Beautiful windows with bonuses
The aesthetic appeal of timber windows is undeniable. For some older properties, planning regulations dictate that nothing but timber can be used to replace existing windows; but builders and home owners recognise the many advantages of timber windows and are increasingly opting for them for any type of property.
Sustainability is a big issue these days and wood ticks many environmental boxes. It is natural and renewable and has excellent thermal performance. Manufacturers with responsible timber sourcing policies are recognised by organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council.
Skilled joiners can craft timber into all sizes and styles of windows, giving architects and developers broad design choices. With a choice of softwood, hardwood and engineered wood and several finishes, there is a timber window to bring beauty to any project.
Experienced manufacturers are able to use their technical expertise to help builders and contractors meet the latest Building Regulations.
Timber windows can offer low U-values and be crafted to bespoke sizes when required. They are available in modern or traditional styles, including casement, sliding sash, tilt and turn, fully reversible and bay windows.
