Windows

Timber windows

Laminated solid timber: clean sightlines, uninterrupted glazing and large sizes.

Historic villa, Karviná, 2021

What sets our timber windows apart

  1. Made to measure

    In the dimensions and divisions that follow from the design of the building.

  2. Three profile depths

    68, 78 and 92 mm - from the standard profile to the energy-efficient ones.

  3. Four-coat finish

    With water-based paints, in a palette of 36 samples.

  4. Since 1957

    A family business, run continuously since 1957.

Profiles

Timber window profiles

The timber, hardware and finish stay the same. The profiles differ in frame depth and glazing unit, and with them in thermal insulation.

    Ug = 1.1 W/m²K · double glazing

  • Corner section of a timber window with a 78 mm profile depth

    ABA 78 mm

    energy-efficient profile

    Ug = 0.6 W/m²K · triple glazing

  • Corner section of a timber window with a 92 mm profile depth

Shapes

Shaped windows

Joinery is also made in non-standard shapes, matched to the opening and to the composition of the façade.

Windows in non-standard shapes
  • Circular timber window in a light façade, with a vertical division
    01 / 05

    Circular

    Fits where there is no room for an ordinary window: in a bathroom, a stairwell or an attic. Depending on its size, as fixed glazing or an opening, tilting or pivot window, and on request also in an oval shape.

    Circular windows
  • Arched timber window with glazing bars, seen from inside a bright room
    02 / 05

    Arched

    Gives a room style, especially with glazing bars, and suits historic palaces as well as modern buildings. In an opening or a tilting version; where the rise of the arch is greater, the tilting version can be fitted in a roof slope.

    Arched windows
  • Triangular timber window in the gable of a building, in light timber
    03 / 05

    Triangular

    Most often in attics and stairwells, as its shape follows the form of the roof. Depending on its size, as fixed glazing, a tilt and turn window or a tilting-only window.

    Triangular windows
  • Horizontal timber window topped with a shallow arch, in the gable of a building
    04 / 05

    Bullseye

    A roof window that brings light into the attic and adds interest to the form of the roof. We make it in any size and shape, to our own design or to one supplied by the customer.

    Bullseye windows
  • Band of trapezoidal windows under a sloping attic ceiling, seen from inside
    05 / 05

    Trapezoidal

    An opening with an angled head.

Detail

Timber window detail and construction

Timber, machining and finish up close. For how a window is made, see the knowledge section.

Production in the knowledge section
  • A stack of laminated timber blocks with the laminations visible

    Laminated timber

    Usually three laminations, stable through changes in temperature and humidity.

  • Corner of a timber window in section, with triple glazing, on a light floor

    Profile section

    The timber construction, glazing unit and seals all affect thermal insulation.

  • Fitting a timber window frame member in the ABA Wiktorczyk production hall

    Precise machining

    Machined, fitted and sanded to the precision required.

Working with us

From the first conversation to installation

Three stages of working together on made-to-measure joinery, from understanding your needs to production and installation, with one team responsible for the whole job.

Colour

Timber window colours

Four coats of water-based paint, from our range.

Walnut, Pine

This colour on:

The samples show roughly how the colour looks on a given timber species. The final appearance of the joinery depends on the type of timber, its colour and grain, and the type of paint coating.

As standard

Materials and features

Which timber the windows are made from and what we fit as standard, whatever frame depth you choose. Besides the standard tilt and turn opening, our joinery is also made in other opening types: sliding, folding and pivot.

Full list of features
  • Open sash of a white timber window with metal hardware along the bottom edge

    Hardware

    Carefully refined hardware combines aesthetics with functionality, making the windows comfortable and smooth to open.

  • Corner sample of a timber window with triple glazing and light-coloured spacer bars along the glass edge

    Warm edge spacer

    The SGG SWISSPACER spacer bar between the panes limits the thermal bridge where the glass meets the frame, raises the temperature at the glass edge and reduces the risk of condensation.

Talking about your project

Choosing a profile starts with the building

We agree the frame depth, timber species and glazing once we understand the architecture and technical requirements of the building.
