Testimonials
Timbers used for our timber doors.
Stable timbers that enhance paint coating lifespan is the key to the long life of a window because if the coating remains intact, the window will last indefinitely.
Timber
Accoya® | A modified timber and one of the world’s leading, long-life woods with a 50 year warranty against rot and warping. |
Laminated Timber | Vacuum/pressure, Protim water based treated Redwood with a 30year warranty against rot and warping |
Natural Finish | Light oaks, Douglas Fir and Red Grandis with a 30 year warranty |
Glass
Glass & Glazing Types | Glazed to ‘A’ rated specification mainly consisting of 20mm Optiwhite glazing double glazed sealed units (4-12-4). This provides a centre pane U-value of 1.2w/m2k (the lower the number, the better the thermal insulation); The use of OptiwhiteTM glass helps to provide high visual clarity and purity of colour as there is no green tinge associated with some double glazing. This glass also gives more solar heat gain since it allows more heat from the sun, which can save on energy bills during the winter months. |

Draught/Weatherproofing | To enhance the thermal insulation of the window, high specification seals, concealed within the window structure, are positioned so that they can be easily replaced if and when necessary. |
