"We provide custom made traditional windows & doors made by highly trained craftsmen in softwood and hardwood timber. We can offer fully factory paint or stain finishes by Sikkens."

Opaque Paints

Opaque Paints are particularly robust and mainly intended for outdoor use. The paint is micro porous and ideal use for our UK weather. The lifespan of wooden windows and doors is considerably extended and will look as good as first installed with opaque paints and we can match to any RAL colour.

Translucent Stains

The natural look of the wood grain is particularly accentuated by translucent stain finishes and the coating ensures the optimum protection of the wood. This allows the beauty of the window to shine through.

Dual Finish

Due to product expansion & customer demand together with Sikkens, Blairs have introduced a Dual Finish specification which is proving extremely popular. This specification has the Paint coating externally and a Stain coating internally.
