Slim Cavity Glazing across Cornwall
If Slim Cavity Glazing in Cornwall were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Given the granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. What accelerates it is the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, and accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines follows sooner than owners expect. What you are paying for is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
One thing that catches people out here: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cornwall?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cornwall including Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell and the surrounding villages. Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain. Because the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
