All 21st Century Homes Have Room For Timber Windows

Since the advent of UPVC windows many people have turned their backs on timber believing it to be insufficient in the modern UK home. There is no denying that traditional timber windows lacked the energy efficiency to keep a property warm and were liable to draughts, making for cold households, but they do have an unrivalled aesthetic appeal.That is why many window suppliers are now taking timber windows and updating them for the 21st century so that they include double glazing in Edinburgh rather than just one single pane of glass.
Timber windows in Edinburgh have also been adapted from a security point of view as traditional locking mechanisms on old windows tended to be very unreliable. A new modern multi-point locking system has been put in place so that the chances of anyone managing to get into your property without your permission are significantly reduced.
It doesn’t matter whether you live in a new-build or long-standing home, timber windows will fit in beautifully and with tremendous ease. However, an old timber window would need constant care and attention as it would need a fresh coat of paint every few months. A brand new timber window needs no such fuss as it can go for as long as 8 years without needing any form of repainting.
You also don’t need to worry about your timber windows being damaging to the environment as it takes 8 times less energy to put together a timber window compared to a UPVC equivalent. All windows are also labelled from A-G, meaning that when you choose an A rated window you can be certain that your home is as environmentally-friendly as possible.
For the full 21st century makeover you could also think about conservatories in Edinburgh as a way of extending your living space.
