“Shiver Me Timbers” – Replace Your Old Wooden Windows

Temperatures have plummeted over the past few days with many parts of Scotland experiencing their coldest night of the winter so far, as low as an eye-watering -15C in certain spots.

The best place to be in weather like this, when at all possible, is most definitely indoors. You can feel quite smug when cosied up in front of a roaring hot fire in your pyjamas with a warm drink in your hands but that’s only likely to happen if the windows you have fitted are doing their job properly and managing to keep out as much of the cold as they should. If you have traditional wooden windows installed that have never been replaced then it is more than likely that during the ageing process they will have become less capable in terms of preventing heat loss and draughts. Weathering takes its toll on timber eventually and can lead to gaps and holes appearing in the frame and unless you give them continuous maintenance that’s when such problems arise. You’re far better to get them replaced by Mitchell Glass as it isn’t as hard finding a suitable alternative as you may think. We can supply you with a contemporary take of the original timber window which shares all the aesthetic characteristics of a real wooden window to help preserve the timeless appeal of your home, contains double glazing and offers 21st Century levels of energy efficiency. They even include Georgian bar detailing for extra authenticity and there’s a vast selection of coloured finishes to choose from; what more could you ask for? Those sceptical as to how alike our timber windows are to the real thing should come and journey to our Galashiels showroom where we have them on display. Seeing really is believing as you’ll soon realise.
