Engineered hardwood bi-folds running on top-hung stainless gear — the timber alternative to aluminium, with far better thermal performance.

What is included
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.

Questions
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.
Which hardwood should I choose?
It depends on the finish. For painted work, Idigbo and Accoya are excellent — stable, even-grained and superb paint substrates. For a stained or oiled finish where the grain is meant to show, European oak and Sapele are the usual choices. We will recommend a species at survey based on your finish and exposure.
What is Accoya and is it worth the premium?
Accoya is timber that has been acetylated — chemically modified so it no longer absorbs water. It barely moves, does not rot, and carries a 50-year above-ground warranty. It is the single best paint substrate available. For exposed elevations and coastal sites the premium usually pays for itself.
