A year of investment and growth for The Joinery Network in 2026

The Joinery Network is kicking off 2026 with a programme of investment and growth to support its fast-growing network of UK joinery companies. The 50 UK-based Lignum system manufacturers collectively delivered more than £30 million of superior-quality timber windows and doors in 2025.

“Creating the fully certified Lignum timber window and door system has been key to improving quality and productivity for joinery manufacturers, making it easier for our members to take advantage of the resurgence in timber windows and doors,” said Andy Ball, managing Director of The Joinery Network.

“New product development is key to supporting growth. We launched six new Lignum window and door products in 2025, including a range of PAS 24 certified Accoya wood external doors. In 2026, we are continuing to develop and test exciting new products, as well as adding to our Accoya range.

“As our network of manufacturers grows, we’re seeing significant interest in Lignum from installation companies, architects and developers looking for a timber window and door system that offers the certainty of compliance, capacity and national supply from independent joinery companies.

“To support this, we are investing in our specification services, including NBS Source, and providing powerful marketing support to members. We will also be talking directly to homeowners through our social channels to attract customers for our network members.

“The Glass and Glazing Federation has chosen The Joinery Network as its partner to develop the newly formed timber windows and doors technical group. We are holding our first meeting in February.

“With all that in place, we are looking at adding new manufacturing members to stay ahead of demand. We are holding more discovery events in 2026 for joinery companies planning to grow their businesses.”
