Lothlorien Woodworking is primarily a woodworking shop, with a specialized knowledge of window and door design & construction. We work mainly with Eastern White Pine, the material used for hundreds of years in North America to build the architectural heritage we see around us now.

Even a small company like ours has access to the full range of glazing materials in the market. Glass technology is changing quickly, and there's a huge range of options available to meet specific design requirements. We have much experience discussing with customers the often conflicting needs of heritage replication, energy performance, and aesthetics.

It has always been our goal to build a custom product to the most energy-efficient level possible, and to this end we have developed a series of 'modern' window designs in the different opening styles. Over the years we have found that our design flexibility has attracted heritage replication work, where thermal performance is not always the first consideration. This leads to compromises in design, where every project is a special case.

It is this "total custom design" approach which is really our specialty. Many manufacturers will build custom sizes of their standard designs, but we can modify jamb cross-section, sash profiles, muntin bar size, weatherstrip detail, hardware. As well, we can pre-finish the interior or exterior surfaces.
