Personalize Your Finish With Bespoke Colors
Every tilt and turn window is factory-finished with eco-friendly, water-based paints and stains formulated for long-term weather resistance. You can select your finish from extensive RAL Classic, RAL Design, NCS, and BS color charts, or opt for an exact match to designer palettes from Farrow & Ball, Earthborn, or Fired Earth.
With both single and dual-color options available, you have the freedom to coordinate the external frame with your property’s brickwork or rendering while matching the internal finish to your interior decor.
Selecting Your Ideal Glazing
Glazing is a vital consideration for any project, and our timber tilt and turn windows are available with high-performance double or triple glazing. To achieve your desired aesthetic, you can incorporate 16mm, 25mm, or 35mm applied glazing bars to create beautiful traditional or contemporary patterns.
For homes in busier environments, we offer acoustic double glazing with impressive sound reduction ratings ranging from 33dB to 42dB. If privacy is a priority, we provide a variety of obscure glass patterns with varying levels of obscurity, rated from 1 to 5. You can also make a design feature out of your glazing using our unique translucent colored or opaque painted glass options.
To manage the effects of natural sunlight on large expanses of glass, solar control glazing can be seamlessly integrated into your tilt and turn windows. Available in ultra-clear, blue, green, and bronze tinted finishes, this specialized glass helps prevent indoor overheating. This makes it an ideal addition for low-energy eco-homes, especially when combined with our exceptional center-pane U-values that start from just 0.5W/m²K.
Heritage Hardware and Secure Locking Systems
Our timber tilt and turn windows feature the elegant, modern Connoisseur handle, designed to bring a sleek finish to your interior spaces. Available in five high-quality options (polished chrome, satin chrome, brass plated, black, and white), it easily coordinates with your home’s existing fixtures.

As a massive contemporary design trend, these muted tones have become a favored choice for modern property renovations. Our diverse selection of subtle shades ensures you will find the exact undertone to harmoniously blend with your home’s exterior palette.
Premium Timber Selections
Every window in our collection is expertly crafted from certified, sustainably sourced engineered laminated timber. We provide the choice between premium redwood (Scots Pine) and durable hardwood (Dark Red Meranti), both backed by our identical, comprehensive warranties. While both offer exceptional performance, our hardwood features a more open grain pattern, delivering a beautifully textured aesthetic that is especially striking when finished with a timber stain.
Accentuate the Natural Character of Wood Finishes
If you prefer an organic, rustic aesthetic, our extensive palette of premium translucent stains is designed to elevate the natural appeal of both Redwood (Scots Pine) and Hardwood (Dark Red Meranti) profiles. These specialised, sheer finishes are formulated to protect the wood while proudly putting the organic patterns and intricate grain of your new windows and doors on full display, bringing a layer of refined sophistication to your home’s architecture.
Bespoke Palette Harmonisation
To help you achieve a truly timeless aesthetic, we offer a specialised colour-matching service that replicates your favourite designer shades. You can select your ideal hue from the extensive collections of premium brands like Farrow & Ball, Earthborn, or Fired Earth.
Our dedicated specialists will collaborate closely with you to ensure a flawless colour translation, creating the perfect custom finish for your wooden windows and doors.
Paint & Stain Finishes FAQs
How Do I Care for My Wooden Windows and Doors?
What Distinguishes Finger-Jointed from Clear Timber?
We utilise finger-jointed timber as a budget-friendly option for our painted Redwood items, ensuring the interlocking seams remain completely hidden beneath the opaque paint layers.
Conversely, clear-faced timber is selected for our entire Hardwood range, as well as any Redwood products receiving a translucent stain. This premium material guarantees an uninterrupted, natural wood grain without any visible structural joints disrupting the final finish.
How Does Engineered Multi-Layered Timber Work?
We construct all Coluxor product lines using advanced multi-layered engineered timber. By layering the wood sections so the natural grains run in opposing directions, and entirely cutting away traditional flaws like knots and splits, we drastically enhance the structural strength of our frames.
Because these weak points are eliminated from key stress areas, this multi-layered design effectively stops the wood from twisting, warping, or bowing over time, guaranteeing a long-lasting, high-performing product.
Should I Choose Softwood or Hardwood for My Home?
Our softwood range is crafted from flaw-free, engineered Scandinavian Pine, available with a choice of either a seamless clear face or a finger-jointed outer layer. For our hardwood alternatives, we utilize premium, flaw-free laminated Dark Red Meranti, which features an entirely clear outer surface to emphasize its natural beauty.
What is the BlueSky Paint Application Scheme?
Coluxor holds a unique position in the UK market as the sole timber window and door provider to achieve accredited membership with the BlueSky Paint Application Scheme. This voluntary certification highlights our ongoing dedication to quality, proving that every single item leaves our factory finished to the absolute highest industry standards.
