Renaissance started life back in 1975, initially known as Bruva, a name by which many customers still remember us. The company was the first in the UK to import shrunk-wrapped packs of timber and tongued & grooved cladding sold through Timber Merchants and DIY stores. As our product range expanded we added Swedish pine garden furniture and a variety of other timber products.

In the 1980s the business took a turn in focus, partly due to the unpredictable British summer weather and also due to the introduction of a new product, Swedish Pine Curtain Poles. This was our first venture into curtain accessories and over the next decades, our range developed – growing to over 10,000 product SKUs – all bearing the Renaissance Brand of quality.
