Unlike fashion crazes that go in and out of style, timber sash windows have an appeal that is likely to last a lifetime. They appeal to all generations and as they are so versatile, wooden sash windows can be installed in almost any property type.
When looking at the outside of a home, windows will undoubtedly make a massive impact. Box sash windows will offer a timeless and classic aesthetic appeal as they will probably never go out of fashion. “If it isn’t broken, don’t fit it,” as the common saying quite wisely states.
Installing wooden sash windows offers a wealth of opportunity for the homeowner as they can be designed to give a whole different look to the exterior of the home. For instance, as wood can be painted easily, those looking to update the outside of the building instantly do not have to invest a lot of time or money. By painting the window frames a lovely bright colour this will obviously give an instant update to any home.
Wood is a material that appeals to a lot of people due to its versatility and also its hardwearing properties. Compared to other materials, it is quite cheap to buy and although it may be more affordable this does not necessarily mean it is not of a good quality. With the correct weather proofing and care, there is no reason why wood frames should not last a long time.
In addition, wood can be cut down and measured to any size meaning it can be used to fit around windows of all shapes and sizes. Despite some people raising concerns about the environmental impact of using these frames, most UK window frame suppliers including Kellys Sash Windows source the timber used in the frames from reliable, sustainable forests.
