Working with timber

High-tech, precision-manufactured glazing, doors and roof structures made with traditional materials.

Engineered wood – the heart of our products

Ecovia products are made with engineered wood of  the highest quality. Without it, our precision design and manufacture would count for nothing. Engineered wood  is exceptionally robust and stable and experiences limited movement in response to moisture, such as warping. It’s  the natural choice for demanding builds in almost all circumstances.

Why choose wood?

Wood is the original multi-purpose building material. Craftsmen and architects originally chose wood for its strength, durability and ready availability. Yet its beauty, sustainability credentials and adaptability render it as relevant today as it was in the past.

Having fallen out of favour in preference to steel, UPVC  and aluminium windows and doors, wood is experiencing a welcome renaissance. We believe it’s the perfect choice for window frames, doors and roof glazing; complementing contemporary architecture and pushing the boundaries  of technical performance.

We use just six types of wood

We source from sustainably managed forests that are as close to the factories as possible and plant more trees than we harvest.

Pine

Variable grain pattern, creating an attractive and original appearance. An excellent choice for lighter stains and paints.

Spruce

Excellent insulation properties; perfect for Passivhaus projects. A delicate grain pattern. Responds excellently to painting and washes.

Oak

Distinctive and premium; a warm, classic appearance. A beautiful choice for properties with exposed timbers.

Larch

Variable grain pattern, creating an attractive and original appearance. An excellent choice for lighter stains and paints.

Meranti

A naturally durable hardwood with a warm, reddish-brown hue. Its consistent grain and excellent workability make it a versatile and appealing choice for crafting elegant windows and doors.

Accoya

A type of softwood treated for the performance of a hardwood. Fast-growing, sustainable, exceptionally durable. Available in various painted finishes.
