TIMBERS
At The Good House you can choose from 4 different timber species, to best suit your budget and design requirements.
They all are sourced from sustainably managed forests, under FSC or PEFC agreements.
With timber windows you can be assured of choosing the most environmentally friendly material, 100% recyclable.
For better stability, our timbers come laminated in 2 or 3 plies with clean inside face (no exposed finger jointing).
European Red Wood:
This is the timber our standard range is made of. Sourced from Scandinavia and North Eastern Europe, it is one of the most commonly used timber in construction in Europe thanks to its combined durability and affordability. It is very similar in appearance and characteristics to radiata pine though more frost resistant, with an average density of 550 kilos per cubic meters, at 12% moisture content. It is also known as Scots pine and the botanical name is Pinus Sylvestris.
It takes the stain very well and looks at it best with a natural oil finish.
A full 3 coat white finish is also available at a 5 to 10% extra cost (depending on the size).Tropical Red Wood:
This commercial name encompasses species of very durable, medium density, red coloured timbers.
It is your timber of choice for a painted finish and harsh weather conditions or maximum longevity.Eucalyptus:
Our windows and French doors can be custom made out of plantation Eucalypt species with an average density of 630 kilos per cubic meters, and no visible finger joints on both faces. This is your timber of choice for extra strong window frames.
European Oak:
Choose European Oak and make a statement that will underline the French Provincial style of your new home. With its famous medallion random pattern, oak is suitable for traditional period style as well as contemporary streamline design. Custom made only, our oak frames come with 1 or 2 finger jointed-clean faces, and as an option you can choose a different finish for inside and outside.
