Bespoke Windows
Crafted to unique specifications, our bespoke windows combine traditional joinery with modern double-glazing technology. Ideal for heritage and contemporary properties, they offer thermal efficiency and acoustic performance. Available in curved, angled, or period-specific designs, tailored to client preferences.
Sash & Case Windows
Specialising in traditional Scottish sash and case windows, we use hardwood or redwood with slim sightlines for listed buildings. Features include draught-proofing, slimbar glazing, and heritage-approved fittings. Suitable for conservation areas and modern renovations.
External Doors
Secure, custom-designed external doors with multi-point locking systems. Options include glazed or solid hardwood, heritage styles, and bi-folding configurations. Finished with weather-resistant coatings to enhance durability and aesthetic appeal.
Heritage Windows
Designed for listed properties, these windows replicate single-glazed aesthetics with modern double-glazing. Approved for Grade A, B, and C buildings, they feature narrow cavities and traditional profiles like Lambs Tongue and Ogee moulds.
Custom Joinery
From cabinetry to screens, our custom joinery merges handcrafted precision with CNC technology. Services include design consultation, material selection, and installation, ensuring seamless integration with architectural styles and client needs.
