MTC: Timber doors and window frames for everlasting first impression

TIMBER DOORS & WINDOW FRAMES

A traditional choice for everlasting first impression

The Malaysian timber industry is one of the most important socio-economic sectors; it has been contributing significantly to the country’s export earnings since the early 90s.

Today, Malaysia is one of the leading producers and exporters of sustainable timber products in the world. It is among the world’s Top 10 exporters of plywood, wooden furniture, wooden frame and mouldings in 2020 and one of ASEAN’s major exporters of sawntimber, veneer, mouldings, and builders’ joinery & carpentry (BJC) such as timber flooring, doors and window frames.

TIMBER DOORS

Timber doors are an ideal choice to make a lasting welcome statement. Available in a wide selection of hardwoods in either natural or muted tones, timber doors are a perfect balance between durability, sustainability, and appearance.

Timber doors can be opulent while being functional. Should there be a need for a timeless appeal that blends traditional styles with a modern feel, timber cottage doors may just be the thing for you. And once you have found the perfect door, do not forget the door accessories to complete the look, from hooks to hinges and doorbells.

Malaysian door manufacturers have been producing hardwood doors for decades from a wide range of timber species that are awe-inspiring in both design and versatility.

Timbers such as Balau, Melunak, Dark Red Meranti, Kembang Semangkok, Merbau, Merpauh and Nyatoh make up the range while some doors are overlaid with temperate species such as Oak, Walnut, Cherry and Makore.

Fire-resistant doors with a plush look are also available where these doors are given a variety of styling without compromising the international fireresistant ratings. Species like Balau and Melunak, a heavy and light hardwood, respectively, are fine pickings as timber doors.

➢ Balau

A heavy hardwood with a density of 850-1,155kg/m3 that is yellow to brown in colour. The sapwood is lighter in colour and is sharply defined from the heartwood which is yellow or grey-brown and darkens to deep brown on exposure. The texture is fine and even with deeply interlocked grains. ➢ Melunak

A light hardwood with a density of 530-755kg/m3 air dried. The sapwood is yellow or light straw-coloured and is moderately sharply defined from the heartwood which is brown with a red or pink tinge or red-brown. Texture is moderately fine and even with shallowly to deeply interlocked grains.

Available in both solid and engineered forms, Malaysian timber doors come in many designs, sizes, and specifications to suit the needs of discerning customers. They are also highly sought-after for their quality workmanship that meets stringent European standards. Using state-of-theart technology, Malaysian manufacturers are well-placed to serve customers globally, whether for small, custom-made orders or large ones of standard products.

WINDOW FRAMES

One of the most traditional choices for window frames is timber. Wooden window frames are known for their durability and can last a lifetime if properly maintained. They also offer great aesthetics, thanks to timbers detailed grains.

Malaysian manufacturers have been producing stylish selections of timber window frames in a variety of finishes with quality timbers and precision craftmanship as well as laminated scantlings. Species such as Dark Red Meranti, Yellow Meranti, Kasai, Merpauh, Bintagor, Gerutu, Mengkulang and Kembang Semangkok have been used for this purpose. The thermal efficiency of any home can be improved significantly as timber is a natural insulator and the combination of timber window frames and double glazing provide considerable savings in energy cost.

You can easily find the perfect timber window frame be it casement or sash windows. These window frames also come with a range of hardware comprising timber window screens, secure locks, and fashionable handles. The window frames and hardware can be configured to suit your requirement. All weak points between the frames and glass are also protected well to withstand changeable and harsh weather conditions. Exceptionally secure, classy, and hardwearing, timber window frames offer the best of both worlds without compromise.
