Stick With Tradition And Timber Windows In Edinburgh

Timber has been the material of choice for homes for hundreds of years and it is not difficult to see why when you consider the huge number of benefits it provides. When properly looked after, timber has the ability to last and last due to its immense strength and durability. The insulating properties of timber also help make it the most obvious solution for properties in varying climates. Mitchell Glass has been in existence for more than 135 years. Throughout that time we have stuck with and still continue to promote the benefits of timber windows in Edinburgh and timber windows in Livingston as we know just how well-equipped they are to deal with the Scottish weather. They possess aesthetics that are right out of the top drawer.

Timber is also extremely environmentally-friendly as it is a natural material that lets off no harmful emissions and when it does come to end of its shelf-life can easily be recycled, unlike many other different types of material.
Some people have been put off timber in recent years as they incorrectly believe it to be a material that is time-intensive, i.e. requires regular maintenance to keep it looking at its best. Whilst it is true that timber does need some looking after in the form of repainting and a general clean-up, once dealt with it can be years down the line before you need to give it some attention again.
The appearance of timber is unmistakeable. Those materials that seek to replicate its look often close up bear no resemblance to the traditional effect that timber provides which is why it is an ideal choice for those striving to keep their windows in keeping with their property.
