When making wood windows, materials matter. Fenstur is dedicated to sourcing quality materials while maintaining our dedication to environmental citizenship.
We use carefully selected old-growth timber grown in cold and wet climates, and all of our wood is graded for a high proportion of heartwood. Our team is always on the lookout for beautiful, durable materials. We aim to create products that our customers can enjoy for a lifetime.
We firmly believe that responsibly sourced wood is the best wood for making windows. We work with the province of British Columbia to ensure that all of our materials meet their exacting harvesting standards. By sourcing locally, we protect valuable environmental resources while supporting local economies.
Wood for making windows must be carefully dried and cured to enhance durability. Our storage methods carefully control temperature and humidity, providing our materials with the perfect environment to protect against splits, cracking, and warping.
Our wood is hand-graded and examined for defects, ensuring that every piece selected for use is strong and beautiful. Our expert craftsmen engineer all components to increase stability, remove knots, and decrease pitch bleed.
Careful, intentional material preparation allows us to preserve the natural beauty of the wood and respect the unique qualities of the grain. Every piece of lumber we work with will be part of someone's home, and every part of its journey matters. Meticulous processing is crucial for creating a product that is both beautiful and durable.
Established in 2013, Fenstur is the culmination of more than 150 years of combined forestry and engineering experience. Our British Columbia facility employs more than 40 skilled artisans, each crucial in bringing your aesthetic vision to life.
Our skilled craftsmen are experts in wood window construction, bringing an award-winning combination of traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology to each project. We handle all assembly in-house, including cutting our own veneers, ensuring that all components meet our strict quality standards.
Fenstur’s high-quality, technologically advanced machining processes, including careful planning, dimensioning, and CNC technology, create a smoother wood surface that increases joint strength and durability. All of our windows are designed to prevent water pooling and penetration that could lead to long-term problems.
Finishing is a critical part of building wood windows. All Fenstur windows feature rounded corners rather than sharp edges to improve paint and stain adhesion, reducing the need for future maintenance.
We use industrial-quality end-grain sealants on all window bottoms and joints to prevent water absorption in vulnerable areas. By applying all paints and sealants during construction, we provide top-notch protection for every piece, including areas no longer accessible after assembly.
Fenstur windows are fully customizable. Our full suite of industrial-quality paint, glazing, and hardware options allows clients to bring their design vision to life while reducing the need for maintenance and ensuring weather resistance and energy efficiency.
