Timber
Wood is an amazing, natural material that can give a real touch of luxury and class to any home. It's also extremely durable and offers a timeless beauty that will never date. It's available in a traditional appearance or a range of styles that can fit any contemporary style. In addition to these advantages, timber windows are incredibly energy efficient and easy to maintain.
If you are considering a window made of wood the best choice will be based on the climate, house type and desired look. For instance the pine window works well in most environments, while mahogany windows work better in certain homes. When selecting a window made of wood it is crucial to inquire with the manufacturer about their treatment process as certain treatments could create weak points that can be prone to rot or be damaged over time.
Certain companies use a mix of chemicals and pressure when treating their wood. This could be extremely detrimental to the environment. There are alternative options for eco-friendly wood that produce similar results. One of these options is Accoya that uses a patented process to create wood that is more durable than teak and can last for 50 years above ground level and 25 years in fresh water. It is also resistant to rot and is indigestible by fungi and insects. Accoya is also renewable, using only abundantly-available, fast-growing species such as radiata pine to produce the timber.
Another benefit of using Accoya is that it is dimensionally stable which means that the frame won't shrink or expand when the temperature or humidity. Swelling and shrinkage can create problems with opening doors and windows, because they could block the opening or allow draughts through. Accoya has superior dimensional stabilty and is guaranteed to open and close easily all through the year.
ALTI is a different option to timber. It uses a mix of recycled aluminum and sustainable wood. The result is a product that is more durable and stronger than any other wooden window. In fact, it can endure wind speeds up to 254 kph. It is perfect for older buildings, such as Listed Buildings or those in conservation areas where windows need to be as original as is possible.
