When it comes to making improvements to your home, there is often a struggle between what looks aesthetically pleasing and what is practical and affordable. For many the idea of having traditional wooden window frames is preferred but they have their disadvantages. Here at Win-Dor, we think timber alternative windows are the answer!
With recent manufacturing changes you cannot compare them to the cost or durability of uPVC windows, however you do not have to compromise. We now offer local homeowners uPVC windows which highly resemble timber frames. Let’s have a look at the benefits of these and why you should consider them:
1. Every home can benefit from authentic styling
Timber alternative frames allow you to have the charm of a period style window without compromising on quality. Many people see plastic as less attractive but timber alternative windows have both the look and feel of real timber. Timber alternatives are suitable for a wide variety of homes and will fit in nicely with both modern and traditional styles.
2. More cost-effective than traditional timber
Compared to real timber windows uPVC’s are much more affordably priced while still offering you great quality. Very often you can replace two for the price of one wooden window. For many this is the biggest advantage.
3. Exceedingly easy to look after
uPVC windows require very little maintenance; a clean every so often is all that is needed to ensure that they stay dirt free and appear as new. Unlike timber they are extremely durable and will never rot or fade. Timber often requires repainting every 5 years so choosing an alternative will save you valuable time as well as money. The Building Research Company puts their lifespan at thirty-five years which makes them a worthwhile investment.
4. Enjoy absolute peace of mind as well as great style
Their durability also makes them extremely secure and very difficult to break through giving you piece of mind that your loved ones and possessions are safe.
5. Reducing your home’s carbon footprint
If reducing your impact on the environment is a concern these windows are highly energy efficient and are capable of trapping heat in your home much longer than wooden windows which will also reduce your energy bills. UPVC is also made from petroleum which can be recycled up to 7 times making it a sustainable material.
