A Finesse Conservatory can be a playroom, a workroom or a new space for entertaining, use it as an extension of your home, or your garden and add value and light to your property in the easiest way possible. Most people think of Conservatories in the standard greenhouse style but at Finesse we think of them as anything but standard. Our bespoke designs range from classical to modern and are available in a choice of materials, tailored perfectly to your home. A Finesse Conservatory is thermally efficient, environmentally friendly, fitted with safety glass as standard and installed with all the care and attention we are renowned for.
French doors are an elegant doorway solution providing a wider, unobstructed opening than a traditional door, and at Finesse, we construct and install them in a wide variety of materials and finishes. Be it hardwood, aluminium, solid oak, or pvc, outward or inward opening - we can help you select the perfect french door for your property. Our doors are designed to have a large open area which both doors open, with one master door which is the door that opens first. Typical openings for a french door are from 1100mm wide to 1800mm wide.
Restore your period home to its former glory with our beautiful timber sash & case windows. Suitable for conservation areas, listed buildings and traditional properties both domestic and commercial, we pride ourselves on being able to match your existing glazing style or replicate a period design. Featuring the latest in energy efficient single or double glazing, depending on your specification, our sash and case windows are an all-time classic. If you are looking for replacement sash and case windows with an excellent insulation value, but still have the traditional looks of your original windows, then the windows can be made to match your existing windows in every way.
All our wooden windows are made by hand in our workshop in Kirkcaldy, Fife, which you are welcome to visit anytime. Whether you're looking for wooden casement, fully reversible, sash and case, inward opening windows or fixed panes - we're Scotland's experts and can produce windows to any specification. Once the windows are made and sanded down they are put into the spray booth and sprayed with 4 coats of either paint or wood stain. This gives the windows a very good look and the coating is maintenance free for 5 years, when it does come time to coat them, all they need is a slight rub down and one coat of our hand applied water based micro porous paint or stain.
Orangeries can be used as kitchen extensions, offices and much more. Alternatively you can opt to have them built free-standing and create your own peaceful retreat from the world. Orangeries are the most traditional of the glass buildings we offer and are typically designed in a classical style. Similar to a conservatory, an Orangery can be attached to your property or be a free-standing structure, like the one in our photos above. They combine all the benefits of an extra room with the experience of increased light and space created by the raised glass roof.
Design, build quality, security and attention to detail all combine in spectacular fashion to produce the stunning Rockdoor composite door. Featuring a unique 'inner frame' design these doors are incredibly strong and virtually impossible to break down. Truly for the style conscious, their wood-grain finish and striking good looks provide the ultimate kerb appeal. With innovative UK manufacturing, great looks and serious security it's no wonder this is our top selling door. Door-Stop doors use the most up to date materials to give you the best combination of strength, security, durability and low maintenance.
If you find yourself needing more space in your home, a house extension is a cost effective way of creating more living space in the home you love. Obviously, you'll need space for us to extend on to, and in addition, you'll need planning permission for the extension itself - but if that sounds daunting, don't worry, as we offer a complete, start to finish house extension service including a full consultation with you and one of our architects, all the legal permission paperwork, and the complete building process.
A Finesse sunroom represents an excellent long-term investment for your home adding significant value and appeal. Designed to maximise natural heat and light, their solid tiled roof and robust timber construction makes them perfectly suited to the UK climate. Optional underfloor heating or radiators means you can fully enjoy the extra space all year round. Due to their construction, sunrooms require planning permission and careful design, and that is where Finesse comes in. Our comprehensive service takes the stress out of home improvements and we take care of the whole project while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Because we hand-build timber doors, if you're looking for a traditional wooden front door (either painted, or stained), we can design it exactly to your specification, making it completely unique and individual to you. You may also wish to consider a composite door, as they are completely maintenance free, and many of our designs resemble traditional timber front doors very closely. We're able to incorporate all sorts of window and design configurations into our lead lined doors, which are manufactured using only the finest materials and workmanship.
We provide a complete building service from planning & design to completion. We have all the trades under one roof so we are the perfect choice for a smooth, reliable service, project managed every step of the way. We aim to provide a comprehensive building service for any of your home improvement plans. From the first consultation to the very last detail you can trust Finesse to take the hassle out of building work. Our architects will create your detailed drawings and seek all the necessary planning permission on your behalf.
If you're feeling a draught, or your current windows are simply past their best, new UPVC windows are an excellent value for money solution. With a life expectancy of 40 years, and the Finesse 10 year workmanship guarantee, you can rest assured that when you buy from Finesse, you're getting the job done right, and a product that's built to last. There are many glazing options available for all varieties of situations. When we visit a customer we advise on what glazing is required or optional: it may be anti glare, sound proofing or upgraded insulation levels.
Most have served their time well, but given their age and the technologies available when they were constructed - they may have become draughty, insecure or rotten. Typically, they'll have very thin glass, which doesn't do your central heating bills any favours at all. We specialise in providing and fitting traditional sash and case windows that look the same as the draughty old ones that are currently letting the cold in, but have all the benefits of modern technology. We use a special low profile double sealed unit so that when glazed, it's very hard to see if its double glazed or not.
Our casement, tilt & turn and sash & case windows can be supplied in maintenance-free PVC-U or a luxury hardwood made right here in our Fife workshop. Featuring the latest in energy efficient double glazing our new windows provide the most effective way to add value to your property, while cutting your domestic energy bills. PVC-U (also know as U-PVC) windows are a popular choice for replacement double glazing in Fife and throughout Scotland. This hi-tech material offers extreme weather resistance with low maintenance, thanks to its great all-round durability.
Building regulations are a set of rules which exist in order to ensure building work meets certain standards and safety guidelines. In Scotland, they are set out in the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 and the Scottish Government is responsible for the relevant legislation and administration. At Finesse, we take care of all the planning and paperwork that comes along with building a house extension or loft conversion. Typically building regulations approval is attained by submitting plans to the local authority, where they will check for compliance, and either give the go-ahead, or point out any potential issues.
Lean To Conservatories are well-liked for many reasons. They provide you with extra space, soak in sunlight, and are a cost-effective way of expanding your living area. This type of conservatory is normally designed to fit under the fascia of a bungalow so that it does not need to be built into the roof of the customers house, meaning less time spent on construction, and a simpler process than a traditional house extension. The roof glazing can either be 35mm, or 24mm thick poly carbonate, or double sealed glass units, depending on your situation and how much light is going to be let in and the direction your house sits then both materials have there job to do and this would be advised when visiting the property.
Delighted with doors fitted by Finesse - excellent service throughout - first class fitting and after-service. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.
