Timber Windows: Is It Time To Replace Them?

December 14, 2021admin

High-quality and well-maintained timber windows can last for years.

Timber windows are usually found on period properties. They need to be treated and maintained and are repairable. Moreover, they are sometimes a more expensive choice than other frames. But they are a worthy investment.

But if your wooden windows are showing signs of wear and tear, it might be time to replace them.

What Are The Signs That They Need Replacing?

  • The wooden frames are rotting.
  • The paint is peeling.
  • If the windows no longer close properly.
  • There is water ingress from the windows.
  • Mould or mildew is building up.
  • The windows are jamming or sticking.

Why Should I Replace My Timber Windows?

If your windows display any of the signs listed above, your windows are not performing well. Moreover, they are not energy-efficient.

Furthermore, your central heating will have to work harder to compensate for the lack of insulation in your home. Moisture will also enter your home causing potential damp.

With the windows not being energy-efficient, energy bills will suffer. Moreover, this means that you will be paying more each month. In the long run, it may be more cost-effective to replace the windows.

Rotting window units pose a security risk too. As the seal is not secure, the windows and their frames can open easily.

Moreover, if you live in a built-up area, sound insulation can also be compromised.

Another reason why you may wish to replace your timber windows is to alter the style of your home. uPVC or aluminium window frames can modernise the home. Replacement wooden windows can emphasise period features and keep the house looking traditional.

Finally, replacing timber windows can add to the property’s value – no matter the material of the frame or whether you’re considering selling in the future or not.
