Timber windows are proving to be an increasingly popular choice for both their use in new homes and as replacement windows in existing buildings. Listed below are just some of the reasons why they should be considered as an excellent choice for your building or renovation project:
1. The aesthetic properties of timber windows are superior to other types of windows.
2. Because of their traditional appearance and the materials used, planning committees prefer timber windows to be implemented in areas of architectural interest. Along with many other heritage styles, the traditional sash sliding timber window is still manufactured today.
3. A huge benefit of timber windows is that they can be customised, enabling them to blend in with existing products, making them a perfect choice for both replacement windows and extensions. Handles, fasteners, 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 caring buyers who are conscious of the environment, timber windows are a wise choice due to the material’s sustainability. Accreditations are carried by many of the timbers used in the manufacturing industry to certify they come from a reputable and sustainable source.
6. Low maintenance is another benefit thanks to the high quality, factory-applied, microporous paint finish. Also of the highest quality is the window furniture which plays its part in reducing 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. The use of vertical brush draught excluders on timber windows affords a highly effective draught exclusion.
