Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about our Timber Alternative Windows? Maybe we already have the answer.
What are timber alternative windows made from?
Timber alternative windows are typically made from uPVC or composite materials with a woodgrain finish, designed to replicate the look of traditional timber without the maintenance.
Do timber alternative windows really look like real wood?
Yes. High-quality timber alternatives are incredibly realistic, with authentic woodgrain textures, deep detailing, and traditional joinery effects that closely mimic real timber frames.
Are timber alternative windows low maintenance?
Very. Unlike real timber, these windows won’t need sanding, painting, or staining. A simple wipe-clean is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking their best.
Are they energy efficient?
Yes. Timber alternative windows are fitted with modern double or triple glazing and multi-chambered frames for excellent thermal insulation and reduced energy bills.
Can I install timber alternative windows in a period property?
Often, yes. Many ranges are specifically designed for heritage or conservation-style homes, offering traditional aesthetics with modern performance — though always check with your local authority for listed buildings.
What colour and style options are available?
There’s a wide selection, from classic white woodgrain to rich oak, cream, or heritage shades, with options for flush or storm casements, astragal bars, and traditional ironmongery.
