Why choose it
Built to Perform, Made to Last
Made to measure
Every door is built to your exact opening, hung to suit the room and finished to match your home.
High-security locking
High-security multipoint locking and toughened or laminated glass options give you peace of mind as standard.
Warm and weathertight
Insulating timber, high-performance glazing and quality seals keep the warmth in and the draughts out.
Sustainable timber
Made from responsibly and sustainably sourced timber, a renewable material that can be repaired rather than replaced.
Coastal-ready finish
Factory-applied finishes stand up to the worst of the Sussex coast and Weald, with minimal upkeep.
Any RAL colour
Choose from our standard palette or almost any RAL colour.
Ironmongery

Glazing
Glass Options
Choose from a broad range of practical and decorative glazing to finish your door.
Toughened
Heat-treated for strength: it takes far more force to break, and breaks into small, rounded pieces that are less likely to cause injury.
Laminated
A clear interlayer bonds two panes together, so if the glass is broken the pieces stay put rather than falling away.
Opaque / obscure
Textured or frosted glazing that keeps a glazed door private without shutting out the light.
Featured designs
A choice of decorative glass patterns to add individual character while keeping a timeless look.
Privacy
Obscure Glazing
Patterned and textured glass keeps the light while restricting the view, ideal for private rooms.
Privacy where you need it
Perfect for bathrooms, en-suites, ground-floor rooms and glazed front doors.
Classic textures
Subtle, traditional patterns that suit period and cottage homes.
Contemporary designs
Bolder, modern textures for a clean, current look.

How long does it take?
Timber windows are made to order, so lead times vary with the season and specification. We will give you a realistic timescale with your quote, and keep you updated through manufacture and installation.
