Custom-crafted front and patio doors combining traditional design with modern security and thermal performance in South London.
Featured Ranges in Our Brockley Installation
Traditional timber sash windows were specified throughout the St Margaret’s Road property, with both traditional pulley-operated and spring-balanced configurations used according to the individual opening. Manufactured in Engineered Red Grandis, the windows combine traditional proportions with project-specific detailing.
Selected sash windows feature 17mm bonded astragal bars with duplex grilles and Kensington horns, while bronze Fitch locks and hook lifts complete the traditional specification. The predominant finish was Little Greene Light Bronze Green, creating a consistent appearance across the different sash configurations.
Traditional Flush Casement Windows were also specified at St Margaret’s Road, including within some of the project’s distinctive arched window arrangements. These combine central casements with spring-balanced sash windows, creating a coordinated composition while responding to the shape and proportions of each opening.
Details include true-radius arched infills, floating mullions, and 17mm bonded astragal bars with duplex grilles. Fixed upper casements incorporate stained glass with 9mm rectangular leading, while opening casements were specified with bronze Barrington bulb-end handles.
The project at St Margaret’s Road included a bespoke timber front door, crafted to match the period aesthetic of the property. In addition to its heritage design, the front door incorporated modern features for improved security, with a multi-point locking system, and energy efficiency, with advanced insulation.
Customisation options allowed the owners to select from a range of finishes, colours, and ironmongery, ensuring the door perfectly suited the property’s character. Crafted from sustainably sourced timber, the door offers exceptional durability and long-term performance.
At the rear of the property, timber patio doors were installed, featuring slim profiles – these timber doors helped to maximise natural light throughout the space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. With finishes and glazing types such as acoustic or low-emissivity glass to choose from.

Timber Sash Windows & French Doors in Brockley
On St Margaret’s Road in Brockley, South London, the project brought together timber sash windows, casement windows, a front door, and patio doors across the property. The window specification included both traditional pulley-operated and spring-balanced sashes, alongside flush casements and distinctive arched window arrangements.
Engineered Red Grandis, traditional detailing, bronze furniture, and carefully considered glazing patterns give the different window styles a consistent visual language.
Project Details & Challenges
One of the most distinctive parts of the window specification was the combination of different opening styles within the larger arched compositions. Spring-balanced sash windows sit alongside central flush casements, with curved upper sections specified to follow a true-radius design.
The detailing was adapted to individual windows. Selected units feature 17mm bonded astragal bars with duplex grilles, while fixed upper casements incorporate stained glass with 9mm rectangular leading. Floating mullions were also specified within the central arched casements, allowing the design to respond to these more unusual openings.
Environmental Strengths
The timber windows specified for St Margaret’s Road were manufactured in Engineered Red Grandis. The manufacturer states that FSC-certified engineered timber is used across its timber products, providing a documented basis for responsible timber sourcing.
For this project, the engineered timber construction was combined with argon-filled double glazing and the traditional detailing required across the different sash and casement designs.
Traditional Details Across the Window Scheme
The St Margaret’s Road specification shows how different timber window types can share a consistent set of architectural details. Traditional sash proportions sit alongside flush casements and more unusual arched configurations, with glazing bars, bronze furniture, and carefully selected finishes providing continuity across the scheme.
The specification included Kensington horns, bronze Fitch locks and hook lifts, Barrington handles, stained-glass sections, and Little Greene Light Bronze Green across much of the window joinery.
