Whilst timber has been the traditional material of choice for windows in the past, its lack of durability, especially in the damp British climate, has seen homeowners increasingly turning to more modern uPVC alternatives over the last few decades, often at the expense of visual appeal.
Timber effect windows offer the perfect solution for those looking to fuse the undeniable natural beauty of real wooden windows with the irrefutable benefits of uPVC material. In this blog we’ll take a look at some of the advantages of choosing wood effect windows for your next home improvement project.
Put simply, wood effect windows are window frames that are made of uPVC but are designed to mimic the warm appearance and character of traditional timber. At DM Windows , our timber effect windows are the ideal choice for anyone seeking to capture the beauty of real wood whilst reaping the benefits of modern construction.
Thanks to their multi-chamber construction, our wood effect uPVC windows have excellent thermal efficiency, so whatever the weather outside, from biting cold to scorching heat, the inside of your home will remain comfortable, and your energy bills could be reduced.
Unlike traditional wood windows, timber effect windows will be strong and durable for years to come -keeping out intruders as well as the winter storms. Here at DM Windows we use top quality locks too, so you can have complete peace of mind that your new windows will pass the test of time.
If you’re living in a conservation area and think uPVC windows aren’t an option for your home, take a look at our wide range of colours. Alongside the incredibly realistic woodgrain charm of English Oak or Rosewood, our timber effect windows come in a range of elegant painted wood colours such as Sage and Clotted Cream. And if your home is more contemporary in style, we have dramatic options such as Noir or Bronze. Offering bespoke options for individual homes, we also have solutions for even the most unusual window size and shape.
It goes without saying that wood effect windows are a perfect choice for aesthetic appeal, perfectly replicating the appearance of real timber windows for a real heritage look. Natural wood aesthetics are highly lauded amongst property owners, for adding a touch of elegance to any modern home.
The maintenance of wood effect windows is where they really score over wooden windows. Gone are the days of sanding, painting, checking for rot and filling holes. All you need to do is give them an occasional wipe with a damp cloth and they will look as good as new for years to come.
