What Makes Timber Windows Unique (and Influences Their Cost)

You might be wondering, “What goes into the price of a timber window?” That’s a great question! Here are the key factors:

1. The Timber You Choose

The type of wood you select lays the foundation for your windows. We offer a range of options, each with its own character and benefits:

Softwoods

• Pine: A versatile and budget-friendly option, pine is ideal for creating classic, elegant windows without breaking the bank.

Hardwoods

• Meranti: Robust and durable, Meranti offers a rich colour that’s perfect for stains and also gives excellent durability and resistance to decay. It's also reasonable in price compared to other hardwoods which its why its our personal favourite.
• Sapele: An African hardwood, Sapele is known for its tight, interlocking grain and reddish-brown color, offering both beauty and durability.
• Oak: Oak is prestigious and has timeless elegance. Known for its stunning grain and strength. Oak is an investment in unmatched durability and beauty. 

Modified Timber

• Accoya: The ultimate choice for longevity and stability. This high-performance wood is resistant to rot, making it a sustainable and long-lasting option.

2. Style and Design

From the timeless charm of sash windows to the sleek modernity of aluminium-clad timber windows, each design requires different levels of craftsmanship and material, which can influence the price.

3. Customisation and Details

This is where your windows truly come to life. Features like bespoke glazing, decorative bars, or unique finishes add character—and can also add to the cost.

4. Glazing Options

Opting for energy-efficient glazing, such as vacuum-sealed glass, can improve performance but might increase the upfront investment.

5. Size Matters

Larger or uniquely shaped windows require more materials and labour, naturally impacting the cost.
