Hardwood Cottage Windows in Caerphilly
Chunky sections, small panes and simple ironmongery — the cottage window done properly in hardwood rather than thin softwood.
We build hardwood cottage windows for Caerphilly homes to the size of the hole in the wall, not to the nearest standard unit. That is the whole reason to specify timber in the first place.
Specified for Caerphilly properties
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
- Warm-edge spacer bars as standard, which cut the cold bridge at the glass edge and reduce condensation.
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
- Compression seals rather than brush pile where the design allows, for a measurably tighter close.
- Micro-porous finishes that let the timber breathe rather than trapping moisture behind a hard film.
Homeowners across Caerphilly come to us for hardwood cottage windows after a uPVC replacement has aged badly. Timber is the material you specify when you intend to still be happy with it in twenty years.
We install across Caerphilly with our own fitting teams and make good internally as part of the price. No sub-contracted surprises.

Questions
What sort of guarantee do you offer?
Ten years on the joinery and the manufacture, and the sealed units carry their own manufacturer's warranty. Accoya frames carry the 50-year above-ground timber warranty from the material supplier. All of it is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Will the timber warp or stick?
Not if it is specified correctly. Sticking comes from moisture ingress into unsealed end grain, or from solid stock used where laminated sections were needed. Kiln-dried timber, sealed end grain, factory finishing and engineered sections on longer spans between them eliminate it.
Can you fit trickle vents?
Where Building Regulations require background ventilation, we design it into the head of the frame at manufacture. That looks far better and performs far better than a vent drilled through a finished frame on site.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent turns on detail — sightlines, glazing bar sections, opening method and glass type. We survey the existing joinery, record the profiles and produce drawings you can submit. We will not quote a detail we know will not pass.
How much maintenance do they need?
Far less than people expect. Wash the frames twice a year, inspect the finish annually, and expect to recoat exposed elevations every eight to ten years. Sheltered elevations often go considerably longer. Modern micro-porous coatings are a different product entirely from the gloss paints that gave timber its reputation.
