Optimal Windows

Optimal Windows Stunning timber joinery made in NZ to enhance your home's function, energy performance & air quality. Wooden windows that work. Just the way we like it.

Stunning European style timber joinery made in New Zealand to enhance your home's function, energy performance, air quality and security. Servicing the whole of New Zealand. Optimal Design

A high quality result begins with good design. From the aesthetic decisions of handle colour and surface finishes through to structural and functional decisions of timber species and glazing requirements we hav

e collaborated with clients on just about every aspect of window design. We are more than happy to work though the design process with clients, architects, designers, builders or draftsman to achieve the best solutions with minimal fuss. You can rest assured that the person you discuss design with will remain in very, very close (physical) contact with the project from start to finish. Every project is different and treated as such. We are not a mass producer of windows and doors and because of this we have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in every aspect of a project from initial design work until the last piece of glass is installed on site and one final check of the joinery is complete. Optimal Production - A passion for craftsmanship

Optimal windows are produced under one roof. Our small, dedicated team are involved in every aspect of the joinery’s production. From accurate cutting and machining of the initial profiles, to the meticulous tenoning and gluing of corner joints, the fine sanding of frame and sash components, to the careful application of paint or oil systems, to the installation of hardware and finally the glazing of the completed joinery. Every step of the production process is completed by Optimal staff. Nothing is out sourced or sub contracted. In this way we remain in total control of the project and the end result. Optimal Service

Optimal timber joinery is made in New Zealand for projects nationwide. We have experience with timber joinery in most New Zealand building types, from Tilt slab to Hemp-crete, from Hebel block to Log homes and from timber framed to masonry. We can and do adapt and modify for any type of construction. We are easy to contact and always available. If your designer has a query, chances are we have encountered it before. If your builder needs advice with installation, they are a phone call away from someone who can advise. If a window is damaged, we can repair it, because we have the parts, the equipment, the knowledge and the skills right here in New Zealand.

We love working on something, a little different!

A client has this interesting renovation project for us. They brought these doors back from France, to be used on their new build.

The time has come to give them a tidy up.

We can't wait to see the progress. Keep following to watch the transformation.

Do you remember the triple glazed Abodo windows we have been manufacturing? They are now ready for delivery.

Our windows are generally delivered without glass, and glazed on-site to make them more manageable for the installers.

This is just another great reason to have your airtight windows made here, in NZ.

Here is a trolley load of double glazed Cedar window and door sashes oiled with hardware and seals installed.

Western Red Cedar is a super stable and durable timber, with a beautiful colour and grain.

It has been used for exterior joinery in NZ since the 1960's and has definitely stood the test of time.

We only use quarter sawn Cedar for our windows as this improves the joinery's durability.
