Ceredigion is a county of colour-washed coastal terraces and remote stone farmhouses. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood window has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every hardwood window we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Ceredigion, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Windows in Ceredigion — common questions
What about conservation areas?
Timber windows are usually what the officer wants, but the detail matters — the profile, the bar width, whether the glass is putty-line or bead. We drive the drawings from that.
Are they draughty like old timber windows?
No. Modern hardwood windows carry brush and compression seals in the rebate. The draughts people associate with timber come from hundred-year-old joints, not from the material.
Which species do you use?
Accoya for painted work — it barely moves, so paint lasts. Sapele and utile for stained finishes. European oak where the building demands it, detailed with stainless fixings because oak tannin corrodes ordinary steel and stains the timber black.
Do they need painting often?
Factory-finished accoya typically goes eight to ten years before a maintenance coat. Softwood on the same elevation would want attention in three to five.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
