About Us

Officina Terranova's History

Officina Terranova was founded in the 1960s as a family business, from the passion and great manual skills of our father, Giovanni Terranova, a master metalworker.

Our “home” today is a 1000sqm industrial factory in the province of Messina, which allows us to house the equipment and machinery necessary to process any request, even the most demanding. Our Team is made up of expert designers, to study the best performing solutions, and of course our valuable window and door manufacturers.

The growing demands both in Italy and abroad then led us to open an office in Milan as well, in order to be close to our Customers, in the capital of Italian design.

Over the years, we are proud to say that Officina Terranova has become synonymous with reliability and quality, guaranteed through the use of state-of-the-art solutions and products that allow us to offer carpentry works and windows and doors that are at the same time safe, functional and of great beauty. Professional expertise is complemented by adequate knowledge and experience in regulatory issues to ensure the highest quality standards required in design, construction and maintenance, implemented with Quality Systems according to current standards.

We are fascinated by the evocative beauty of iron doors and windows that have marked many projects in Europe and around the world since the early 1900s. We like to think we can bring their charm back to today’s architecture: with higher performance, more resistant and meeting the energy and comfort requirements of contemporary living, but always expressed in the material we love most: iron.

Together, we create

HOW WE WORK

  • We get in touch with the customer or design firm to fully understand the requirements
  • We analyze project drawings in terms of dimensional ranges, configurations, hardware and accessories, choice of glass, surface treatments and finishes, up to and including the production of final drawings
  • On request we provide custom solutions, thermal and acoustic simulations, specific tests, prototypes and mockups
  • We produce the windows and doors by selecting the best performing systems and using state-of-the-art machinery
  • We proceed to installation, checking the final result and offering post-installation and maintenance technical advice
