Timber windows are becoming an ever popular choice for replacement windows when undertaking renovation projects and also the favoured option for windows in new build homes. Below are some compelling reasons why they should be seriously considered for your renovation or building project:

1. The aesthetic properties of timber windows are unrivaled by pvc windows.

2. Planning committees prefer timber windows to be implemented in areas of architectural interest due to their traditional appearance and the materials used. Traditional sash sliding timber windows are still manufactured today along with many other heritage styles.

3. One of the benefits of timber windows is the fact that they can be customised so that they blend in with existing products, making them the perfect choice for both replacement windows and extensions. Fasteners, handles, locking mechanisms and restrictors can all be supplied to match most window styles.

4. As they can be so much more easily repaired than pvc, they will have a much longer life and as a result are the perfect investment choice – if looked after accordingly.

5. For those buyers conscious of the environment, timber windows are a sensible choice due to the sustainability of timber. Many of the timbers used in the manufacturing process carry accreditations to certify they come from a sustainable and reputable source.

6. Using factory-applied, microporous paint finishes means that timber windows are extremely low maintenance and the use of high quality window furniture also reduces future maintenance.

7. Timber is the ultimate recyclable and sustainable materiel requiring extremely low energy consumption to process, and in use is thermally efficient.

8. Timber maintains the appearance of traditional windows without compromising the practicalities of modern technology and design.

9. Highly effective draught exclusion is possible on timber windows with the use of vertical brush draught excluders.

10. And last but not least, all professionally constructed timber windows:

- comply with the latest Building Regulations including document L.

- comply with the latest Building Regulations including document L.

- come double glazed as standard and incorporate Pilkington K Low ‘E’ glass and Argon gas-filled cavities.
