Glasgow is a county of sandstone tenements with generous room heights and original press cupboards. 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 Glasgow, 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
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Windows in Glasgow — common questions
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.
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 you charge for the survey and drawings?
The measured survey and the quotation are free. If you want fully detailed manufacturing drawings or a 3D visual before committing, that is chargeable and the fee comes off the job if you proceed.
