Sash windows wood

For our wooden sash windows, we only use high-quality hardwood. Hardwood is considered superior to softwood because it has a more complex structure consisting of multiple pores and vessels. Hardwood is also much harder and more water-resistant, making it the perfect choice for construction. We always take extra care to ensure that the timber engineering process goes smoothly. We use a unique technique that involves applying multiple sections of timber and arranging them in opposite directions. This is done in order to strengthen the timber, making it stiffer and more inflexible. It is particularly useful in the construction of French doors, for example, as it helps make them more durable and prevents twisting and deflecting so that you can enjoy your doors for many years. Engineered timber is usually crafted from Meranti or Mahogany, but the final choice is yours.

We offer a great selection of wood for your sash windows.

Regardless of its colours, however, it is a very popular choice for windows due to its relatively low price for hardwood while still maintaining a solid, reliable quality. It is naturally resistant to decay and insect attacks.

While rarely used for the manufacture of sash windows, mahogany remains one of the most well-known and respected types of wood due to its incredibly stable, reliable build and natural good looks.
