Customization

Every system, every option.

Because we fabricate rather than import, options aren't packages, they're decisions made per project. This page is the full reference: finishes, glass, hardware and configurations available across every system we build.

Build it in 3D

Start in the configurator.

Begin your window customization in the 3D configurator: choose a system, set the opening size, then try finishes, glazing and hardware against a live model that updates as you go. Every option documented on this page is selectable in it.

When the specification looks right, send it to us from the tool and we will come back with pricing and a lead time.

Finish

Colour, inside and out.

Powder coating in hundreds of RAL colours, and anodised finishes where the metal should read as metal. Matte, satin and textured surfaces are all available.

Frames can be a different colour inside and out, black or bronze on the street elevation, white or a warm grey facing the room. It costs little and it's the single most common request we get.

Glass

The build-up does most of the work.

Thermal performance, noise reduction, security and privacy are all decided by the glazing build-up rather than the frame. We specify it per opening, a street-facing bedroom and a rear kitchen rarely want the same glass.

Hardware

Chosen per opening.

Handles

Ranges and finishes to match or contrast the frame, including concealed and flush options.

Locking

Multi-point locking as standard on external units, with upgraded cylinders and security hardware available.

Hinges

Concealed hinges where the sightline should be uninterrupted, surface hinges where a period look calls for it.

Bars & divisions

Where the grid matters.

Glazing bars change the character of a window more than almost any other option. Steel-look grids, simulated divided lights and true divisions are all available, and on a landmark or historic project the bar pattern is usually the detail that decides whether the elevation reads correctly.

An imported system is specified months before it's built, in a factory that never sees the building. Fabricating locally means an option is a conversation, not a change order.

FAQ

Options, answered.

Some do and some don’t, a non-standard RAL colour usually doesn’t move the number much, triple glazing does. We quote the specification you actually want rather than pricing a base unit and adding to it.
