What are timber windows?
Timber windows are a stylish and practical choice that bring plenty of character to any house. Unlike uPVC or aluminium, they offer a natural look which suits both heritage properties and modern homes. Available in a wide range of finishes and providing excellent insulation, timber windows are a versatile and more energy efficient option for homeowners.
The benefits of timber windows
Timber windows come with a number of benefits, ranging from greater energy efficiency to durability and greater sustainability credentials compared with uPVC and aluminium frames. Below, we will lay out the benefits of timber windows and why they might be the perfect option for your home.
Wide range of beautiful design choices
One of timber windows’ biggest assets is its adaptable design. They can be made to replicate traditional sash or casement styles, or tailored to have a more contemporary look, depending on your home’s age and aesthetic. Whether you want a natural finish to highlight the grain or a painted option to match your property’s colour scheme, timber provides you with plenty of design choices. They can be made bespoke to you and your home’s design requirements, so they suit both the interior as well as the exterior.
Better for the environment
For homeowners looking for a more environmentally friendly window frame, timber is an excellent choice. The timber in our frames is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and when you come to replace your timber frames, they can be recycled or biodegrade naturally, making them far less harmful to the planet. Through their insulating qualities, they enable you to reduce your energy consumption, which in turn reduces your carbon footprint.
Option to be double-glazed
Modern timber windows are not just a stylish option, but they can also be fitted with double or even triple glazing for improved thermal performance. Double-glazed timber windows provide excellent insulation against noise and weather, helping to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient. Built with modern glazing options, they provide better security as a result, helping to give you a greater peace of mind.
Simple to change the style of frames and maintain
One of the key advantages of timber windows is their adaptability. Unlike uPVC, which cannot be altered once made, timber can be easily sanded or painted to update its appearance. This means you can provide your home with a more modern appearance or, alternatively, create a traditional look depending on your design preferences. Timber frames are easy to maintain with occasional painting or sealing, helping them to remain strong and resilient for years.
Can add value to your home
Timber windows can be a premium feature which can boost the value of your property. Potential buyers often appreciate the combination of traditional style as well as thermal performance of modern timber windows. Homes with original or uniquely made timber windows can provide them with a competitive edge when it comes to selling. Also, their durability and energy efficiency make them a desired feature of modern homes.
Long-lasting option
With the right upkeep, timber windows can last for decades.Modern treatments and finishes make timber frames even more resilient against weather, helping to prevent excessive wear or damage. This longevity means fewer replacements, making them a cost-effective and sustainable option. When properly maintained, timber windows not only last longer but also age beautifully, developing character, providing your home with a more distinctive appearance
