Windows
Timber windows with natural character
Timber windows offer familiar material and detailing for homes where character matters. Choose the opening style, proportions and finish with the architecture of your property in mind.
Choosing timber windows
Choose the detail and plan the care
Look at the frame shape, glazing divisions and relationship with surrounding brick or stone. Compare timber with traditional-looking alternatives if you are weighing appearance against ongoing maintenance.
A finish is also a care decision. Ask for the maintenance guidance for the chosen timber window and consider how you will reach upstairs frames for future upkeep.

What happens at the survey?
Discuss the character you want to retain, look at the existing openings and compare the available timber designs and finishes.
Before installation begins
Agree the finishing around each frame and request the care instructions for the product installed so you know how to look after it.
