There are several advantages to using hardwood windows in your home:

  • Most people choose hardwood windows for the singular reason that nothing can beat the elegance and look of a well-designed wooden window in your home.
  • Hardwood windows are durable and can last a really long time. Hardwood windows like those made by Trade Timber Windows can last as long as 60 years. This is great news, especially when you consider that a standard uPVC window is not expected to last more than 30 years.
  • Windows made from hardwood are one of the most eco-friendly window choices you can have, both in terms of carbon reduction and energy efficiency. Hardwood windows are the ideal solution if reducing your carbon footprint is one of the goals of your home.

  • Hardwood windows will give your home more structural strength. Hardwood windows have stronger frames than windows built with other materials; this means that they can support bigger windows without affecting the beauty of your home.

Even though hardwood windows are a bit more expensive than most other window types, the benefits far outweigh the costs. And what’s more,we try to provide the best quality hardwood windows at the most competitive prices. This means that you are unlikely to get hardwood windows of our level of quality at a lesser price elsewhere.


Hardwood or softwood, which is right for me?

Timber or wooden windows are usually made with hardwood or softwood. Softwood Windows – Softwood windows are window frames made from softwood timber. Wood frame windows are generally very attractive and can provide a high level of energy efficiency because of their heat retention capabilities. Wood windows can be quite expensive, however, softwood windows are relatively cheaper because they are easy to access and easy to grow. Hardwood Windows – Hardwood windows just like their softwood counterpart, being very attractive in homes and meeting high expectations for energy efficiency. They are, however, more expensive than softwood or any other window type. Wooden-frame windows can be painted or stained the color of your choice to suit your décor.

Your decision to go with either softwood or hardwood will be determined by your budget. Even though these two wood types are equally impressive, it will cost a lot less to install a softwood window than a hardwood window. From the name, you can probably guess that hardwood is stronger than softwood and also lasts longer. Can’t make up your mind? Let our experts help you.


Hardwood or uPVC, which is right for me?

Even though uPVC is currently one of the most popular materials used to build windows, hardwood windows have retained much of their popularity and are not just preferred by most homeowners, but they are actually more ideal for most properties. However, your decision to opt for a uPVC window or hardwood window is more of a personal choice, but the following key-points may make your choice easier:

Hardwood windows

  • The aesthetic appeal of natural real wood
  • Higher thermal efficiency
  • Resistance to shrinking and warping
  • Longer lasting – up to 60 years
  • All wood is sourced following the accepted processes
  • They are more expensive than uPVC and require more maintenance
  • They are stronger and so provide a structural advantage

uPVC windows

  • They are easier to maintain
  • A lot cheaper than hardwood windows
  • Available in more colour choices
  • Available in more styles
  • Triple glazing only possible with uPVC

If you live in a listed or conservative area, you may prefer the natural beauty and charm of hardwood windows over the more popular uPVC. Hardwood windows will retain the authenticity of your property, especially if it is a period property. Even though uPVC windows are cheaper and come with a bit more options in terms of colours and style, hardwood windows will last much longer if properly maintained.
