Timber Windows Edinburgh

Period Aesthetic

Edinburgh is renowned for its beautiful period properties and heritage buildings, so we understand that homeowners need fixtures that combine the modern standards of thermal efficiency and security but still want to uphold the traditional aesthetics of their home. Replacing the windows of a period property or listed building with plastic windows feels as though betraying the character of a historic home. Worryingly, it can also violate your planning permission and may cause real problems for you down the road. With timber windows, however, you can uphold and respect the aesthetics and requirements of your home, even matching the original designs of the property.

Quality timber windows are likely to add value to your Edinburgh home, maintaining an authentic property full of charm whilst modernising the efficiency of the property, making these homes extremely attractive to buyers. Timber window frames add warmth and comfort to interior spaces, which feel inviting and make your home a cosy and peaceful place.

Insulating Properties

Timber contains naturally occurring insulating properties, which gives your new windows industry leading thermal efficiency. Timber frames help prevent heat loss from your home, meaning less heating is required to maintain warmth during the stark Scottish winters. This insulation will therefore save you money on your heating bills year after year, more than making up for the initial expenditure for such high quality frames.

Timber’s natural density as a hardwood can help to reduce noise infiltration into your home. With timber windows, your family can enjoy peace and quiet at home, as your windows work behind the scenes to prevent noise pollution from the world outside. This can make timber window frames an excellent choice for homes located near the busy Edinburgh tourist areas or main roads.

Durability

Our timber frames are crafted from the finest quality hardwoods and are incredibly hard wearing and long lasting. In contrast to uPVC windows which are expected to last anything from 10-25 years with appropriate maintenance, our timber frames can be expected to survive for decades! Your grandchildren could still be enjoying the timber frames you commission today with their own families.

Timber frames can withstand the elements including rain, UV exposure and frosts, without deteriorating quickly. As a company based in the heart of Scotland, we appreciate just how tough our homes need to be to cope with the broad range of weather conditions we are blessed with throughout the year!

Sustainability

In a world where we are all increasingly conscious of global warming and the welfare of the planet, you can also be assured that you have chosen frames made of renewable resources. Timber frames can be biodegraded when they are finally done with and are a more eco-friendly choice when compared to aluminium or uPVC windows. Less fuel required for heating also reduces your carbon emissions and prevents damage to the atmosphere.

Vacuum Glazing

Our cutting edge vacuum glazing drastically improves the thermal efficiency of historic buildings.

If you live in a historic building with many single glazed windows, look no further. You can cut down massively on wasted energy lost through inefficient single glazing. Vacuum glazing is just as slim, making it a perfect replacement, and it can provide a huge increase in thermal efficiency.
