Are New Timber Windows Supplied Painted Prior To Double Glazing?

Learn all about the timber window manufacturing process from Dale Joinery when it comes to painting and double glazing!

One common question when choosing bespoke timber windows is whether they are supplied painted before double glazing is installed. At Dale Joinery, the answer is yes - our timber windows are expertly painted before the glazing is fitted, ensuring the highest-quality finish and long-lasting durability. This meticulous process ensures a durable, beautiful finish that protects the timber and enhances the overall quality of the product.

Why Are Timber Windows Painted Before Glazing?

Painting timber windows before double glazing is an essential step to protect the wood and ensure a flawless finish. This process ensures that all surfaces, including areas covered by glazing, are thoroughly coated to provide maximum protection against moisture, UV damage, and general wear and tear.

Dale Joinery's Market Leading Three Coat Finish

At Dale Joinery, we take pride in our meticulous painting process, designed to enhance both the appearance and durability of our timber windows. Here’s what sets us apart:

Three-Coat Microporous Finish

Our timber windows are finished with a factory-applied three-coat microporous paint system. This coating allows the wood to breathe while providing robust protection against the elements, reducing the risk of cracking, peeling, or warping over time.

Uniform Coverage

By painting before the double glazing is installed, every surface of the window, including hidden edges and joints, is evenly coated. This ensures comprehensive protection and contributes to the window’s longevity.

Customised Colour Options

We offer a range of customisable colour options, allowing you to choose a finish that complements your home’s style. From traditional heritage tones to contemporary shades, our finishes are designed to suit your unique preferences.

Expert Craftsmanship

Each window undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure a smooth, professional finish. Our painting process is performed by skilled technicians who pay attention to every detail, ensuring the final product meets our exacting standards.

When Is the Glazing Installed?

Once the painting process is complete, the double glazing is carefully installed. At Dale Joinery, we use advanced draught sealing and glazing units that are twice as effective as standard double-glazing units. These units offer superior energy efficiency and sound insulation. Internally beaded glazing ensures added security and a seamless appearance.

Our standard units feature a 16mm space between the 4mm glass panes (Annealed or Toughened), which are typically filled with Argon gas. However, we offer Krypton and Xenon options at an additional cost.

Argon, Krypton, and Xenon provide exceptional thermal properties and sound insulation advantages. For more information on selecting the best option for your needs, contact our expert team for guidance and expertise or request a Dale Joinery brochure online.
