Give Your Home A Traditional Twist With Timber Windows

With the introduction of UPVC windows during the 1990s, many people turned their back on traditional timber windows accepting that UPVC would provide them with greater energy efficiency and value for money. The problem was that timber windows used to be notoriously draughty and cold making many homes unpleasant places to be during the winter.However, timber windows in Edinburgh have regained their initial popularity in recent years as people are realising the aesthetic appeal of a timber window cannot truly be replicated in UPVC. They can be painted any colour you like and can be changed whenever the mood takes you making them much more versatile compared to standard double glazing in Edinburgh.
Whether you live in a new build home or an older property, timber windows will fit in perfectly. They are much more environmentally friendly compared to UPVC as the timber used to make the frames is bought from well managed sustainable sources. In the production of UPVC windows several harmful chemicals are used which can be harmful to the environment. They are also much harder to recycle so in every instance timber is much kinder to the planet.
While it is inevitable that things will naturally deteriorate over time, if you look after your timber windows correctly they will last just as long as their UPVC equivalent. They are also much easier to maintain as most handymen will have a go at repairing a wooden window. The same cannot be said for UPVC as they are developed to include complicated moulding and sealing systems that can only be repaired by a UPVC installer.
If you are looking to further improve the appearance of your home and add extra space to your property then conservatories in Edinburgh also provide excellent value for money.
