THE UK's FIRST WINDORFLEX WINDOW & DOOR CNC MACHINING CELL
We are pleased to announce the installation of the UK’s first SCM Windorflex window and door CNC machining cell. This cutting-edge technology from Italy’s SCM Group, based in Rimini, has transformed our manufacturing processes.
Expertly programmed by our own highly skilled craftspeople and their technical partners JoinerySoft, and utilising the finest Oertli custom tooling, the Windorflex can now automate many traditional manufacturing techniques.
The Windoflex efficiently reproduces windows and doors that once were highly labour intensive. The techniques and methods that once could only be delivered by hand, by experienced craftspeople, can now be reproduced at speed on this revolutionary machine.
The Windoflex - allied with other SCM machinery in the workshop - allows us to maintain exceptional standards whilst delivering improved turn-round times and more competitive pricing.
The introduction of this new technology also allows our traditional craftspeople more time to focus their unique talents on highly bespoke projects involving pieces that can only be handcrafted using methods and skills honed over decades. Allowing us to expand our handmade bespoke joinery services.
After over 60 years, we are proud to continue to be at the forefront of both modern woodworking technologies and traditional craft skills.
"SCM would like to thank AJ&D Chapelhow for their confidence in choosing the Windorflex. We are proud to contribute to the growth of a leading UK window and door manufacturer, supporting its commitment to ever more efficient, productive and innovative production - states Gabriele De Col, Scm Uk Managing Director - Our advanced technology is designed to improve the speed and accuracy of manufacturing processes, with a strong focus on sustainability, which is key to meeting the challenges of an ever-changing market. Being at AJ&D Chapelhow's side in this journey is a great honour for us".

The Benefits of Wood
Timber window frames have a natural, traditional charm that can’t be found with any other window material. Delivering your home with a natural insulation, wooden windows will also keep the heat in, cold out and will help to reduce your energy bills. Your timber windows can last as long as 60 years, are a long-term investment, whilst as a naturally durable material, able to withstand the most severe of weather, timber window frames and our variety of locks will help to increase the security of your home.
Over the years we have encountered a wealth of listed building and planning legislation laws and are more than happy to help with advice regarding the installation of our timber windows for listed buildings.
We offer a free quotation service and also a measuring service for Supply and Fit project so if you are looking for a quotation either from an on-site visit, detailed plans or a sketch with estimated sizes we are happy to help. Alternatively we are more than happy to send one of our joiners to any job that requires on-site measuring, ensuring peace of mind and the quality of service for which we are renowned.
We are able to work with your architect and help with any planning enquiries and are also happy to work with you, to guide you in your timber choice, window choice, colour choice, door choice and even glass choice

Our Commitment To The Environment
Growing trees are essential to absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen but as they become older they become less able to absorb carbon dioxide. It is therefore essential that we harvest the trees and replace them with younger ones. Under the rules of certified forest management, for every tree cut down, two new ones are planted.
The Finest Quality Sustainable Timber
Timber is an environmentally friendly building material and positively contributes to health and wellbeing. Here at AJ&D Chapelhow we purchase timber only from sources that hold either the FSC® or PEFC™ chain of custody certification schemes.
The timber is carefully selected by ourselves to ensure we reach the highest standard of quality and in accordance with BS1186 Part 1 1986. Where specified our windows and doors can also be manufactured using the finest hardwood with choices varying from Redwood to Oak or other specified timber. Visit our all about wood page.
In the past two years we have replaced our old inefficient generators to use a green technology that now produces our electricity which in turn has reduced our carbon footprint. All the heat which the generator creates is refocused internally back into our workshops and spray room eliminating the need for additional heating.
