It doesn’t matter if you’re making home improvements or building a new house – doors and windows are an absolutely key component. With so many alternatives available, why should you consider traditional timber?

The beauty of wood

The main reason many homeowners and builders still choose timber doors and windows is for aesthetic reasons. Timber components can look better than the alternatives, whilst being sturdy, traditional and beautiful too.

The timber tells its own story, and traditional door and windows styles made from wood work brilliantly both in period houses and modern homes that want to exude style.

Knock on wood

The benefits of wood extend to more than just looks. Most modern timber doors and windows are made from sustainable sources, in many cases leading to a negative carbon footprint as new trees are planted to replace the old. Timber is easy to fix and repair too, while plastic and metal doors often have to be completely replaced if damaged.

Wood is also a great heat regulator, which is why sash and casement windows remain popular. While some window materials can stifle, these help keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Custom Timber Doors have a sister company – Custom Timber Windows – who provide the same bespoke, personal and high quality service for windows as they do for doors.
