Timber Windows Have A Place In Contemporary Properties

There is a widely held misconception that timber windows no longer have a place in the modern home as they are a poor insulator of heat, easily rot and generally lose their appeal quickly without regular maintenance. This may be true of old timber windows, but Mitchell Glass can offer brand new timber windows with all the benefits provided by any form of UPVC window.Good looking
Timber windows in Edinburgh from Mitchell Glass have a beautiful natural aesthetic look that very few materials can replicate. The wood grain effect present through a wooden timber window is something that simply cannot be imitated in all double glazing in Edinburgh and is something that gets better and better with age. Timber develops in character so that the appearance of your windows continually improves.
Great insulation
Wood is a fantastic insulator of heat. It can trap any heat generated by your boiler or the natural heat of the sun and store it inside your home for long periods of time, meaning that you can switch your heating off at certain times. This will also help to bring down the cost of your current energy bills and keep your home consistently warm.
Good for the environment
When your timber window reaches the end of its shelf-life it can easily be recycled and will in no way be damaging to the environment. Certain window types can have the opposite effect and cannot be as easily disposed with as timber.
Certain longevity
It is true that timber needs to be carefully looked after like conservatories in Edinburgh, but if you give it the regular maintenance it needs, you will be helping increase its lifespan. Look after it like you would any other object in your home and you will be repaid as timber can survive even the harshest of weathers.
