We always make the box that encases the cover and roller from solid timber not aluminium or steel replicas, which are common but inferior alternatives. We only use treated hardwood timber which resists warping and deteriorating. The box is given numerous coats of paint applied by hand to customers colour specifications.There is a choice of timber options including English, Jacobean and light oak, English and aged mahogany and Pacific cedar which can all be varnished to allow the natural grain to show.
