Heritage Windows and Doors: Timeless Style with Modern Efficiency

The charm of traditional windows and doors has captivated homeowners for generations.

Yet maintaining authentic timber frames can be both time-consuming and costly. This is where Timberlook’s heritage windows and doors offer the perfect solution. Whereas real timber can be expensive and high-maintenance, timber-effect uPVC offers the same charm and character at a fraction of the price and with very little maintenance required.

When looking for heritage windows and doors, wood-effect uPVC systems like Timberlook offer classic aesthetics with modern performance to create solutions that are both beautiful and practical.

A revolution in heritage design

When uPVC windows and doors first came onto the scene, most offered energy efficiency, durability and security – but not much in the way of style or character.

However, over the decades, technological advancements have allowed us to create uPVC systems that replicate the look of real timber.

At Timberlook, we crafted our heritage windows and doors with authenticity at their heart, allowing us to offer a range that combines the very best of tradition and modernity.

Flush fit

Our range of windows faithfully recreates the traditional look of windows seen on period properties with an elegant flush sash design, where the sash of the window sits perfectly flush with the outer frame when closed.

Authentic joints

We utilise the innovative ‘Timberweld’ process to create authentic-looking joints on our flush casement windows that perfectly replicate traditional timber joinery, eliminating the telltale diagonal welds typically associated with uPVC.

Perfect finishing touches

We offer a range of finish options for our Timberlook windows, including a heritage colour collection and realistic wood-effect finishes. Each design can be customised with a variety of authentic period details, including astragal bars, Monkeytail or Peardrop handles, and traditional-style window cills.

Heritage flush doors

Our Timberlook single and double French doors mirror the charming aesthetic of our Timberlook windows, with a perfect flush fit and discreet hinges for a truly traditional feel. We’ve crafted our door options to include diagonal welds for strength, and have consistent sightlines for a traditional timber aesthetic. Our elegant range of heritage doors comes complete with a range of modern and traditional door handles, and is perfect for both modern properties and heritage projects.

Concealed trickle vents

Trickle vents, although sometimes necessary, can spoil the look of heritage windows and doors – but at Timberlook, we’ve found a solution. When trickle vents are needed for our windows and doors, we can cleverly disguise them with a head drip, ensuring that the trickle vents don’t detract from the elegant heritage feel.

Superior energy efficiency for modern living

Energy efficiency is paramount in today’s climate-conscious world, and our Timberlook range is built to deliver the thermal performance modern living demands.

Our uPVC windows feature an insulating multi-chambered profile system that slows and minimises heat transfer.

The frames work in conjunction with high-performance double glazing to achieve impressive U-values ( as low as 1.2!), significantly reducing heat loss compared to traditional single-glazed timber windows. The glazing units also incorporate warm edge spacer bars and gas filling, further enhancing their thermal efficiency while maintaining the traditional aesthetic.

How does improved thermal efficiency benefit my home?

Improved thermal performance means your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, because heat loss and heat gain is minimised. Not only will your home be more comfortable, but you may even save money on energy bills as less energy is needed to maintain comfortable temperatures.

Low maintenance, high performance

But energy efficiency isn’t the only benefit to choosing uPVC over timber. Opting for wood-effect heritage windows can also result in significantly lower maintenance requirements over time.

Unlike timber windows that require regular maintenance cycles of sanding, painting, and treating to keep them weatherproof and durable, Timberlook’s uPVC windows and doors are remarkably low-maintenance. The uPVC profiles won’t fade, peel, rot, or warp, eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly maintenance.

The durable surface requires only occasional cleaning with soap and warm water to maintain its appearance, saving significant time and money over the lifetime of the windows.

Uncompromising security

Your home is your sanctuary, and we understand that keeping your property and loved ones safe is paramount.

Security features are incorporated into every Timberlook window and door without compromising their traditional appearance. Our range incorporates multi-point locking systems and quality hardware to ensure safety and security, and our windows and doors both achieve PAS24 accreditation.

These features combine to create windows that offer modern security standards while maintaining their period appearance.
