Frequently Asked Questions on Timber Windows
Can Timber Windows be Double-Glazed?
Yes, as timber windows offer a good level of thermal quality, they are advanced in keeping out the cold air.
Timber windows are an exceptional choice for double-glazing, as they help improve insulation, reduce noise and help save on energy costs, whilst choosing bespoke timber windows ensures that you can match glazing panes accordingly. The natural material of timber and its strength makes installing double-glazed glass seamless, ensuring a steady and sturdy frame.
One competitive aspect, timber doors have over composite doors is their repairability and environmental sustainability. If timber doors happen to get scratched or damaged slightly, they can often be sanded down and redefined, whereas damage to composite doors may require further repairs.
Environmentally speaking, timber is a natural resource gathered from forests around the world. Wood is also a renewable resource, making timber doors a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.

Are timber windows energy efficient?
Compared to alternative types of window material, timber windows are more effective at maintaining steady temperatures within homes and buildings. Our bespoke Timber windows and frames are designed to facilitate solar heating, which harnesses heat from the sun to naturally warm up the inside space.
This is particularly beneficial for those looking to reduce reliance on artificial heating systems, as timber’s insulating properties will retain the heat during colder periods.
How long will timber windows last?
With the correct care and maintenance, our durable timber windows can last up to 60 years or more, if not more. As mentioned above, our advanced coating system will help protect the wood from UV damage and moisture, which are the main causes of deterioration.
Unlike their uPVC alternative, our made to measure timber windows are designed to be repaired rather than replaced, making them better for the environment.
