01Quality

Crafted for Homes with History

Schnauber designs and manufactures bespoke timber windows and doors, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern performance. Based in Cambridge, we work with homeowners, architects and developers across some of England’s most distinguished historic locations — from Cambridge, Ely, Bury St Edmunds and Saffron Walden to Stamford, Oxford, the Cotswolds, London and Bath.

From listed buildings and conservation areas to Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas, country homes and contemporary architecture, every Schnauber window and door is individually crafted to complement the character of the property while delivering exceptional modern performance.

Our range includes casement, sash and tilt & turn windows, along with entrance, French, patio and bifold doors — all crafted from sustainably sourced hardwoods and treated softwoods, chosen for durability, beauty and long-term performance. Every window and door is precision engineered, hand finished, and built to last. Rooted in Cambridge craftsmanship, our work can be found in homes with history and character across England.

04Comfort

Comfort is built into every product

Our timber windows and doors are designed to keep homes warm, quiet and secure throughout the year.

With vacuum, double or triple glazing options and the natural insulating properties of timber, our joinery helps maintain a stable indoor temperature and reduce energy bills. Whether your home is in Norfolk, Suffolk or across East Anglia, our windows and doors are engineered to perform in all conditions.

Every design balances visual quality with thermal performance, delivering comfort that lasts in both traditional homes and contemporary developments.

05Security

True security combines strength with confidence

Schnauber timber windows and doors are engineered to protect your home while maintaining refined, authentic design.

We use high-density, sustainably sourced timber alongside multi-point locking systems, reinforced hardware and precision-built frames. This ensures excellent resistance to intrusion without compromising appearance.

All timber is treated with non-toxic preservatives to prevent warping, decay and weathering. From coastal properties in Norfolk to townhouses across East Anglia, Schnauber joinery is built for long-term reliability — enhancing both safety and architectural value for heritage restorations, modern homes and commercial developments.
