New build

Purpose-built for the home you're building.

Full aluminium window-and-door packages for new homes, engineered to your plans and delivered to the build programme. We work direct with architects, builders and homeowners, from shop drawings through to delivery on site, ready for your build team to install.

Why choose new-build joinery.

For a new build, the joinery is designed in from the start. We take off quantities from your plans, prepare shop drawings for sign-off, and fabricate a complete package of thermally broken aluminium windows and doors to suit the design, the site and the H1 energy requirements. Everything is made to one standard and one colour, and scheduled to land when the build needs it.

Scheduled to your programme
Fabrication is planned around your build dates, so joinery arrives when it's needed, not weeks early.

A good fit when…

New homes and full rebuilds
Architects and designers specifying joinery
Builders and developers needing whole-house packages
Projects that must meet H1 energy requirements

Renovating an existing home rather than building new? An insert or full replacement is likely the better fit.

Two systems. Specced for your job.

Both share the same frame profile and hardware family: pick by thermal performance and opening size. We'll spec the right one during quote.
