Hi all, has anyone on here used woodenwindows.com? They seems keenly priced, they are associated with StairBox, which we are also planning on using for the stairs for our selfbuild.

 

So any info on woodenwindows or stairbox will be greatly appreciated.

Stair box is very good But you will need to be very certain of your measurements 

If you use a local timber merchant and the stairs don’t fit It’s there problem not yours 

 

Hardwood timber frames are very expensive and require a lot of looking after 

The supplier I have come across is John Carr 

 

Ive a friend who has a workshop and makes timber frames for a living 

But isn’t using timber on his due to maintenance 

Thanks Nod, it looks for us to be 10k for pine and 17k for oak. We've been told we have to use wooden windows.

That sounds expensive unless you have a lot or large windows.

 

I had a quick look and those did not look in any way special to me, not even a triple glazed option.

 

Have you looked at the likes of Rationel who do wooden windows?

Argh, quite right, spreadsheet failure.

 

They are £3.7k vs £6.7k.

 

A 2.5m by 1.4m window was aprox £700 in pine and £1,130 in oak.

If the windows are going to be painted, is it worth going for oak or even Sapele?
