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.
What are wood effect windows?
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 Window Installations, 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.
Keeping you the perfect temperature
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.
A secure choice
Unlike traditional wood windows, which are always at the mercy of anyone armed with a chisel or screwdriver, timber effect windows will be strong and durable for years to come -keeping out intruders as well as the winter storms. Here at DM Window Installations we use top quality locks too, so you can have complete peace of mind that your new windows will pass the test of time.
Wood effect windows to suit you
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 doors 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 the truly individual home, we also have solutions for even the most unusual window size and shape.
Beautiful Aesthetics
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.
Maintenance-free
The maintenance of wood effect windows is where they really score over wooden window. Gone are the days of sanding, painting, checking for rot and filling holes. All you need to do with timber effect windows is give them an occasional clean with a damp cloth and they will keep looking as good as now for year to come – low maintenance features perfect for the modern world and it’s inevitable time pressures.
