I have known SPS for over 10 years and in that time they have fitted an extensive number of casement windows, front doors, french doors, and bifold doors on two houses. The product quality is excellent and has improved over time. The style and mouldings are a perfect match for the type of property (1930’s). They are very good at creating bespoke pieces for any form of awkward opening, and you will always receive detailed CAD drawings for all items. The measures and fitters are excellent, the team is long standing and that experience shows in the quality of the final installation. The whole process from design through manufacture to fit takes time, but it is well worth the wait. Finally the earliest windows fitted still look fantastic even many years later.

Timber

At SPS Timber Windows we not only create beautiful timber doors but ensure that their performance is optimised through the use of the highest quality timber available.

Weather sealing

Opening sections of the frame are fitted with Aquamac weather seals, a premium quality product which provides consistently high standards of energy efficiency.

Glass and glazing

Our doors are double-glazed to “A” rated specifications, exceeding the latest building regulation requirements.

Our sealed 22 mm double-glazed units, comprising of low “E” glass, argon filled “Swisspacer” bar and Pilkington Optiwhite™ extra clear, low iron glass provide an indicative centre pane U-value of 1.2 W/m²K.

We offer a wide variety of glass types to suit specific requirements, including:

Toughened glass
Laminated glass
Acoustic glass
Double-glazed units can incorporate SGG STADIP SILENCE^® acoustic insulating 6.8mm laminated glass (35db Rw) to provide additional sound insulation and security. The incorporation of a totally transparent interlayer absorbs sound and reduces the level transmitted through the glass, helping to keep noise in or out.
Leaded glass

Our drained and vented glazing rebates allow any moisture to escape through small concealed drainage holes, which helps to maximise the life of our double-glazed units.

Finishing

We use the most comprehensive treatment and finishes for our timber doors to ensure their longevity and minimise maintenance.

Advanced microporous treatment and paint systems combine superior standards of extensibility, adhesion and colour retention, enabling maintenance periods to be extended and redecoration to require only one coat application.

Our timber doors are primed with two spray-applied coats of white primer undercoat and mid-coat and are finished with a spray-applied top coat in a white semi-gloss finish to provide the ultimate in durability and weather resistance.

Once installed, our decorators brush apply a further finish top coat to the doors and frames, as required, at which point the surrounding walls are also made good and decorated internally to fully complete the installation.

Specified paint colours can be colour matched.

We also offer the option of dual colour.

Folding sliding door, bi-folding door styles

The most popular configuration consists of four doors, with the first door opening independently and the three additional doors folding back to one side. This configuration allows for the independent door and the next door to be opened like a set of French doors.

We can make any configuration of sliding doors to create a 3, 4, 5 or 6 door system, with an independent door as described above, or alternatively, the design can allow for all doors to fold back to one side.

Take a look at our Gallery for examples of completed folding sliding door installations.
