Dismiss Timber Windows From Mitchell Glass At Your Peril

Timber windows get a bad press. They get labelled as being thermally inefficient, difficult to maintain, and the main cause for the high cost of energy bills. Whilst many of these criticisms would have been valid in the past, the modern timber window suffers with no such issues, instead only serving to give homes that much-needed traditional authentic aesthetic appeal. Because of the negativity surrounding timber, UPVC and aluminium-based home improvements have hugely risen in popularity over the past few years, but to rule out timber as a material for conservatories, windows and doors would be a foolish mistake to make.
Mitchell Glass is a firm supporter of timber as not only is it more eco-friendly than most types of material, but it has served properties in Scotland well for hundreds of years and continues to do so if treated accordingly.

Those looking to stay loyal to wooden frames and seeking out timber windows in Edinburgh or timber windows in Livingston, only need to look towards Mitchell Glass for a more than adequate solution. We lovingly prepare our timber windows to ensure that they bring out the best in your home and give you a long-lasting window guaranteed to make your investment worthwhile.
As far as looks are concerned timber is the best choice for most types of home. The natural woodgrain effect of a timber window is something that cannot be replicated and will add a vast amount of character to a property.
Yes, it may need some regular TLC, but look after them properly and you will be rewarded with windows that get better and better with age. Energy bills will also be affected when you opt for timber as your home will feel far warmer, with costs dropping as a result.
Give timber a fair crack of the whip and it will get your home into shape.
