THE TIMBER WINDOWS STORY

The original engineered timber windows & doors – incredible innovation

At the start of the new century the founders of Timber Windows were confronted by a problem. They knew that discerning homeowners preferred timber windows & doors to cheaper plastic or aluminium alternatives, yet there were no timber products capable of delivering lasting performance.

Finding the answer took Timber Windows on a journey that turned the timber window & door industry on its head. Combining Scandinavian techniques with German engineering, the company introduced high quality products manufactured in engineered timber, a material never seen before in the UK.

This revolutionary approach enabled the development of an incredibly innovative range of timber windows & doors and shaped the ongoing success of Timber Windows as a business. With beginnings in just a single high street shop, the network now spans more than forty beautiful showrooms, dedicated to transforming the homes of discerning owners across the country.

T H E T I M B E R W I N D O W S

P H I L O S O P H Y .

We feel there s a good chance tha you ’ re reading our brochure, you ’ re a ready some way into your thought process about timber being the material of choice for your home’s new windows and doors however not all timber is equal, and we nvite you to discover wha makes Timber Windows stand out from the crowd

From our found ng moment to the presen day and beyond, Timber Windows strives to make the best qual ty products poss b e To do this, they must have a high degree o excellence n terms of des gn, technica functionality respons bi ty, durab lity and per formance

One of the strongest fee ings that owners o character ful homes have, is the desire to do the right thing by their properties; we too recogn se the mportance of doing what s right and of historica consideration with an equal evel of passion As part of the arch tecture of a structure he sign ficance of correct aes hetics and the appropr ate des gn of windows and doors, cannot be overstated

We take a dua -angled approach to our product range, letting both design and functionality carr y equa weighting with each influencing the other to achieve a super or finished range Our core products have been per fected over t me, a l with mproved engineer ng and security in mind S mply put, our range now provides the basis for products that can be easily ta ored to any type of home or style are historically correct as wel as being technically advanced

Responsibil ty is the over-arching princ ple by which we operate, bo h in terms of the environment, he people we work w th and the peop e we ser ve.

Through the crea on of a high-quality product, with both longevity and durabi ity, we are play ng our part in ensuring that less resources are required to carr y out the same purpose over time, and in turn pay respect to both the environment and our customers

At its ver y core, as a natura product, t mber has repa rability as a ma or benef accidents w ll always happen so it’s reassur ng to know that a timber product can be patched up and look as good as new w th no need for replacement this is in contrast to the disposab e nature of many man-made materia s

Extending the life of a product, reduces the need to buy more –buy better, buy less.

As further proof of th s our guarantees are ndustr y eading – we stand by what we make now and, in the future during their l fe

The way we v ew our customers and the way we think they v ew themselves is not as consumers of our products rather as owners There’s a distinct d fference – a consumer takes uses disposes and repeats while an owner is empowered to take responsib lity or our windows and doors with a sense of pr de.

B buy g hes w nd ws and doo ou he p t ke a e o he wo d o e t

While t may not appear to be sound business sense we wan to make it as easy as possib e for a customer to keep our products in their home for as long as possible

Turning our attent on to the sourc ng of timber, our favoured option, and the one chosen by 80% of our customers is Redwood derived from susta nab y managed plantat ons in Northern Europe backed by Forest Stewardship Counci ® (FSC®) certif cation (FSC - C124392) and other con ro led sources European Redwood is he timber used by Bri ish jo ners of yester year it has proven longevity is knot-free and stable and with our eng neered processes even stronger han ever

By the nature of a sustainable plantation, when trees are felled, new ones are always planted to replace those harvested. The cold climates in which they are nurtured, results in a slow growth that in turn means stronger, knot free timber with low moisture content. In fact, European forests are now growing by around 5,000 sq. km each year – these forests are crucial for the environment, removing Co2 from the atmosphere and locking it away.

We are also able to offer options of Meranti Hardwood and European Oak from sustainable sources.

The sourcing of our raw material and the processes through which it passes are of

great importance to another of our measures of high quality; low maintenance. We all know that maintenance is a chore no matter the nature of it, therefore routine cleaning and lubrication of certain

elements will stand you in good stead, and again our guarantees attest to the fact that we stand by our products.

As we’ve set out, our focus is on quality, while other factors that are important to us and our customers, include delivery in a timely manner and provision at a reasonable cost. Our price point and production lead time are reflective of our bespoke products, as well as the attention to detail that goes into everything we do. The materials used, the research, development and sourcing that happens in the background all contribute to delivering high quality products, with guaranteed longevity, which we ensure will exceed your expectations in every area.

ENGINEEREDTIMBER TRADITIONALWOOD

Traditional wood is both beautiful and tactile. For many centuries it has been the material of choice for windows and doors throughout Britain and Europe. But traditional wood has innate problems - a natural tendency to expand and contract, and when wet, to warp in the direction of the grain resulting in windows and doors that twist and stick, causing frustration for homeowners.

Engineered, or multilayer timber, is an innovative solution that counteracts these issues. It is created by layering wood sections, with the grain of one section of wood layered in the opposing direction to the grain of its neighbour.

As wet wood has a tendency to warp in the direction of the grain, layering the wood in this way ensures that any movement caused by the absorption of moisture is evened out.

10 REASONSTOCHOOSE TIMBERWINDOWS

1 Factory applied micro-porous coatings providing maximum protection but minimal maintenance

All of our windows and doors are factory painted prior to assembly, providing complete protection from moisture absorption and maximising longevity. Every product receives a base coat of timber preservative, then a primer coat, followed by two coats of micro-porous paint. You should expect our coatings to last from five to eight years without the need for re-treatment. Should you wish to change the colour of your windows then redecoration is a very simple task as there is no sanding down required. An average window should take about thirty minutes to re-decorate.

6

Glazing units almost twice as effective as ordinary double glazing

All of our windows and doors incorporate double-glazed units with enhanced thermally insulating glass, providing an extremely low U-value. We further improve the efficiency of the unit by filling the cavity with argon gas and using low conductivity spacer bars to minimise edge losses. The result is a 1.1 W/m2K centre pane U-value. This means an 80% increase in energy savings compared to single glazing, and a 45% increase in energy savings compared to ordinary double-glazing.

2 Internal beads for security

Glass is fitted from room side to prohibit would-be intruders from gaining entry by removing the glass.

7Exceptional

optical clarity

Advanced glass technology not only provides enhanced thermal performance but also much improved clarity, particularly compared to traditional hard coated low e glasses. High light transmittance (77%) maximises the entry of natural light into the home.

3 Neat, coloured silicone seals

So engineered timber is stronger, longer lasting and resistant to the issues that affect traditional wood. Windows and doors made with engineered timber retain their strength and structure, ensuring that they remain a perfect fit, just as they did on the day they were installed.

rubbing, no matter how damp the prevailing atmospheric conditions. This makes it the perfect choice for every area of the UK - no matter how exposed the location.

Engineered timber is also far easier to work with. It can be used to meet the design specifications of complex windows and doors much more efficiently than solid wood, yet retaining all of its natural appeal. And whilst state of the art computer controlled machinery inevitably plays its part, all of our engineered timber windows and doors are hand finished before being subjected to rigorous quality control, with every aspect of the construction and glazing fully checked and re-checked.

Purpose-made grooves on the inside and outside of the window receive the silicone necessary to protect against water ingress. Appropriate coloured or clear silicone is factory applied, guaranteeing a perfect, unobtrusive seal.

4 Ventilation channels help prevent double-glazing from misting

Ventilation channels protect against the failure of double glazed units. In standard systems misting can occur when glazing units are allowed to sit in water trapped within the frame.

5 Multi-layer timber sections with opposing grains, balances warping and combats twisting

Using engineered timber ensures that there is no warping or twisting, sticking or

So put us to the test visit one of our Timber Windows showrooms and see for yourself how timber has changed.

The use of multi-layer timber for windows and doors is long established in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, but very rare in Britain. The multi-layer structure used as standard throughout our range is particularly effective in resisting warping and twisting, as the opposing grains even out natural moisture movement. It is the twisting of timber during wet weather, more than the swelling itself, which causes standard wooden windows and doors to stick.

8 Warm edge spacer bars

Low conductivity spacer bars help to minimise heat loss and combat condensation levels on the inner pane.

9

Rebated glazing beads eliminate unsightly gaps between the frame and bead

In standard timber systems, paint is prone to cracking at the point where the bead meets the window frame. By rebating the glazing bead over the sash we conceal the joint, which eliminates the problem.

10 Security

All Timber Windows are fitted with advanced security locks that wrap around the openers on our Flush Casements and engage bolts in multiple points on our Lipped Casements. Doors are fitted with multi-point locking mechanisms, featuring hook-bolts and deadlock.

Timber Windows Listed - a collection of specially designed windows and doors that have gained positive feedback and approval from planning authorities across the UK.

We have assisted homeowners with buildings from a host of historical periods to meet the planning, conservation and preservation rules for their particular area with authentically designed timber windows and doors.

Knowing and understanding these rules should always be your first step. The authorities assess on a case by case basis, considering the significance and circumstances of the changes that you wish to make. So for this reason it is always best to make an initial approach to your local planning authority.

Our aim is to provide timber windows and doors that not only satisfy these rules but also enhance your homeimproving insulation, sound proofing and day-to-day operation whilst maintaining an authentic appearance for many, many years to come.

MODERN STANDARDS Historical preservation with

Choosing the most appropriate windows and doors is one of the most important decisions you will make for your home. This is never more poignant than when dealing with properties of conservation and listed status.

Windows and doors are among the most obvious components contributing to a building’s style and appearance, so ensuring that these are correct, both from the perspective of aesthetics and regulatory compliance, is vital.

Timber Windows Listed marries preservation of style with exacting methods of construction to produce levels of comfort and convenience that our forebears would envy. The use of engineered timber eliminates twisting, warping and draughts, whilst modern glazing, even in single glazed units, is both warmer and quieter than original glass.

With traditional hand processes and rigorous quality checking, every window and door passes through the hands of experienced, time-served craftsmen. Comprehensive guarantees on every window and door provide lasting peace of mind.
