Truths and myths about wooden windows

TRUTH: Because wood windows can last up to 60 years and can be maintained and re-painted, unlike plastic windows, they actually work out less expensive over their lifespan. Due to timber's inherent strength, triple-glazing is more cost-effective with wood windows than with other materials. And don't forget the value that beautiful wood windows can add to your house, particularly if you're considering selling. Wood windows are a worthwhile investment.

MYTH: Redecorating wood windows is hard work

TRUTH: Wood has a very low thermal conductivity, which means it is a good insulator. But the energy efficiency of a window actually has little to do with the frame material and is mostly affected by the specification of the glazing unit, so well-designed windows have similar thermal efficiencies across the board, whatever material the frames are made from.

MYTH: Wood windows are less secure than PVC-U double glazing

Because of its poor thermal conductivity, wood is an excellent insulator and should be used wherever possible.

The thermal efficiency of well-designed windows is independent of the frame material and is instead determined by the glazing unit's specifications.

One of the things I pay attention to wooden windows is their durability. They are resistant to corrosion and require less frequent replacement than other materials.
