10 Reasons Why Timber Windows Are A Great Choice | Timber casement and box sash windows are becoming an increasingly popular choice for replacement windows when undertaking renovation projects and also the favoured option for windows in new house builds. Below are some compelling reasons why they should be seriously considered for your home renovation or building project:
1. Aesthetically the 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. 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, locks and restrictors can all be supplied to match all window styles.
4. As they can be far more easily repaired than the pvc windows we see everywhere, they will have an increased lifespan and as a result are the perfect investment choice - if looked after accordingly.
5. For those more caring buyers who are conscious of the environment, timber windows are a sensible 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. The use of factory-applied, microporous paint finishes means that these windows and doors are extremely low maintenance and the use of high quality window furniture also reduces future maintenance.
7. Timber is the perfect 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. Highly effective draught exclusion is possible on timber windows with the use of vertical brush draught excluders.
10. And lastly, all professionally constructed timber windows:
