Energy-efficient timber windows: reducing costs and environmental impact

As energy bills continue to rise and environmental concerns take centre stage, trade professionals and installers are increasingly looking for window solutions that offer both superior thermal performance and sustainability.

At Bereco, we offer premium bespoke timber windows that offer the perfect combination of beauty and energy efficiency. Our range of timber windows offer an excellent opportunity to meet the demands of property owners whilst providing products that combine traditional aesthetics with modern performance.

Energy efficient timber windows: offer your customers insulation

Timber windows are an excellent choice for installers looking to offer their customers thermally insulating windows. The naturally superior insulation properties of timber frames, combined with advanced glazing technology, create an effective barrier against heat loss, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.

When it comes to thermal efficiency, Bereco’s timber windows exceed expectations. Our windows achieve U-values from 1.2, while our triple-glazed options deliver impressive U-values from 0.9.

These figures translate directly into tangible benefits for homeowners. By reducing heat loss through windows, properties become more energy-efficient, leading to potentially significant reductions in heating bills during colder months.

How do energy efficient timber windows help in reducing heating and cooling costs?

Energy efficient timber windows help reduce heating and cooling costs by providing better insulation, preventing heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer. This helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating or cooling systems, ultimately leading to lower energy bills.

Heritage and conservation considerations: authenticity and efficiency

For installers working with period properties or in conservation areas, timber windows offer a particular advantage. Unlike uPVC alternatives, wooden windows are typically approved for use in conservation areas, allowing you to maintain the historical integrity of buildings while dramatically improving their thermal performance.

Our wooden window range includes styles that perfectly complement heritage properties, with options including flush casement windows, lipped casement windows and  traditional sliding sash windows. Each style can be customised with various bar designs and ironmongery options, ensuring authentic period appearances while delivering modern energy efficiency standards.

The ability to offer historically appropriate windows that meet contemporary performance standards gives installers a significant competitive advantage in the heritage sector. This is particularly valuable when working on listed buildings or in conservation areas where maintaining architectural authenticity is paramount.

Sustainability: energy efficient timber windows for greener homes

Today’s customers are increasingly conscious of environmental impact, and timber windows offer compelling environmental benefits. Bereco’s timber windows are manufactured using only FSC® or PEFC certified timber, ensuring sustainable sourcing.

Timber has significantly lower embodied carbon compared to alternative materials, making it an excellent choice for projects where sustainability is a key consideration. This environmental advantage extends throughout the product lifecycle, from manufacturing to eventual disposal or recycling.

Durability: a long term investment

The durability of properly maintained timber windows makes them a great option for homeowners looking for a long-term investment that will offer excellent thermal efficiency for years to come.

A properly maintained timber window can last over 60 years, and our timber windows are supported by Bereco’s comprehensive 10-year warranty. The structural integrity of timber frames (which are crafted with engineered laminated timber sections for extra strength) remains excellent throughout their lifetime.

Additionally, the initial investment in quality timber windows is offset by reduced energy consumption and lower heating costs over time. Properties fitted with energy efficient timber windows often see an increase in their market value, making them an attractive proposition for homeowners planning for the future.

Meeting modern demands for homeowners

As energy efficiency requirements become more stringent, offering high-performance timber windows positions installers at the forefront of the market. Bereco’s products enable installers to meet and exceed current building regulations while providing solutions that are particularly suitable for conservation areas.

The proven sustainability credentials of timber windows address increasing energy cost concerns while delivering authentic period aesthetics with modern performance. This combination of traditional appearance and contemporary functionality makes them particularly attractive to homeowners seeking to balance character with comfort.
