Do you live in a period property with original timber windows? Are these wooden windows beginning to rot or deteriorate? Are your windows prone to cold spots or are they letting heat escape? You may have looked into the replacement options and you’re considering replacing your failing timber windows with uPVC or aluminium alternatives. STOP! Do not do this. Whatever negative things you may have heard about timber windows simply aren’t true.

Today’s modern timber window systems are a world away from the originals in terms of energy efficiency, security, and durability. They regularly outperform uPVC and aluminium across all performance criteria. As for their aesthetic. uPVC and aluminium are no match for the classic charm of a real wood window.

Protecting conservation area character

Kirkman Joinery create beautifully handcrafted timber products. Over the years, we have completed many installations in conservation areas. We have worked on listed buildings where it is imperative that the building’s traditional aesthetic is preserved. When working in a conservation area or on a listed building, there are laws in place to protect the original characteristics of the building or area. In many cases, uPVC or aluminium windows will not be allowed by local planning departments. Any restorations must be done using materials which closely resemble their original counterparts. This is where Kirkman Joinery’s expertise really comes into play.
