The final five percent
The details are what make bespoke look bespoke.
Paint, hardware, glazing, mouldings, bars and feature glass are not accessories added at the end. They are part of how the joinery belongs to the house.
Designed around the property
A good specification is a material language.
The finish should connect the window or door to the surrounding architecture. That can mean matching an original moulding, choosing a quieter hardware finish, reproducing a glazing pattern or using colour to make an entrance feel deliberate.

Buying & specification guide
Finishes and details that make bespoke joinery feel resolved
Useful questions to resolve before the final survey and manufacturing specification.
Paint, glass, hardware and mouldings influence how a window or door belongs to the architecture. These are not simply decorative extras: they change the scale, contrast, privacy and period character of the finished joinery.
We can match colour by paint reference, offer a range of hardware finishes and specify specialist glazing, alongside bespoke internal mouldings and external detailing matched to original features.
Paint colour
Interior and exterior colours can be considered separately where the room and façade need different treatments.
Hardware finish
Antique brass, chrome, satin chrome, black and pewter each create a different level of contrast against painted timber.
Glass character
Acoustic, obscured, restoration-style or decorative glass should be chosen according to both performance and appearance.
