APPROACH

ONE SUBJECT

We work on one thing: windows. Whatever the opening, the window is made to fit it.

What made to order means

Made to order means the window starts with your opening, not a catalogue size. It might be a casement for a narrow bathroom wall, a run of sashes for a front room, a wide sliding unit onto a deck or a fixed pane set high in a stairwell. Each one is built around the type, frame and glass it needs.

With no standard range to squeeze into, the conversation starts with the opening and what it has to do. It might need to open, let air in, keep noise out, hold heat or simply look right on the house.

FOCUS

THE DETAILS

Windows only

When all the work is windows, all the attention goes to the details. How a sash runs in its box. How a casement closes against its seal. How a frame meets the wall, and how much glass a room can take.

That focus shapes this site too. You won’t find a broad list of building work here. You’ll find guides that go deep on one subject, so you can make an enquiry already knowing what you want.

DETAIL — Hardware on a timber frame.

RANGE

EVERY OPENING

Any type, to order

CASEMENT · SASH · AWNING · SLIDING · FIXED · BAY

Every type of window starts the same way. First we look at the opening, then at how the window should move, and last at what it’s made from. A tall sash suits some rooms and a wide awning suits others. The shape of the wall and how you use the room usually point to the answer.

The Window Styles Guide explains how each type opens and where it tends to work best. Custom Windows Made to Order covers the service, and How a Custom Window Order Starts walks through the first steps.

DECIDE

Decide before you draw

A custom window is a handful of choices made in the right order: type, frame, glass and look, then the sizes. The guides below follow that sequence, so each one prepares you for the next.
