Incorporating Bespoke Timber Windows in Modern Architecture
October 2, 2024 | Trade | Written by bereco-admin
In the ever-evolving world of architecture, bespoke timber windows not only add real character to buildings, but they also offer superior modern performance. With increasing emphasis on sustainable building practices and the desire for unique designs, wooden windows offer an ideal solution.
Innovations in timber treatment and window technology make timber an increasingly attractive option for architects and builders. As a UK timber window and door manufacturer, we are constantly refining our products to meet the ever-changing needs of the construction industry.
In this blog, we will explore the integration of bespoke timber windows in modern architectural designs, highlighting their benefits, customisation options and applications.
Why choose bespoke timber windows?
Timber windows have become a popular choice for both new builds and renovation projects. Unlike aluminium or uPVC windows, bespoke timber windows offer the perfect blend of traditional craftmanship and modern functionality. Additional benefits of wooden windows include:
Sustainability
Made from the highest quality sustainably sourced materials means our timber windows have a lower carbon footprint compared to uPVC or aluminium.
Durability
High performing timber windows can last an incredible in excess of 60 years with proper maintenance and care.
Aesthetic Versatility
With a range of window design and styles to choose from our timber windows seamlessly integrate with various architectural styles.
Energy Efficiency
Modern timber windows offer excellent insulation properties. In fact, our double glazing achieves whole window U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K, while our triple glazing is 0.8W/m²K as standard.
Acoustic Performance
High performance timber windows can also deliver impressive sound reduction qualities, maintaining a sense of calm within properties.
