Types of Wood Used by Hinson Custom Made
At Hinson Custom Made, we take great pride in the quality of the materials we use to craft our bespoke windows and doors. Each type of wood has its own unique properties, ensuring that we can provide the perfect solution for every project. Here’s an in-depth look at the types of wood we use:
Softwoods
Redwood Pine
Redwood pine, also known as Scots pine, is a popular softwood choice for its durability, workability, and aesthetic appeal. It features a fine, even grain that takes finishes well, making it ideal for both painted and stained applications. Redwood pine is known for its resistance to shrinking and swelling, which ensures stability and longevity in windows and doors. This wood is sustainably sourced and provides a cost-effective option without compromising on quality.
Hardwoods
European Oak
European oak is renowned for its strength, durability, and timeless beauty. It has a distinctive grain pattern and a warm, rich colour that deepens with age. European oak is an excellent choice for both traditional and contemporary designs due to its versatility and natural resistance to decay. This hardwood is perfect for crafting high-end windows and doors that require both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
Meranti
Meranti, also known as Philippine mahogany, is a group of tropical hardwoods that are valued for their strength and attractive appearance. It has a reddish-brown hue with an interlocked grain, giving it a distinctive look. Meranti is relatively lightweight yet durable, making it a great choice for large, intricate window and door designs. Its resistance to warping and decay ensures that it remains a reliable material for years to come.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is a versatile hardwood known for its toughness and resistance to weathering. It has a uniform texture and a straight grain, with colours ranging from pale cream to light brown. Eucalyptus is particularly valued for its sustainability, as it grows quickly and is readily available. This hardwood is ideal for creating durable, environmentally friendly windows and doors that offer excellent performance in various conditions.
Engineered Laminated Timbers
European Oak
Engineered European oak combines the traditional beauty of oak with modern engineering techniques. This material is made by bonding layers of oak together, resulting in a highly stable and strong timber. Engineered oak is less prone to warping and splitting, making it an excellent choice for large windows and doors that require exceptional stability and precision. It retains the natural elegance of solid oak while offering enhanced performance.
Grandis Eucalyptus
Engineered Grandis eucalyptus is a sustainable and robust option for custom windows and doors. This material is created by laminating layers of eucalyptus, providing superior strength and dimensional stability. Engineered Grandis eucalyptus is known for its uniform appearance and resistance to environmental factors, making it suitable for a wide range of architectural applications. Its sustainability and reliability make it a preferred choice for eco-conscious projects.
Redwood
Engineered redwood offers the benefits of traditional redwood pine with added strength and stability. By laminating layers of redwood, this material reduces the likelihood of warping and enhances its structural integrity. Engineered redwood is an excellent choice for custom windows and doors that require both aesthetic appeal and durability. Its consistent quality and performance make it a reliable option for various design styles.

Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our satisfied customers have to say about their experience with Hinson Custom Made:
We have been nothing but happy with our beautiful front and garage doors, Chris and his team are very professional and have been nothing but a pleasure, there 2 fitters Shaun and Steve were so polite as well I would def recommend them to everyone. Unfortunately the photos were taken very quickly so I could write this review they don’t do them justice much better in the flesh.
Claudia Conway
We had a new wooden front door and some patio doors made and fitted recently and we could not be happier with the end result. It took some time for the doors to be constructed and fitted but it was well worth the wait. Both sets of doors are of an extremely high standard and look immaculate. We are very happy with the beautiful quality of the joinery. Thank you so much to Chris and his workshop team.
Sean and Scott installed the doors and were extremely pleasant and professional to deal with. They took a great deal of care fitting them to an old and asymmetrical building and we now have a set of doors to be truly proud of. Two neighbours have already remarked on how good they look. Our thanks also go to Layla who dealt so efficiently with all the logistics and communications, keeping us fully informed at all stages of the process. We can whole-heartedly recommend this excellent firm on the basis of our experience. Our house has been transformed by their care, expertise and attention to every detail.
Joanne O’Brien
Hinson Custom made Timber Products made our replica Chapel door for the Chapel conversion we are completing. We’re delighted with our new bespoke door, painted in the colours we asked for. We can’t recommend them enough and you know someone is going to be good when they are busy and you have to join the back of a decent sized queue (which was absolutely worth the wait!). Our project is on instagram, so if you want to see before and afters of the door, go to the_old_chapel_grendon
