Timber Windows
We manufacture precision-engineered timber windows combining traditional craftsmanship with modern performance standards. Our sash & case windows maintain historic authenticity while incorporating reversible hinges and advanced weatherproofing. Available in various configurations including casement, tilt & turn, and specialist shapes, each window undergoes rigorous quality checks. Our climate-controlled finishing facility ensures durable paint or varnish applications that protect against Scotland's variable weather conditions.
Timber Doors
Our bespoke timber doors blend aesthetic appeal with structural integrity, available as entrance doors, internal panels, or commercial door sets. Crafted from premium timbers like European oak and sapele, each door features flaw-checked materials to prevent post-installation issues. We offer traditional raised-and-fielded designs alongside contemporary styles with custom ironmongery options. Water-based finishes ensure environmental compliance while maintaining timber's natural movement characteristics.
