Timber windows are an authentic option for heritage homes. However, older ones can quickly start to lose their quality. Over time, old wooden windows can crack and lose their shape, creating gaps for cold air to rush into homes. Because of this, it’s easy to think that wooden windows have had their day.
However, with Dempsey Dyer, you can explore a stunning range of modern heritage windows. These designs use durable species of timber which have better insulation, weather protection and security. Available in multiple designs, you can use timber windows to enhance your heritage home, or you could offer them as part of your business.
Dempsey Dyer is a leading company for timber windows. Our designs, which we manufacture in North Yorkshire, are quality options for any home and any business. Not only that, but you can get flexibility when you work with us. That’s because you can customise our window profiles, meaning you can get the perfect look for your home or offer those choices to your clients.
That way, you’ll get heritage windows that have timeless designs, but with benefits that are well-suited to the modern world. With these designs, you’ll make a lasting investment.
Timber windows are a design classic. With wooden frames, you’ll get a traditional window that suits rural homes, cottages and other heritage properties. Our windows use traditional butt hinges, meaning the design draws from classic techniques. However, you’ll be able to blend them with wooden frames that are tested to be resistant to corrosion.
Because of this, our timber windows are a more durable option for properties. When wind and rain come into contact with them, the windows won’t fade or lose their shape as quickly. That way, they offer better insulation and more durability, pushing the idea of repair costs back by years.
Additionally, our timber windows come with a range of modern benefits. You’ll get double glazing as standard in the design, giving you glass that works to save energy for your home. And, with the option of MACO locks and a security guarantee, your home and business can get peace of mind that they’ll have a secure design.
Dempsey Dyer’s flush timber windows suit heritage homes to a T. You’ll get a beautiful timber frame in a range of species, including the highly durable and efficient Accoya option. Also, the windows sit flush within their frame, meaning fewer gaps for cold air to pass through and for water to seep in through the wood.
Instead, you’ll get full double glazing and a dry gasket with a sloped or concealed drainage system. That means they’ll deal with weather conditions effectively. Not only that, but our timber windows are highly secure, with Espagnolette locking systems with mushroom bolts and shootbolts tested 40,000 times for total durability.
Also, the flush sash casement design is fully customisable. If you’d like to create a heritage window for a heritage home, then we offer Astragal bars, casement stays, and sash styles with four degrees of thickness. As a result, you can get the perfect look for your home, and offer it as part of your business with Dempsey Dyer.
Meanwhile, our mock sash casement timber windows are also ideal for heritage windows. These designs take the appearance of sliding sash windows but open outwardly. Because of this, they’re less likely to cause finger traps or to lose their smooth operation. Not only that, but they suit any home, and provide plenty of natural light and ventilation.
You can also modify the sash profile to be as thick or as thin as you need it to be. If the home is in a conservation area or AONB where it’s important to preserve the classic look, then the 4-10mm Ebernoe sash uses putty glazing techniques to fit these homes.
These windows will continue to work perfectly for years to come, too. We test our friction stays 30,000 times before we let each window leave the factory, and they’re available as Austenitic for high corrosion resistance. And, with a choice of Fab & Fix and Croft hardware, you’ll make sure to have the right window for any home.
Our Stormproof casement timber windows redefine what wood can do. That’s because, with these designs, you’ll get windows that deal with even the worst conditions. They feature moisture-resistant finishes and a full dry gasket glazing system which eliminates standing water. Because of this, the wooden frames are much less likely to crack, warp or twist over time.
Also, Stormproof windows can protect from a lot more than the weather. You can get high-performance, heavy-duty hinges to make sure an intruder can’t break your window apart by force. Additionally, the Stormproof design has a Secured by Design accreditation.
Stormproof windows can even save money for homes. With the Accoya timber species, you can achieve an ‘A’ Window Energy Rating. That means you’ll get leading efficiency and insulation. As a homeowner, you can cut the cost of your energy bills, while businesses can offer sustainable heritage windows that protect the planet.
If you’re still not sure on timber windows, then Dempsey Dyer has designs that take a different approach to heritage homes. Instead, you could invest in our woodgrain finish windows! They use uPVC frames instead of timber but use an authentic woodgrain finish to give your window a quality appearance.
uPVC is less expensive than timber, more maintainable, and fully weatherproof. As a result, these windows won’t lose their shape for decades. However, our wooden windows can give you quality performance in a window with quality aesthetics that no other designs can match.

When people are looking to expand their homes, many of them immediately think of conservatories – and for good reason. These are a classic, stylish option that provides versatile functionality in a cost-effective and relatively straightforward installation.
Increasingly, however, orangeries are soaring in popularity as an alternative to traditional conservatories and even full-scale house extensions. What makes orangeries so popular? Just like conservatories, they can be used in any way you choose, from a relaxing retreat to sit and read to a vibrant social hub for entertaining or even an inspirational office space.
Orangeries are an excellent way to boost a home’s kerb appeal and help any property stand out from the crowd. If homeowners are thinking of investing in one, there are many important options for them to consider. Not only must they decide how they want to use a new orangery, but they must decide on key points of its manufacture and design.
Here at Dempsey Dyer, we manufacture both uPVC and timber orangeries in the UK for homeowners looking to expand their living space and their horizons. What are the differences between timber and uPVC conservatories, and which has the advantage over the other? There are many important questions to ask before any homeowner can reach a decision, which is why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help.
The first question you may find yourself and customers asking is, what exactly is an orangery? They are not as widely known as conservatories by name, and many are often mistaken for these.
Put simply, orangeries in both timber and uPVC styles are recognisable because they are predominantly brick structures with large windows; comparatively, uPVC and wooden conservatories are primarily glass structures. There are also differences between the roof styles: orangeries often feature a flat roof with a glass lantern, while conservatories have a pitched roof.
The original orangery designs trace their history back to Renaissance-era Italy. In the seventeenth century, these structures were grand and elaborate, separate from the house in the way we know summerhouses to be. Traditional orangeries were made of timber, expertly handcrafted, for a space that was full of natural light.
The legacy of the orangery holds true to this day, with many homeowners recognising the elaborate history of these installations and associating them with similarly grand ideas and lifestyles today. This makes orangeries even more desirable, particularly timber orangery styles, as they closely follow their original designs.
Traditional orangeries were, as their name suggestions, associated with the citrus fruits. Since these were not accustomed to cold weather, orange trees needed to be shielded with warmth and natural light in abundance.
Now, however, modern orangeries in uPVC and timber are quite different in appearance and functionality. Up-to-date designs are more akin to conservatories in style and function. The similar versatility of conservatories is true for orangeries. Homeowners often use them for relaxing, dining, socialising, even as light-filled guest bedrooms or even simply storage – the possibilities are endless.
Compared to conservatories, uPVC and timber orangeries alike look and feel more like traditional house extension. Their room-like feel makes them into a more cohesive expansion of any living space. They boast a design that also maintains a more liveable temperate all year round, meaning they are an excellent investment in all weathers.
As an expansion of a home, there doesn’t have to be a specific function for a new orangery – it can be made use of in any way possible. For homeowners looking for more living space for friends and family to enjoy, they’ll have a brand-new space to move through and enjoy. From lounging, relaxing, dining, socialising and more, uPVC and timber orangeries can be used in any and every way you can think of.
Once homeowners have decided on an orangery and are imagining the many different ways in which they can be used, the next part is to start finalising the design and materials to be used in this. Which is better for orangeries, uPVC or timber? We’ll outline some of the features of both, to help you make a decision that’s right for you.
uPVC orangeries are a cost-effective option that is also highly customisable. Homeowners can create the aesthetic they want with a wide range of colour options to choose from. If you want an authentic timber orangery aesthetic, you can choose a woodgrain finish for your uPVC orangery. These designs can be enhanced further with cutting-edge locking mechanisms, highly secure handles and A-rated glazing. This means uPVC orangery can provide exceptional performance at affordable price points.
Timber orangeries perfectly encapsulate the timeless elegance of their original design without the need of any colour or finish to emulate this. They are highly authentic, adding both character and value to any property. With advanced timber that can be chosen in various options, wooden orangeries don’t compromise on performance at all and they are impressively low maintenance, even compared to uPVC orangeries.
Orangery designs have come a long way since the seventeenth century, as has the timber used to manufacture them. For a truly authentic orangery that has stood the test of time for hundreds of years and will do so for many more years to come, wooden orangeries are the ideal choice. For those looking to mimic this style in a slightly more cost-effective way, with more colour options to choose from, uPVC orangery styles could the best choice.
If you’re wondering which is better – uPVC vs timber orangeries – there’s no need to worry. With the modern designs manufactured by our professional team at Dempsey Dyer, you can have the best of both worlds with either.
Our uPVC orangeries provide an authentic aesthetic alongside modern performance; our timber orangeries are made with state-of-the-art materials for high-performance results. Both uPVC and timber orangeries would make a stunning addition to any home.
