If you’re thinking about double glazing your Hull home the chances are you’ve already decided on UPVc frames. After all if the double glazing industry is to be believed if you want maintenance free double glazing UPVc is the only way to go. While true wooden frames do have some distinct advantages over UPVc.
Because wooden frames are usually made to order the look of your windows can easily be changed to match your surroundings. This is particularly important in a conservation area where UPVc would stick out like a sore thumb and you may not be able to get planning permission without windows that match your surroundings.
I’ve lived in houses that have had UPVc and timber frames and I have to say I preferred the more natural look of the wooden frame. Yes the window frames do require a little bit of maintenance after the first few years but it’s not as much as you might think. Normally you just stain them once every 3-4 years to prevent the frames rotting and to refresh the colour. Wood has it’s own natural beauty and in this age of conformity it’s nice to step out of the conventional box once in a while.
Even though you may not have considered wooden frames as an alternative why not ask for a quotation? They may not be as expensive as you think and I believe you’ll be very impressed with the overall look you’ll get.
Buying Double Glazing in Hull just got a whole lot easier.
