Britain's Finest
Timber Windows & Doors

This beautiful Kent Oast House was originally designed to dry hops as part of the beer brewing process. Today, it has been converted into a beautiful family home using traditional timber casement windows, entrance door and french doors. Using timber as a material for the windows and doors has been a great choice for this project, using traditional joinery methods, complimenting it’s long history and past.

For this project the owners chose simple casement windows from our Conservation Range, offering a flush-line appearance which are perfect for traditional refurbishment projects.

For curved buildings, some clients might opt for curved on plan units, where the frame and glazing are both curved. However, there are some tricks for making your windows appear curved and using just a curved cill can create the illusion of a round unit, for less cost.

This client decided to opt for a traditional Ovolo frame profile and no glazing bars, making the most of the light and view, matching the original design. All products were finished in our popular Anthracite Grey.

Our ironmongery ranges have been selected on quality, design, security and longevity. This client opted for a Croft Floe Elegance handle, Croft Ring Knocker and Coastal letterplate, all finished in Brushed Chrome.

Based in the Essex countryside and with sustainability considerations being an important part of the build, Ed and his family wanted to source products that would complement their 'Eco' vision. Being a carbon neutral and Made in Britain manufacturer and using natural timber materials for all products, Ed thought that Mumford & Wood would be the perfect fit for their project.

Traditional timber sash windows and timber french doors helped them to achieve them the classic, natural aesthetic they were looking for whilst achieving the thermal and acoustic performance that was so important for their new build family home.

They also chose an elegant, hand-made timber entrance door featuring fully glazed sidelights, ensuring their hallway was always flooded with light.

" My parents had Mumford & Wood windows fitted nearly 20 years ago and they look as good today as they did when new. This influenced our decision to also purchase our windows and doors from Mumford & Wood, as we had witnessed first hand the great quality and finish that can be achieved when using the right manufacturer. We couldn't recommend them enough. "

Set within a prestigious and private development in Essex, this project involved a complete rebuild, creating a new, large family home.

Working closely with developer Chris Gennings from REN Developments we understood his desire to create a modern home with a classic look. We agreed that timber Spring Sash windows would be a perfect fit for the façade, with a feature timber bullseye window to the third floor.

With restricted head height to this top floor, it was important to captivate as much light as possible for these rooms. We designed a set of large triangular fixed casement windows, giving far reaching views across the garden and beyond.

The house was completed with a large, highly secure entrance door with Ovolo profile.

Chris comments;

"The quality of Mumford & Wood products is unrivalled. From both a homeowner and contractor perspective, we have been impressed with everything from the initial survey, design, manufacturing to install. They have been a pleasure to deal with and the new owners of this dream property are looking forward to enjoying the beauty of these products for many years to come."
