Being manufactured using hardwood makes the windows more weatherproofed than if they had been made of softwood.

When choosing such windows you should check that the wood has been suitably strengthened such as by being bonded to help increase the lifespan of your new windows. This will also ensure that the timber windows do not twist ensuring a tight fit helping to reduce heat-loss.
Your hardwood windows can be treated in a number of ways such as by being stained or painted in a variety of colours. You really can let your imagination take over in this respect. Yes, such windows will require more maintenance than uPVC windows but you will still benefit from extremely high levels of insulation as they will be made using either double or triple glazing.
There are so many styles of window such as casement windows and sash windows or you can go for something more contemporary. If your preference is for casement windows then you could consider traditional flush ones, lipped ones or tilt and turn ones to name but a few. In the case of sash windows you could choose from the likes of hidden spring ones or box ones to name but two. So, whether you live in an oak-framed Tudor cottage, an Edwardian residence or a brand new property there is a huge selection available to blend in with your property.
