What are timber windows?
Timber windows are made from real wood, traditionally crafted but built to modern standards with sealed double glazing inside the frame. They combine the authentic look and feel of natural wood with the thermal performance, security and low maintenance you expect from a new window.
Today's timber windows use engineered, treated wood and factory-applied finishes, so they resist rot, swelling and weathering far better than the wooden windows of the past. The result is a window that looks beautiful for decades and needs only occasional care to keep it that way.
For period homes, listed buildings and conservation areas, timber is often the most sympathetic choice, replicating original designs while quietly delivering the comfort and efficiency of a modern double glazed unit.

Timber Windows FAQs
Are timber windows energy efficient?
Yes. Modern timber windows are fitted with A-rated double glazing and high-performance seals, so they keep the heat in just as well as uPVC. Timber is also a naturally insulating material, which helps reduce heat loss and lower your energy bills, and you can upgrade to triple glazing for even better performance.
Do timber windows need a lot of maintenance?
Far less than older wooden windows. Today's timber windows use factory-applied microporous paint and treated, engineered timber, so they resist rot and weathering for many years. A light wash and an occasional repaint every few years is usually all that is needed to keep them looking their best.
Are timber windows suitable for conservation areas and listed homes?
Timber windows are often the preferred or required choice in conservation areas and for listed buildings, as they match the traditional character of period properties. Styles such as flush casements and sash windows can replicate original designs while adding the comfort of modern double glazing.
Can I get help funding new timber windows?
