Choosing timber windows

Choose the detail and plan the care

Look at the frame shape, glazing divisions and relationship with surrounding brick or stone. Compare timber with traditional-looking alternatives if you are weighing appearance against ongoing maintenance.

A finish is also a care decision. Ask for the maintenance guidance for the chosen timber window and consider how you will reach upstairs frames for future upkeep.
