Why should I use timber over uPVC?
Timber windows offer natural beauty, durability, and sustainability that uPVC can’t match. Well‑made timber can last 60+ years—often twice as long as uPVC—and can be repaired, repainted and upgraded rather than replaced. Timber suits period and character homes, meets many conservation requirements, and has a far lower environmental impact. With modern finishes and glazing, performance equals (or betters) uPVC while keeping your home’s character intact.
What are the benefits of wooden windows compared to uPVC or aluminium?
Wooden windows are naturally insulating, helping keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They outperform aluminium and can match or exceed uPVC for energy efficiency when paired with modern double glazing and draught‑proofing. Timber doesn’t conduct heat like metal, so rooms feel less cold in winter and less hot in summer. They’re also sustainable, repairable and upgradeable, add character and kerb appeal, and can increase property value.
