What are Wood Effect Windows?

What are wood effect windows? To put it simply, wood effect windows are uPVC framed windows with the appearance of a timber frame. This means that although they appear wooden, they are in actuality built with a uPVC profile, which is an Un-plasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride. This means that they are incredibly durable and sport significant life spans. They can weather the worst outdoor conditions and retain their gorgeous look without compromise.

You can enjoy the traditional timber look without all the unnecessary upkeep or replacement cost. Wood effect windows allow you to enjoy the look of the old with the benefits of the new, such as thermal efficiency and property security.

Utilising the classic look and the durability of uPVC frames, wood effect doors can come in a variety of styles that are perfect for traditional or heritage homes, maintaining the aesthetic of the buildings. They are also a superb choice for those looking to add a traditional piece to their modern homes to emanate that classic feel. Such styles include:

• Flush Sash: A minimalistic design outlined with beautiful timber frames that sport high-quality Deceuninck uPVC profiles. Available in a wide range of wood finishes such as Rosewood, Golden Oak, Nut Tree, Chartwell Green, Irish Oak and even Anthracite among many others. These options provide the appearance of natural wood, whilst maintaining the maintenance ease and lack of warping of uPVC. Our popular Heritage (H) shades are extremely durable and even allow a different colour on the interior frame. Our fast-track (F) colours are perfect if you need your flush sash timber look windows quicker.
