Timber Windows At Mitchell Glass – A Tried And Tested Classic

Timber has been a key element in the construction of properties for generations due its natural appearance and environmentally-friendly qualities. When properly looked after, timber can last for years and years at a time, whilst still demonstrating aesthetic qualities that few other materials can match or replicate. It also offers superb insulation, hence its popularity amongst house builders. However, timber windows in Edinburgh and timber windows in Livingston have fallen to the wayside a little over recent years in certain parts of the country due to the rising usage of UPVC windows. But in Scotland and at Mitchell Glass they still remain a huge favourite and it isn’t difficult to see why.
Yes, a timber window will require some looking after, but you only get back what you put in so if you continually treat them they will justify your time and efforts. They can also help keep energy bills down as no other window material can conserve and contain heat as well as timber.
You only need to look at a timber window to appreciate why it is regularly used in both period and contemporary properties. The wood grain effect offered has a unique quality to it and as it ages it develops in character, helping to generate a character all of its own. It can give your home personality and really bring out the best of it.
Some people may never have seen quality timber window frames in the flesh. We recommend that they come down to our Galashiels showroom as we have a selection of timber windows on display.
Not only that but you can also speak to several members of our installation team who are adept when it comes to fitting and installing timber windows and doors in homes throughout Scotland.
