Are Wooden Windows Better Than uPVC Windows?
Wooden windows and uPVC windows each have distinct advantages. Here’s how they compare:
Wooden Windows (Our Specialty):
- Aesthetic appeal: Timeless elegance and natural beauty that enhances period and contemporary properties
- Environmental: Fully recyclable, made from renewable resources
- Repairability: Individual panes and frames can be easily replaced without replacing the entire window
- Longevity: With proper maintenance, wooden windows last 50+ years; some antique windows are centuries old
- Customization: Endless design possibilities — any size, style, or specification can be crafted
- Thermal performance: Timber provides superior insulation when combined with modern double glazing
uPVC Windows:
- Lower initial cost
- Minimal maintenance required
- Less environmentally friendly (plastic-based, difficult to recycle)
- Cannot be easily repaired (usually requires full replacement)
Our recommendation: For period homes in Surrey or properties where aesthetics matter, wooden windows are the superior choice. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss which option is best for your property.
How Long Do Wooden Windows Last?
Lifespan: Properly maintained wooden windows typically last 50-80 years or more. Some timber windows in historic Surrey homes have lasted over 150 years.
Factors that extend lifespan:
- Quality materials — We use premium hardwoods (oak, mahogany) and softwoods (pine, Douglas fir) that naturally resist decay
- Professional installation — Correct installation by experienced craftspeople ensures proper sealing and drainage
- Regular maintenance — Annual inspections, repainting every 5-7 years, and addressing any damage immediately
- Proper ventilation — Good airflow prevents moisture buildup inside frames
- Climate protection — Sheltered locations last longer than exposed positions
Our 10-year warranty at Classic Joinery Surrey Ltd covers manufacturing defects and workmanship, giving you peace of mind with your investment.
What's the Cost of Bespoke Wooden Windows in Surrey?
