The larch heartwood used is around 250 years old and comes from Siberia where the summer growing season is very short, which means that the wood is dense.
All wood is cut in such a manner as to ensure that the tree rings are always perpendicular to the surface, ensuring a very high lifetime for the product.
The company, which employs 30 full time craftsmen, also produces specialist products in any other wooden material, including Sipo-Mahogany and has established sales to Germany, Iceland and Norway, where there are very high environmental and energy saving demands as well as more recently in the UK.
Most UK products are sold in the South East via the Original Double Glazed Sash Window Replacement Co .
All products are DVC certified, which is the Danish Window Certification standard equivalent to ISO 9002.
PC Vinduer is looking for distributors outside of the London area and would ideally like to find specialists needing high quality, reliable suppliers of windows built to the highest environmental and energy standards.
