Now that we’ve entered the new year, we’re looking back on 2024, an eventful year for ERW! The past year has been a big one for our business, as we plan to take on the new year, it’s important to look back on the major milestones and achievements that we’re proud of, inspiring a successful 2025.
Over the course of last year, we took on several major projects, allowing our business to showcase the quality of our services on a large scale. From restoration projects, to the implementation of a new revolutionary window technology, this past year has seen it all.
Join us as we look through some of our key moments of the past year, revisiting the hard work that our team put in to make 2024 a year to celebrate.
We kicked off 2024 in style, being selected by Story Contracting for a major restoration project at Middlesbrough Station, crafting bespoke timber windows to help boost the revival of the station.
These windows were crafted to replicate the original appearance of the station, blending heritage aesthetics with modern performance features, bringing energy efficiency to a key asset to the North East.
We were visited by Tees Valley Mayor, Ben Houchen, as he looked to observe the development, and our involvement in such a key project. As a company with deep roots in the community, working on this major facility, and boosting the local economy is a massive achievement for us
This past year also oversaw the introduction of vacuum glazing, a revolutionary window technology transforming listed properties. This top of the range window glazing can be installed into new timber windows, or integrated into existing window sashes through our restoration process.
When it comes to window technology, there’s nothing quite like vacuum glazing. Not only does it possess greater energy efficiency than triple glazing, outstanding acoustic efficiency, and reduced double reflection, but vacuum glazing is as thin as a single pane of glass, making it the perfect solution to bring modern performance to heritage buildings.
Introducing vacuum glazing is a major milestone for our business, as we hope to be involved in plenty more restoration projects for 2025!

At ERW, we understand that homeowners have their own unique style, tastes, and preferences when it comes to creating their dream home. That’s why we focus on customisation, and our partnership with Anker Stuy aimed to improve this!
Anker Stuy produce a vast and varied range of exceptional quality paints and coatings, and so an opportunity sparked for collaboration to help improve the colour customisation choices for our customers.
This year marked a huge milestone for ERW, as we celebrated our Sapphire Anniversary, marking 45 years in business in June!
To celebrate, we held our Sapphire Open Days from the 21st-23rd June, which allowed customers the opportunity to visit our Middlesbrough premises for a guided tour of our showroom and workshop to get a taste of our premium timber windows and doors, and our outdoor living structures.
Last year also saw improvements to the appearance of our showroom, featuring new products and models to give customers a taste of what their new timber windows and doors would look like.
We understand that customers like to get an understanding of what they’re purchasing, particularly with large scale purchases. That’s why we make sure that our showroom is front and centre of our premises, so that you can get a feel for our quality of products, and standard of service.

As our most recent achievement, we took home the ‘SME of the Year’ award at the Northern Skills Apprenticeship Awards 2024. We were delighted to be accredited this award as a testimony to the hard work we put into developing the next generation of talented joiners.
We believe in fostering young talent, and we’re proud of our efforts in providing opportunities for young generations, securing a bright future for the industry.
And that’s a wrap for 2024! We’re very proud of how far we’ve come since the start of last year, and we’re now looking forward to all the challenges, and projects that the year ahead will bring.

When it comes to […]
Making eco-friendly efforts is becoming increasingly more important in the modern day, even when choosing your windows and doors, that’s why we’re exploring the environmental benefits of choosing timber over uPVC!

ERW have recently replaced my windows. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend them.
Mrs F, Guisborough
Workmen cleaned up any mess as they went along and left no mess what so ever at the end. They were diligent and I would certainly recommend this company and I intend on using ERW again.
Mr & Mrs H, Newcastle Upon Tyne
From our initial inquiry we felt immediately reassured that we were dealing with a company which understood our requirements and which would be able to deliver excellent quality and service. We were not disappointed, we have been delighted throughout with the friendly and help guidance, excellent quality and clean and efficient installation. Very professional customer focused service.
Mr & Mrs S, Gateshead
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
