Timber Window Pelmets

Classic Woodturning crafts decorative timber window pelmets that finish period facades with the authority of the original era. From our Bayswater workshop in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, we manufacture pelmets and window hoods for Victorian, Federation and Edwardian homes right across Victoria, drawing on manufacturing experience that reaches back to 1984. Each pelmet is shaped to suit your window openings and the character of your home, whether you are restoring an inner-city terrace or building a new period-style residence.

A well-proportioned timber window pelmet does more than conceal a curtain track. It reinstates the horizontal detail that gives a heritage frontage its balance, framing the top of each window with mouldings, scrollwork or a shaped valance chosen to echo the age of the building. We work in seasoned timbers suited to indoor and sheltered positions, and can advise on primed, painted or clear finishes so the piece arrives ready to hang and paint in with your existing joinery.

Because no two heritage homes are identical, our window pelmets are made to order rather than pulled from a limited stock range. Measuring is straightforward: record the width of each opening and the projection you need to clear the track, and our team will confirm the rest. Our full matching service can replicate an existing or broken profile from a photo or a physical sample, so a single damaged pelmet or a whole facade can be brought back to life without compromise.

From heritage suburbs like Fitzroy and Carlton to weatherboard cottages in country Victoria, our pelmets suit terraces, villas and Federation bungalows alike. Installation is a straightforward fix above the architrave, and we are happy to talk trade carpenters and homeowners through it. We deliver Australia-wide from Bayswater, so distance is no barrier.
