The Secret to Strength: Acetylated Wood

Our wooden doors and windows undergo a science-backed process called acetylation, significantly enhancing their durability and performance, setting them apart from conventional options.

All our doors and windows are made from sustainably grown softwood transformed through a unique modification process called acetylation. This is not just a surface-level treatment; it changes the wood from the inside out.

Here’s how it works:

• We start with responsibly grown softwood from certified forests.

• The wood is treated using a process based on acetic anhydride (a compound related to vinegar).

• This permanently changes the structure of the wood at a molecular level, making it far less absorbent.

• Wood will not swell, shrink, or warp with weather changes. It will become naturally resistant to rot, insects, and decay, all without the need for toxic preservatives.

Built for the Harshest Climates

Whether you're dealing with humid summers, freezing winters, or salty coastal air, these doors and windows are designed to stay strong and look great.

Because the wood is so dimensionally stable, it won’t swell, shrink, or warp with changes in temperature or moisture.

That means:

• Windows that open and close smoothly year after year

• Doors that stay true to their fit, with no sticking or jamming

• Less maintenance, fewer repairs, and peace of mind

Paint That Lasts Longer, Looks Better

This isn’t just any wood. Because of the way it's modified, it holds paint and coatings much better than traditional timber. That means:

• Longer-lasting paint finishes; coatings last up to twice as long

• Less cracking, peeling, or flaking

• Lower maintenance over time

• More vibrant colour that stays true for years

Whether you want a bold front door in a rich colour or soft, natural tones for your window frames, we’ve got you covered.

Sustainably Sourced, Naturally Responsible

We care deeply about the planet—and we know you do, too. That’s why the wood we use comes from certified sustainable forests. The acetylation process is entirely non-toxic and uses no harmful substances, making the final product not just long-lasting but also environmentally responsible.

Unlike many synthetic alternatives, wood is 100% recyclable at the end of its long life. It’s a smart choice for your home and the environment.
