated softwood that resists moisture penetration. Find out more.

6. Weather-Tight Seals

Dual or triple weather seals give better insulation and improved weather tightness. Extensive development and testing have allowed us to optimise the seal design to provide the best performance.

7. Ventilated Glazing Units

The sealed glazing unit stays dry and condensation free thanks to an innovative drainage and ventilation channel allowing the free flow of air around the unit.

8. External Rounds

All external profiles have rounded edges to provide better paint adhesion and as a result a longer lasting window.
