10 Great Reasons To Choose Timber Windows!
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. 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. Timber windows are an excellent investment choice because they can be far more easily repaired than pvc, and as a result will have a much longer life – assuming they are looked after accordingly.
5. For the environmentally conscious buyer, timber windows are a wise choice due to the sustainability of timber. Many of the timbers used in the manufacturing industry carry accreditations to certify they come from a reputable and sustainable 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 a classic example of sustainable and recyclable materiel requiring very low energy consumption to process, and is thermally efficient in use.
8. Timber maintains the appearance of traditional windows without compromising the practicalities of modern technology and design.
9. Utilising vertical brush draught excluders on timber windows results in highly effective and efficient draught exclusion.
10. And last but not least, all professionally constructed timber windows:
- come double glazed as standard and incorporate Pilkington K Low ‘E’ glass and Argon gas-filled cavities.
- have the option of ‘Phon’ Accoustic glass for superior sound insulation.
- comply with the latest Building Regulations including document L.
- are fitted with key operated locks as standard and toughened or laminated safety glass is also an option.
Hopefully the above information will help you make your decision, after all, you want this decision to be the right one!
