Timber is a popular material choice for windows and doors due to its innate character, strength and insulation qualities. But picking the right kind of wood is crucial to the success and tone of your home.
Engineered softwood is a popular material for windows. This precision-manufactured timber offers a similar lifespan to hardwoods like oak, but comes in cheaper. Softwood units can also achieve better U-values than say, aluminium, though these will require more aftercare. Alu-clad frames give you a low-maintenance, modern finish on the outside, with the thermal performance and charm of softwood internally.
