What Albion manufactures
Timber products made properly.

Products are made to suit their location and intended use. Suitable timber, sound joinery, exterior-grade fixings and sensible construction details all matter, particularly when the product must remain outdoors for many years.

Species, origin, fixings and finish are stated in the quotation. Drainage, exposure and future repair are considered as part of the construction from the start.

About Albion
Founded with a straightforward aim: to make things properly.
Nathan Russell has more than nine years of experience in joinery and the manufacture of outdoor timber products.
Albion rejects the idea that outdoor products should be made cheaply, allowed to deteriorate and then replaced. A well-made timber product should be maintained, repaired and kept in service for as long as practical.
