At Schuberts, we’re thrilled to showcase our latest installation at a premier UK manufacturer of bespoke wooden windows and doors.
Based in the UK, they over 30 years of expertise in crafting high-quality, sustainable products for trade and homeowners alike. Their commitment to quick deliveries—often in just 7-10 working days—and a robust 5-year guarantee has made them a go-to for energy-efficient, secure joinery solutions. But as their business scaled, so did the need for a more efficient finishing process tailored to their large, custom products.
The Production Challenge:-
Handling oversized casement windows, sliding sashes, and external doors meant traditional finishing methods were hitting limits. Slow drying times for waterbased external coatings, dust contamination risks, and manual workflows were bottlenecking throughput. This client needed a system that could maintain top-tier quality while accelerating production—all without sacrificing their eco-friendly focus on low-VOC waterbased finishes.
