Production

 
 
     

     Luxbaum Windows + Doors started with the discovery of merbau, the lumber used to fabricate the entire production line of  impact resistant windows, doors, and architectural components.  The physical characteristics of Merbau convinced us that it would present an excellent opportunity to improve on the performance of wood windows and doors in all environments, from tropical to severe winter climates, traditionally produced in mahogany or various softwoods.

     Sourced by our factory, merbau is grown on two of the thousands of islands in the Indonesian Archipelago.  Our commitment to environmental and cultural preservation prompted the decision to fabricate this natural resource of Indonesia by building a factory in Bali, at a location which is surrounded by villages where the expertise of wood carvers and carpenters is centuries old.

     We carefully select each piece of lumber, and follow the traditional method of air drying in sheds. All merbau is then kiln dried to a moisture content of 14%, the beginning of a production based on care and attention to detail.

    We have combined the most sophisticated production machinery from Germany and custom designed tooling from Switzerland, specifically designed for the fabrication of Merbau with its high silica and mineral content. The multi-point locking systems and gaskets are imported from Germany. The finishing material is acquired from one of the oldest companies in Europe.  Profiling, assembling, installation of the components, sanding, and finishing is executed by the skillful Balinese carpenters. Our production is committed to this tradition of extensive hand-crafting and continuous hand-sanding, preserving the finest and proudest heritage of wood manufacturing.

     Seventy-two carpenters are currently employed by the company owned factory to build each unit to the exacting details we have engineered and developed to ascertain the highest craftsmanship. 

     Thirty assistants are hand sanding each component three times. 

     Eight managers, heading each of the eight operational departments are ensuring consistency, accuracy, compliance and the production to the highest quality standards.

     Sixteen signatures of the quality control staff accompany each unit on its journey to your project. 

     Our motto is “Zero Tolerance” and we proudly deliver.

     We are committed to fabricating each window as a piece of furniture. We individually ship each impact resistant high-end residential window and door, crated as it would befit a custom made piece of furniture.  All window and door components are pre-drilled and custom finished.  Each accessory component is pre-fitted to the exact size of the window or door unit, pre-drilled, fitted with biscuit joints, and finished on all surfaces before its packing into the crate.  Brick-mold, jamb extensions and casing are shipped in the same crate.

     Our commitment to excellence in service extends to a post-delivery annual maintenance program.
