Composite Windows

Alu-clad timber windows offer functionality without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Many homeowners prefer the natural look of wood, which is something uPVC cannot replace.

While timber composite windows cost more than uPVC, their energy efficiency, natural beauty, and lower thermal conductivity make them a more suitable long-term investment.

While composite timber windows use aluminium cladding, a traditional timber window frame is constructed from timber only. Both have benefits, but composite windows are easier to maintain, and the aluminium enhances durability.

It’s a matter of personal preference, as some people don’t want to sacrifice a pure timber frame, while others would prefer a combination for practical reasons.

Due to the restrictions in place, owners of listed properties might be unable to use composite windows, but traditional timber is ideal for period windows.

Alu-clad windows are easy to maintain because the cladding provides additional protection from moisture and debris. Cleaning your windows regularly will maintain their aesthetic appeal, and the frames might require touch-ups every few years.

We’re passionate about sourcing timber that aligns with our commitments to sustainability and customer satisfaction. Our most popular timber types include:

• Sapele: Tropical wood that’s highly rot-resistant and energy-efficient.
• Idigbo: Resistant to insects, moisture and warping, with a straight grain.
• European Oak: Sourced from Europe, our best-selling wood accommodates different finishes and has an A++ energy efficiency rating.

All of our timber is of the highest quality. Please contact us if you’re unsure which timber frames suit your needs.

Imagine sliding a window up and down with an effortless grace – that’s how Victorian windows, especially the sash types, opened. Some designs had both the top and bottom sashes moving, while others had just one. It wasn’t just about looking good; this design allowed for just the right amount of air to breeze through, making them as practical as they were pretty.

Victorian windows were primarily crafted from wood – the go-to material of the era. The glass? Often it was hand-blown, giving each window its own unique charm. In wealthier homes, you’d find stained or leaded glass, adding a layer of opulence and intricate detailing. These materials weren’t just chosen for their looks; they reflected the craftsmanship and quality of the time.
