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 superior to other types of windows.
2. Due to their traditional appearance and the materials used, local planning committees much prefer timber windows to be implemented in areas of architectural interest. The traditional sash sliding timber window is still manufactured today along with many other heritage style options.
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. 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 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. Without compromising the practicalities of modern design and technology, timber is able to maintain the appearance of traditional windows.
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:
- 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.
- are fitted with key operated locks as standard and toughened or laminated safety glass is also an option.
