There is something about the tradition and craft behind a wooden window that is very attractive, particularly if you own a traditional property. However, wood windows can be expensive and come with the inherent problems that any wooden product, no matter how carefully crafted, will experience.
In the past, homeowners had to make a choice between costly and high-maintenance real wood windows and less attractive but functional uPVC ones. Happily, there is now a solution to this problem and with the advances in timber effect windows, homeowners can now install attractive, traditional looking windows that will stand the test of time and perform to modern requirements.
Here are four reasons why you should consider timber alternative windows for your property.
1 – Timber alternative windows combine great value with traditional looks
Your choice of windows will make a significant difference to the kerb appeal of your home so it is important to get it right. That said, we all need to work within a budget and by choosing timber alternative windows you can retain the traditional design or high-end appearance of your home whilst leaving money available to spend on other important projects.
2 – Timber alternative windows are energy efficient
No matter how well-made a wooden window is, it won’t be able to match the energy efficiency of a timber effect window. These can make the most of advancing technology and include such important features as multi-chambered profiles and double glazing or even triple glazing. By choosing highly energy efficient wood effect windows, you can save money on heating bills, whilst at the same time doing your bit for the environment.
3 – Timber alternative windows are low maintenance
Wooden windows require painting, surface treatments and other maintenance on a regular basis, and this can be expensive and may even require scaffolding. With timber alternative windows, the only maintenance is a quick clean, which you can do yourself at your convenience.
4 – Timber alternative windows are a convincing substitute for real wood
Whether your home is modern or traditional, timber effect windows really will look as good as the real thing. Even more importantly, because of their low maintenance requirements, they will continue to look as good as new for a long time. Whether you stand back and admire your home from a distance or closely examine each window frame, you won’t be disappointed with the level of grain detail and styling features that has gone into your windows’ creation. As with real timber, you can even choose a distinctive colour for your window frames.
