In general, wooden windows tend to be more expensive than uPVC windows as the manufacturing process is more labour-intensive and the raw materials are more expensive. But the cost of wooden windows may be offset by their durability and longevity.
What are the key differences in wood vs uPVC?
Wood and uPVC both offer great options for replacing windows, but they do have some key differences. Wooden windows tend to cost more than uPVC windows, making them a more expensive option. Wooden windows also require more ongoing maintenance like repainting to keep them looking their best. uPVC windows need virtually no maintenance aside from occasional cleaning. That said, when properly cared for, wooden windows will likely last longer than uPVC windows. When it comes to energy efficiency, while wooden windows are natural insulators, they are often outperformed by uPVC.
Do people still use wooden windows?
Yes, people still use wooden windows today, and they remain a popular choice for many homeowners and architects. While other materials such as uPVC and aluminium have become more common in recent years, wooden windows continue to offer a timeless look that is hard to replicate. They’re perfect for listed buildings or those in conservation areas. Many people with older properties decide to keep or revive their wooden windows to preserve the traditional look when renovating.
How long do wooden windows last?
Well-constructed and well-maintained wooden windows can last for several decades, with an expected lifespan of around 30 to 50 years. This assumes that the windows are regularly cleaned, maintained, and refinished to protect them from the elements and prevent damage or decay. But if wooden windows are not well-maintained, they can deteriorate more quickly and have a shorter lifespan.
How much do wooden windows cost?
While replacement wooden windows are generally more expensive, the durability of timber over time makes them a cost-effective choice in the long run if properly cared for. The cost of our double glazed wooden windows varies in line with the style, size and species of hardwood or softwood you choose. Softwoods grow very fast, which makes them the less pricey option compared to hardwoods, which grow slowly.
Do wooden windows add value to a house?
High-quality and expertly installed wooden windows can add value and appeal to any home. Not only do they look fantastic, enhancing the aesthetics of a property, but new wooden windows also add thermal efficiency, security, and durability. Many potential buyers will appreciate the choice of wooden windows for that natural, classic feel.
How do you prevent wood window frames from rotting?
The key to avoiding rot in wooden windows is to control moisture as much as possible. Check wooden frames for signs of cracking or peeling, or for problems with sealant around the glass panes. Timber windows also need repainting to maintain their weather resistance. Our timber window finishes are guaranteed up to 10 years. During the winter months, when condensation is more likely to form on the inside of the glass, make sure to regularly wipe any moisture away with a clean cloth to help maintain finishes for longer.
