Regular readers will have noticed that the His & Hers team is pretty passionate about property and interior design. We’re big believers in the fact that creating a home that you love, inside and out, will bring you a daily sense of satisfaction, and that ironing out any niggly issues (from draughty windows to a poorly thought-out layout right down to having too much clutter) will make your days run just that little bit more smoothly.
We regularly pick a key area of the house to focus on and today we’re focusing on windows, one of the easiest parts of the home to overlook when you’re making improvements, but one of the most important in terms of improving the look and function of your property.
His & Hers’ top five reasons why timber windows are an excellent home improvement choice:
- They’re a good choice for the long-term. Let’s face it, replacing your windows, unlike updating your wallpaper or accessories, isn’t one of those updates that you’ll want to make more than once! When using a trusted glazing installer, it should be a simple process no matter the type of windows you currently have. Traditional timber windows can be easily replaced for newer, more energy efficient wooden ones or even with oak effect uPVC (plastic) windows. There’s also no reason why you can’t switch older uPVC windows for more classic timber windows.
- They can be surprisingly affordable. Because so many people choose timber window frames, a large number of companies offer them and prices are competitive. Look out for a well-established window specialist in your local area, such as T&K Home Improvements, who offer affordable timber windows in Oxfordshire.
- They’re aesthetically pleasing and suit most architectural styles. Whether your home’s traditional or modern, timber windows will suit most architectural styles and periods. Many timber windows come in not only classic colours but also with modern finishes offering a whole different look to suit many properties. Overall, His & Hers would say that they have become a very affordable option now with the increased demand of this type of window. Plus, timber window frames tend to look much more expensive than they actually are, which is always a bonus!
- There are lots of different styles available. If you want plenty of choice, then timber frames are a good option for you, with a host of different styles and finishes available – from casement to tilt and turn and vertical sliders – the choice is yours. Also, if you want to break down the cost, finance is available through T&K Home Improvements, allowing you plenty of time to budget for your windows.
- Potential buyers like them. If you think you may want to sell your home within the next few years, it’s well worth considering timber window frames, as they’re easy on the eye and popular with would-be buyers. Also, as they’re easy to re-paint, this makes it easier for people to imagine putting their own stamp on them during house viewings.
