We were commissioned to manufacture and install a bespoke package of custom Accoya timber French doors and casement windows for a historic property in Pilton, Somerset.
Working within strict listed building consent guidelines, every element was carefully designed and crafted to preserve the property’s architectural character while delivering modern performance and durability. Solid Accoya timber was chosen throughout to ensure the joinery remains perfectly stable, weather-resistant, and effortless to operate for decades.
Factory-Applied Teknos Clean White Finish
To protect the timber and highlight the clean Georgian-style glazing bars, all joinery received a high-performance 3-coat factory finish:
• Finish & Coating: Treated with a high-durability, micro-porous 3-coat Teknos spray system in clean white.
• Long-Lasting Protection: The exceptional stability of Accoya timber prevents movement, allowing the Teknos paint finish to last significantly longer without cracking or peeling compared to traditional softwoods or hardwoods.
Listed Building Compliance & Heritage Detail
Crafted to meet conservation requirements, the design seamless blends heritage proportions with high-performance timber craftsmanship:
• Georgian-Style Glazing: French doors feature classic multi-pane glass layouts framed by delicate, authentic glazing bars.
• Matching Casement Windows: Flush timber casement windows installed in natural stone openings, ensuring complete harmony across the building’s exterior.
• Classic Ironmongery: Completed with traditional dark hardware to maintain an authentic period feel while offering smooth, reliable functionality.
The finished installation demonstrates how bespoke Accoya joinery can fully comply with listed building requirements while upgrading energy efficiency and longevity for homes in Somerset.
