What are the benefits of timber windows?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
\nThere\u2019s no denying that when it comes to wooden frames versus uPVC<\/a>, the latter are often cheaper in terms of the initial outlay. But this alone should not be the only factor when considering upgrading your windows. For one thing, timber windows are by far a superior product for many reasons. These are\u2026\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Sheer good looks<\/span><\/h4>\n

Nothing beats the effect newly installed Andrew Jaynes windows have on a property. Timber windows have a classic authenticity that uPVC can\u2019t compete with.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Whole life costs<\/span><\/h4>\n

uPVC windows have a life expectancy of about 15 \u2013 25 years, after which they are unrepairable and end up in the landfill. Our Accoya windows have a life expectancy of 50 \u2013 70+ years and can be repaired and repainted, looking good for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Adds value to your home<\/span><\/h4>\n

The benefit of installing high-performance timber windows like ours is the recognisable added value and desirability of your home. Your house could see an increased price after investing in new windows since potential buyers will look at ageing or unsightly windows as future cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Energy efficiency<\/span><\/h4>\n

Timber windows from Andrew Jaynes can be single, double or triple glazed \u2013 Combined with the naturally insulating properties of timber to give thermal performance at industry leading levels. All of which can help to insulate your home, preventing heat-loss and saving you money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not ask us about our heat-reflecting glazing?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Low maintenance<\/span><\/h4>\n

Reliable and stable timber sources, coupled with high-precision computer-controlled manufacturing has seen a revival in wooden windows. Andrew Jaynes timber framed windows for example, offer the best performance in the long term with durability, stability and minimal maintenance once installed. Meaning that traditional upkeep, rotting, warping and draughts are a thing of the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Environmentally sound<\/span><\/h4>\n

In a world where we\u2019re increasingly concerned about the welfare of our planet, choosing a reliable and sustainable product like wood is a responsible decision. Not only is timber a renewable resource, but a single tree will absorb upto one tonne of carbon dioxide in its life and generate enough oxygen to support two people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew Jaynes only uses the best quality, responsibly sourced wood to make its windows and doors, and Accoya is our recommended timber. It\u2019s fast-grown wood that undergoes an <\/span>environmentally friendly treatment process<\/span> that makes it virtually rot-proof and dimensionally stable. Managed plantations take 27 years to reach a harvestable age, and the timber itself lasts over 70 years in service after treatment. Accoya has a far greater environmental advantage than other hardwood timbers who typically harvest old growth at 60 \u2013 100 years<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. No need to paint<\/span><\/h4>\n

Andrew Jaynes factory-finish the windows, meaning that everything arrives on site fully painted and protected. We use a Sikkens product, which is spray applied before the windows are glazed so that all hard to reach surfaces get fully covered. The result is a great-looking finish that \u2013 <\/span>thanks to its flexibility and microporous breathability \u2013 is guaranteed up to 10 years.<\/p>\n

We can paint them any colour you want, even colour-matching to your favourite paint range. Two colour finishes? Stain finish? We can do them all. Just <\/span>get in touch<\/span><\/a> to find out more.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Ideal for period properties<\/span><\/h4>\n

Replacing windows in a period property<\/span><\/a> or listed building with plastic windows not only betrays the character of your historic home, but it\u2019s also likely to be in violation of your planning permission. Andrew Jaynes is qualified to assess and guide you in making the right choice for your home.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
