Bay Windows: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I maintain timber bay windows?
George Barnsdale’s timber bay windows are pre-treated with advanced coatings designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and everyday wear. These coatings increase durability, but also reduce the frequency of maintenance required.
To keep your timber bay windows in optimal condition, it’s important to clean them every so often with mild, non-abrasive soap to remove dirt and grime. This will help maintain the finish and prevent any build-up affecting the window’s operation or appearance.
Every few years, re-coating or repainting may be necessary to refresh the finish and protect the wood. We offer a range of specialist coatings and paints that provide long-lasting protection while preserving the aesthetic appeal of your windows.
