Across the years, joiners have been able to perfect the art of creating and maintaining wooden windows to deliver exceptional quality and detail which works to complement your home’s character and allure perfectly.
In comparison, PVCu windows are typically only guaranteed for ten years and are expensive to replace if they fail. Moreover, due to the fact modern windows are unable to reproduce the beautiful mouldings and characteristic details of traditional timber windows, PVCu units are unsuitable for use in any historic or period home and should be avoided at all costs. |

Of course, wooden windows too sometimes encounter issues that need rectifying. The most common issues which arise with timber sash windows include the failure of joints over time, rotting of the wood, sticking of the frames, putty failure, windy draughts and rattling.
While most of these issues are the result of a lack of good protective coat of paint and overall maintenance, rattling frames and cold draughts can be dealt with in a number of ways including draught proofing and resealing the existing frames to restore their functionality and reduce energy consumption, too.
