Bespoke Timber Sliding Sash Windows in St Mawes, Cornwall
We were commissioned to manufacture a complete set of bespoke timber sliding sash windows for a Victorian property in St Mawes. The existing windows had deteriorated beyond economical repair, and the homeowner wanted replacements that retained the character of the original building while improving thermal performance and security.

Every property presents different challenges. In this project, the original openings varied by up to 18 mm, so each box frame was manufactured individually rather than relying on standard dimensions. This ensured a precise fit while preserving the original masonry and reducing the need for remedial work during installation.
