Why the oldest window frame
material is the modern choice
Architects appreciate the look and feel of high quality materials, but are naturally attracted to innovative ideas, especially when they bring the promised of enhanced performance. So it’s interesting to see timber – the oldest of materials for window frames – enjoying something of a renaissance over the last few years.

Eden Business Man returns from retirement to save his firm
A BUSINESSMAN who returned from retirement to save his former firm when it was about to go into liquidation has been reflecting on a successful first year.
Alan James Chapelhow, established A. J. & D. Chapelhow Ltd., a general joinerery business, in 1961 and later diversified into the construction and erection of timber-framed houses.
