Timbers GoodWood / Glacial Oak

Timber windows and doors made from GoodWood Victorian ash and Glacial Oak (American Oak) are arguably the best on the market.

Perfect for traditional style homes or architectural masterpieces, hardwood windows are naturally hard-wearing, strong, energy efficient and visually stunning.

GoodWood Victorian ash and Glacial Oak are straight line edged after drying, have minimal pink colouring, are internally scanned for defects and are available either as solid timber or finger-jointed material.

Companies incorporating our hardwood timber in their construction have been able to achieve BAL29 and BAL40 (Bushfire Attack Level) rating, although the timber properties naturally achieve BAL-19 without additional tests.
