Basso crafts external and
internal solid timber doors and windows - made from farmed
Brazilian rainforest hardwoods dried and seasoned for at least two years
before crafting to ensure structural stability in the products - in the
most elegant contemporary and traditional designs and made to the most
exacting standards of craftsmanship, all having standardized ratings
of thermal and acoustic insulation.
All Basso products are
crafted to better than 0.1 milimetre tolerance. All timbers for each
piece are dried together to ensure consistency throughout their long
lifetime, and timbers are personally colour-matched for each piece.

Cedrorana -
not just beautiful and durable
- it's resistant
to insects, birds, fungus & fire -
never reabsorbs moisture so it never warps
| All the lumber used by Basso is officially
certified to have been obtained from replanted forests (a kind of Green
Certificate). Another official certificate assures that no disease,
fungus etc will be transmitted with the product ( a fito-sanitario
Certificate) |

Although
we can supply our products in a large variety of tropical
hardwoods, we recommend CEDRORANA (Cedrelinga Catanaeformis
Ducke) for its beauty of grain and colour, glorious finish,
ease of working, dimensional stability and resistance to
biological enemies. A native of the Amazon, it has been
cultivated artificially for over fifteen years now with
considerable success both for Greenhouse Gas (C02)
sequestration and as a source of lumber for industry. |
Cedrorana is a very resistant hardwood,
almost completely impervious to insects (and parrots), wet and dry rot,
boring beetles etc, and is certain to last in place for
thirty years and more even if never varnished. It's heavy and
strong and burns very slowly (if at all), takes a beautiful glossy
finish, and the fibers are so close and firm that screws in hinges
and locks do not loosen with use over time.

BASSO doors are made with mortice and tenon
or dowels jointing, and all styles and panels are made from
single pieces of lumber - not small pieces glued together. The
handcrafted work is of old-fashioned quality and no loose joint
or improper fitting gets by Basso's final quality inspectors.
That's a guarantee! |
