Wood Types
 Most of our windows are made from Oak, Iroko or Douglas fir

Iroko is mainly grown in West Africa. It looks like teak and has the properties of teak. It is extremely stable and is ideal for windows and doors. It is naturally one of the most durable timbers as it contains natural oil. It needs no preservative outside. When oil is applied the colour tends to be slightly darker and not as golden as Oak. Iroko will fade to a silvery colour in time.

Oak – Northern European oak is denser and stronger than wood from central regions as it grows slower. Much of the wood harvested in Britain is done so under the scrutiny of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). We select our wood carefully to ensure that each piece is suitable for production.

Softwood. There are many different grades of softwood. We mainly use Douglas Fir as it is very durable and in our experience needs little attention in the future.
