Accoya Timber For Your Doors and Windows?

It may not be as well known as Hardwood but the sustainability benefits that it brings is one of the reasons why Accoya timber doors and windows are becoming more and more popular. 
 

Accoya:

  1. The timber is guaranteed for 50 years and needs a very small amount of maintenance. 
  2. Generally speaking, the timber is light in colour which means you get an impressive choice of finishes that can be applied. 
  3. Sustainability is key, the timber combines the carbon benefits of softwood with the longevity of hardwood. World changing environmental credentials. 
  4. It can be used for all types of wood work projects from bespoke doors to sash / casement windows 
  5. Unbelievable thermal qualities, your home will stay cool on the hot days and warm in the winter. A great way to save money! 
  6. Renowned for its resistibility to swelling and shrinkage.

 Hardwood:
 
  1. It requires less treatment than other most common woods on the market
  2. Hardwood is a good insulator, adding that onto our in house glazing department, you can reach high thermal efficiency levels.
  3. Transparent coatings take to hardwood well, giving you the choice of all colours.  
 
We highly recommend Accoya Timber but many of our customers also choose our softwood or hardwood options, we’re proud to be able to cover a range of budgets homeowners have.

Our Bespoke Front Doors

Front Door Security

If you’ve got a dated property with the same door fitted, security is always a concern.

Whether that be authentic Edwardian, Victorian or Georgian styles, the design alongside security is something we strive for and at the heart of every bespoke door that we manufacture.

Our doors are fitted with the latest style locking systems which you can use from inside and outside.

We work with Banham security and other door hardware suppliers to provide you with a comprehensive fitting. 

Winter Ready

Houses lose an untold amount of heat through their front doors believe it or not, it’s such a common occurrence that during the colder season’s customers come to realise they’ve got a chilly draught or that the cold weather has damaged the construction of the door.

Our doors are made of Accoya timer unless specified otherwise, this allows a durable quality and a sustainable process – extremely hardwearing with several coats of paint! Protecting your door for many years to come, looking beautiful in all types of weather.

The forefront to the entrance of your home.
