Cerri Serramenti · since 1926

Projects and work

A hundred years of work told through our projects: homes, villas, hotels and wineries in Tuscany, across Italy and abroad.

Tradition and innovation

We started as a workshop in 1926 and today we are a company, but the way we work has stayed the same: combining the art of craftsmanship with the latest technology to make high-quality doors and windows built to last.

Every project starts with an idea and goes through every stage of the work: choosing the materials, precise execution, care for detail. The result is doors and windows you don’t pick from a catalogue, but build together with the client and their architect.

  • Always made to measure. Every piece is made for a specific building: size, wood, profile and finish are decided together.
  • The right wood. Oak, chestnut, mahogany, walnut, antique and reclaimed woods, chosen for the place they will live in.
  • Followed in person. From the site survey to installation, Simone and Tommaso Cerri are your direct contacts.
  • In Italy and abroad. Tuscany, Florence, Forte dei Marmi, the French Riviera, the Dolomites, Moscow, Kazakhstan.

Materials and finishes

The character of a door or window comes from the wood and the way it is worked. Here are some of the woods and finishes we use most often.

Porta in rovere antico Contrin delle Dolomiti

Antique Contrin oak

It comes from the Dolomites, from Val di Fassa in particular: a hard, dense and durable oak with strong grain, from light brown to golden brown.

Mahogany

Stable and durable, it is the wood we choose for portals, shutters and windows exposed to sun and sea.

French chestnut

Natural or oil-finished, its rustic character is perfect for farmhouses, wineries and rural buildings.

Finitura in legno con metallo fuso effetto bronzo antico

Cast metal

Wood finishes with cast metal, such as the antique bronze effect, for doors with a tactile character.

“This one, though, we’ll save”

Before replacing an old door or window, we ask ourselves whether it can be recovered. Often the answer is yes: portals, windows and doors of villas and palazzi work again with their original proportions, mouldings and wood, like the teak portal we restored in Forte dei Marmi.
